If you have ever worked on a mega Construction project you would have already know what is rebar splice coupler? What is mechanical splicing of rebars? What different types are of rebar splicing system? What are “type-1” or “type -2” mechanical splicing systems?If you don’t know answers to one or more of above mentioned questions than … Read more
When it comes to estimating and testing the strength of materials, people sometimes gets confused between toughness and strength so here is answer to the difference between compressive toughness and flexural toughness.Before understanding the compression and tension \”term\” you \”must\” know what is toughness and strength.First, I would like to clarify that toughness is different … Read more
Ultra-high performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete is a relatively new construction material having minimum coarse aggregate (usually size greater than 6-7 mm is not used) having discrete random steel fibers uniformly distributed across the concrete matrix with the basic strength of above 14,000 psi (100 MPa) in 3 or 4 days that can go upto as … Read more
In a stress-strain curve there are various regions and limits like you might have heard about elastic limit and yielding point etc. However in this post we will not talk about all of these points and will only discuss about a phenomenon named “Strain Hardening”. This topic is very important for civil engineers and structural … Read more
