Concrete

andeventual cracking, Ceramics- Stiffness, strength, corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, good surface finish. Brittle and expensive, low conductivity. Polymer Concrete- Low Young’s Modulus, low thermal conductivity, high damping properties. Tensile and impact strengths lower, creep more under sustained load Polymer-Impregnated Concrete (PIC)-…

Bond Strength and Stress slip of Lap splice reinforcement with Fiber Reinforced Polymer wrapped and unwrapped concrete beams with the confinement properties. Abstract: This paper describes the experimental results of different researchers to examine the properties and behavior of lap splice reinforcement in a concrete beam. Beam specimens were constructed and tested in the lab. The beam specimen was tested with monotonic (cyclic) and fatigue loading. The beam was divided into three groups:…

Texas at Austin is a great place that actively promotes a diversity of art around campus. One of the art work that belongs to the Landmarks’ collection, is the concrete block structure Circle with Tower by LeWitt, with the Wall Drawing #520 inside the building. The public Art Program of The University of Texas at Austin has purchased this concrete block sculpture, which is called “Circle with Towers”, from the Madison Square Park Conservancy in New York. As Sol LeWitt becomes parted of the…

mentally represent and refer to objects and events with words or pictures and they can pretend. However they can’t conserve, logically reason, or simultaneously consider many characteristics of an object. On the other hand, a 9-year-old student is in Concrete operational stage, which is from 7 to 11 years old. During this time, children gain a better understanding of mental operations. Children begin thinking logically about…

Throughout this article, Jason will be going over how concrete poetry can be an interesting genre to analyze and what makes concrete poetry an authentic genre. By looking at concrete poetry through the lens of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), Jason focuses on how the content blends together with the visual appearance to create a deeper meaning. Going back to 7th grade, my english class was learning about the broad genre of poetry. At first, I thought “Oh boy. . . another writing…

In ancient Rome, the development of concrete and the arch played an integral part in the shaping of Roman culture. In order for Rome to create the metropolis she would become, strategic use of concrete and the arch was necessary to deploy. The following paper will discuss how important Rome’s creative use of concrete and the arch was in shaping Roman culture. Rome, whom would fulfill all her heart’s architectural ambitions, faced tough challenges before she could realize her potential.…

My family and I have visited Brackenridge Park for many years now, beginning from a time where my line of vision extended only a few feet off the ground to the beginning of my time at university. Granted, my height might not have changed much, but time certainly has. Brackenridge Park easily surpassed the dreaded McAllister Park (dreaded because as a child, I hated nothing more than spending hours walking through the never-ending park in the middle of the burning heat that Satan himself would…

usually fibrous but may have a particulate or other shape (web.mit.edu). They are produced when two or more materials or phases are used together to give a combination of properties that cannot be attained otherwise. For example steel reinforced concrete, plywood and fibre glass. 1.2 What is a Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC)? CMCs are a subgroup of composite materials. They consist of ceramic fibres embedded in a ceramic matrix, thus forming a ceramic fibre reinforced ceramic (CFRC) material. 1.2…

Intro; A bridge is a structure that is built over a river, road, or railway to allow people and vehicles to cross from one side to the other. (CambridgeDictionaryOnline.com) Bridges come in many different shapes sizes and designs. However there multiple different categories of bridges ranging from Arch bridge, Truss bridge, Cantilever bridge, Cable-Stayed bridge, Beam bridge and Suspension bridge, All ranging with different designs. All of the different bridge designs are made to withstand a…

Schools Not only is sunken concrete in schools unsightly, but it poses a trip hazard for teachers, students, and parents. Once concrete voids form underneath the slab, the damage gets worse over time. However, there are many concrete repair options available, but which method will address the underlying problem? Sunken concrete can now easily be transformed into safe concrete slab by using polyjacking. With polyjacking, high density polyurethane fills voids and cavities underneath the slab. It…
