..., crack resistance, and toughness characteristics of this alternative pavement foundation material, which is composed of more than 90% by weight of waste products. As an extension to the ASTM C 496 procedure for splitting tension tests, two lateral linear variable differential transformers (LVDT) were...

... ratio, toughness, impact resistance, sound and heat insulation, and freezing and thawing resistance. The benefits of using magnesium oxychloride cement as a binder for rubberized concrete mixtures are discussed. Various applications in which rubcrete could be advantageous over conventional concrete...

... microcracking. Also, regardless of air-entrainment,it was found that crack counts were highest in samples that had gained strength most rapidly. KEYWORDS: concrete, crack counts, accelerated curing, strain control, toughness, strength Concrete under accelerated curing by steam at atmospheric pressure generally...

...NN Eldin; AB Senouci As a possible solution to the problem of scrap-tire disposal, an experimental study was conducted to examine the potential use of tire chips and crumb rubber as aggregate substitutes in portland-cement concrete mixes. In this study, strength, durability, and toughness as well...
