The specimen size and shape effects on the compressive strength of higher strength concrete were investigated on different sized cylinders having constant length-to-diameter ratio (l/d), different sized cubes, and cylinders with various l/d for 40, 60, and 75 MPa compressive strength levels. The apparent strength values of 75mm diameter cylinder and 75 and 100mm cube specimens were lower than those of the larger specimens used. Also, the compressive strength was determined to be insignificantly affected by changing l/d as the strength of concrete increases. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Target damage level assessment for seismic performance evaluation of two-column reinforced concrete bridge bents Yilmaz, Taner; Caner, Alp (IOS Press, 2012-01-01) Displacement capacity verification analysis is usually used to evaluate the level of displacement at which structural elements reach their inelastic deformation capacities. In engineering practice, a modified version of displacement capacity analysis is used in the seismic performance assessment of bridge structures as an alternative to ductility and drift based approaches. In this seismic performance evaluation for a given target damage level, top bent displacement demand should not exceed a certain fracti...
Analytical prediction of thermal displacement capacity of integral bridges built on sand Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2005-02-01) In this research, analytical equations are developed to calculate the lateral displacement capacity and maximum length limits of integral bridges built on sand based on the low-cycle fatigue performance of the piles under cyclic thermal variations and the ultimate strength of the abutment under positive thermal variations. To formulate the displacement capacity and maximum length limits of integral bridges based on the low cycle fatigue performance of steel H-piles under cyclic thermal variations, first, H-...
Influence of elevated temperature on axially loaded expansive cement grout borehole plug sealing performance Akgün, Haluk (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2000-10-01) The strength of expansive cement grout borehole plugs cast in rock cylinders is investigated theoretically and experimentally as a function of curing and testing temperature of the plugged rock cylinder and of borehole size. The distributions of thermally induced stresses and displacements, shear stresses along the plug-rock interface due to an axial stress applied to the plug, and resultant interfacial shear stresses due to a combination of uniform elevated temperature and axial load are studied and analys...
Influence of degree of saturation on the borehole sealing performance of an expansive cement grout Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2000-02-01) The strength measures of expansive cement grout borehole plugs cast in welded tuff cylinders is investigated as a function of the degree of saturation of the plugged rock cylinder and of borehole size. Details on experimental procedure regarding rock cylinder and cement grout preparation, sample curing conditions, experimental apparatus, sample loading, mechanical characterization of the rock, and cement grout, along with procedures for the determination of the sample saturation assuming uniform saturation,...
Particle-based characterization of Ottawa sand: Shape, size, mineralogy, and elastic moduli Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Stutzman, P. E.; Garboczi, E. J. (Elsevier BV, 2017-10-01) The success of computational materials science models for cement and concrete, at the micrometer-to-millimeter scale, is based on careful characterization of the two main starting materials - cement and aggregates. Concrete is a complex material, and models based on over-simplified chemical, geometrical, and topological assumptions have limits on the behavior they can realistically simulate. In this paper, a sample of Ottawa sand was carefully characterized, since this material is used in laboratories all a...
