This study presents a precise method for monitoring shear crack development in concrete using acoustic emission analysis ...

Summarises key recent research in the areas of understanding the response mechanisms of concrete under tensile conditions Offers a summary of the most important parameters that affect the tensile ...

Rebar helps to alleviate this issue because, unlike concrete, rebar is pretty great taking tensile stress ... and also decreases the speed at which failure occurs, giving engineers crucial ...

Compressive strength is defined as the maximum compressive load a body can bear prior to failure, divided by its cross sectional area. Ceramics typically have good tensile strengths and are used under ...

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t strong. Although concrete has good compression strength, the tensile strength is quite poor. Around the late 1800s, someone thought to fortify spans of concrete ...
