Quality control of structural concrete has been conducted for decades using the axial compression test. The Pull-Out Bond test is suggested here as an alternative to the axial compression test of concrete. Well known and ...

Multi-Perforated Clay Bricks (MPCLBs) are widely used in the construction of modern masonry structures worldwide, including earthquake-prone areas. However, few experimental studies have been carried out aimed at performing ...

The ash of rice rind is a pozzolanic material that reacts with the calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH)2) forming bonding composites, when finely worn out and in water presence. Considering this behavior, the objective of the present ...

This research focused on portland blast-furnace slag cement high-performance concrete (HPC), with specified 28-day compressive strengths between 60 to 110 MPa. Compressive and flexural strength, elastic modulus, abrasion ...

Abstract The study of connections for timber structures has been the subject of intense research in Brazil. This work aimed to study the embedment strength of connections made by steel pins (dowels) in specimens of reforested ...

The objective was to determine the reliability of isokinetic strength and endurance testing in the ankle joints of patients with intermittent claudication. Twenty-three patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and ...
