The frictional resistance of sandblasted interfaces due to aggregate interlock fails after a relative slip of 0.03 – 0.05 mm and is independent of the applied normal stress.
EK400
For heavily-loaded columns or those carrying large moments resulting in high compressive forces the bedding should be fine concrete using a maximum aggregate of 10 mm size and a water-cement […]
EK253
Creep takes place in the hardened cement matrix around the strong aggregate. It may be attributed to slippage along planes within the crystal lattice, internal stresses caused by changes in […]
EK115
Although concrete has low thermal conductivity, and thus good resistance to temperature rise, the strength begins to drop significantly at temperatures above 300 degrees Celsius and it has a tendency […]
