Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...

This study investigates the mechanical behavior of alkali-activated concrete (AAC) subjected to triaxial compression under different confining pressures and freeze-thaw cycles. A series of triaxial ...

Micropillar compression testing [1] is fast emerging as a viable alternative to nanoindentation, for the measurement of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of small volumes and thin films.

This video by ADMET shows a concrete compression test performed according to ASTM C469 - Standard Test Method for Static Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson's Ratio of Concrete in Compression.

Anatomically realistic organ replicas or phantoms allow for accurate studies and reproducible research. To recreate a human kidney, mimicry of the elastic properties of the human kidney is crucial.

When the new Wanda Vista Towers building is completed in Chicago it will be 1,140 feet tall with 95 floors. The footprint of the building will be approximately 350 by 150 feet and will feature a hotel ...
