Normal-weight concrete with a 28-day cylinder strength of 27.6 MPa (4000 psi) is used. The constituents of the concrete and the methods of mixing, testing, transporting, pouring, and curing are all in accordance with the ACI 349 Code requirements. 

Two beams NSC-B2 and NCS-B3, made of normal concrete with a cylinder strength of 38 MPa and having different concrete block thicknesses, respectively equal to 75 mm and 90 nun, are analysed. Figures 8.16 and 8.17 show the obtained results. It can be seen that when the stress-strain curve of the concrete is used as is, that is without the effect of confinement, the predicted ultimate load-carrying abilities of the beams are less than the...

The reference sample in form of a cylinder or bar with probe placed on top of it, is subject to tensile or compressive loading using strength machine ( Instron type). 

A more important effect of prestressiag is its effect on the mean stress at the bore of the cylinder when an internal pressure is appHed. It may be seen from Figure 6 that when an initially stress-free cylinder is subjected to an internal pressure, the shear stress at the bore of the cylinder increases from O to A. On the other hand, when a prestressed cylinder of the same dimensions is subjected to the same internal pressure, the shear stress at the bore changes from C to E. Although the range of shear stress is the same ia the two cases (distance OA = CE), the mean shear stress ia the prestressed cylinder, represented by point G, is smaller than that for the initially stress-free cylinder represented by point H. This reduction in the mean shear stress increases the fatigue strength of components subjected to repeated internal pressure. 

Provided the design is such that it can be represented by coordinates which fall within the unshaded area, then the residual stress will not exceed the yield strength of the material. When the cylinder is built up of n components of the same material, it can be shown (35,36) that the interference per unit radius required for all cylinder mating operations is given by... 

Historically, strontium metal was produced only in very small quantities. Rapid growth of metal production occurred during the late 1980s, however, owing to use as a eutectic modifier in aluminum—silicon casting alloys. The addition of strontium changes the microstmcture of the alloy so that the siUcon is present as a fibrous stmcture, rather than as hard acicular particles. This results in improved ductility and strength in cast aluminum automotive parts such as wheels, intake manifolds, and cylinder heads. 

Transition aluminas are good catalyst supports because they are inexpensive and have good physical properties. They are mechanically stable, stable at relatively high temperatures even under hydrothermal conditions, ie, in the presence of steam, and easily formed in processes such as extmsion into shapes that have good physical strength such as cylinders. Transition aluminas can be prepared with a wide range of surface areas, pore volumes, and pore size distributions.
