Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the tensile strength of concrete, often overlooked in construction testing despite its critical role in reinforced concrete's most common failure mode. The author's original experiments determine the flexural strength of concrete, exploring how age and aggregate proportions affect its tensile strength. Tensile strength is shown to increase rapidly with age, especially between 14 and 70 days. Moreover, richer concrete mixtures exhibit greater strength, emphasizing the importance of precise mixture specifications by weight. This book provides valuable insights into the properties of concrete, with implications for building construction practices and safety standards. By understanding the factors that influence concrete's tensile strength, engineers and builders can design and maintain structures with greater confidence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. …
