An experimental study carried out to observe the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Near Surface Mounted (NSM) steel bars is presented. The test was on nine beams. All tested were subjected two-point monotonic loads. ratio longitudinal reinforcement (1%, 1.4%, and 2.4%) NSM (1D16 2D16) used as variables. It found from result that significantly increase However, fai...

PURPOSE A new light curing urethane dimethacrylate and a cold curing resin with simpler and faster laboratory procedures may have even improved flexural properties. This study investigated the 3-point flexural strengths and flexural moduli of two alternate base materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cold curing resin (Weropress) and a light curing urethane dimethacrylate base material (Eclipse). ...

The flexural strength and flexural modulus of an experimental metal-resin composite, which used Ag-In alloy particle as the filler, were evaluated. The effect of acid treatment and heat treatment on the Ag-In alloy particle was investigated. The flexural strength of the experimental metal-resin composites ranged from 65.5 MPa to 91.0 MPa. The flexural strength of the metal-resin composite incre...

Many types of healing agents have been investigated. These agents are processed in different ways, such as adhesive polymer in capsules or hollow fibre glasses, bacteria in porous aggregates and geo-materials directly incorporated in the cementbased materials. In this study, sodium silicate powder is encapsulated in polystyrene particles (polystyrene particle containing sodium silicate is defin...

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in concrete manufacturing is considered as financial, technical and environmental benefit. In this regard, this paper presents the experimental and analytical study of high strength concrete (HSC) with alccofine-1203 (alccofine) and fly ash as partial replacements to cement. A total of seven mixes were prepared with different percentages of...

Mortars containing carbon, polyethylene, and stainless steel fibers at the same volume fraction and with similar fiber diameters were compared in terms of tensile, compressive, and flexural properties. Carbon fibers, though having the lowest tensile modulus, stren[?th, and elongation at break among the fiber types, [?ave mortar of the highest tensile strenf?th and lowest cost; polyethylene fibe...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Composite resin may be used in different temperatures; it is crucial to determine the effect of temperature on mechanical properties of nanohybrid and silorane-based composite. PURPOSE This in vitro study compared the flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of nanohybrid and silorane-based resin composite, at 4˚C, room temperature (25˚C), and 45˚C. MATERIALS AND...

Fibres are generally used as resistance of cracking and strengthening of concrete. In this project, I am going to carry out test on steel fibre reinforced concrete to check the influence of fibres on flexural strength of concrete. According to various research papers, it has been found that steel fibres give the maximum strength in comparison to glass and polypropylene fibres. Hence, in this pr...
