The specific failure mode depends on parameters such as concrete compressive strength, embedment depths, steel strength, edge distance, spacing between headed bars, and other variables, as discussed ...

To investigate the axial compression performances of precast concrete columns with a novel steel connection, axial compression tests were carried out on 14 specimens. The effects of four different ...

The concrete blocks can open and close, or slip, providing the crack and failure behaviors of concrete under compression. On the one hand, a steel fiber restricts the relative motion of the concrete ...

The compressive strength of concrete, a critical material in civil engineering, refers to its ability to withstand failure, particularly in the form of cracks. The 28-day compressive strength is a ...
