This work describes proposed experimental methods for the characterization of concrete in fresh and hardened state, with the purpose of contributing to the experimental characterization of concrete. The main objective was ...

As the world's leading civil construction materials, concrete and mortar are the focus of ongoing studies aimed at improving their properties. These materials are highly versatile; hence, some of their aspects, such as ...

The search for an adequate destination to the tires without use is a problem for many countries. The use of tire rubber in concrete through the partial substitution of the small aggregate has for objective the withdrawal ...

This work analyzes the effect of temperature on the mechanical behavior up to failure of self-compacting high strength concrete specimens when subjected to three different stress paths, corresponding to the uniaxial ...

This work presents a numerical model to simulate the failure behavior of slender reinforced concrete columns subjected to eccentric compression loads. Due to the significant influence of the lateral displacements on the ...
