Equations compressive strength

The mechanics of materials approach to the micromechanics of material stiffnesses is discussed in Section 3.2. There, simple approximations to the engineering constants E., E2, arid orthotropic material are introduced. In Section 3.3, the elasticity approach to the micromechanics of material stiffnesses is addressed. Bounding techniques, exact solutions, the concept of contiguity, and the Halpin-Tsai approximate equations are all examined. Next, the various approaches to prediction of stiffness are compared in Section 3.4 with experimental data for both particulate composite materials and fiber-reinforced composite materials. Parallel to the study of the micromechanics of material stiffnesses is the micromechanics of material strengths which is introduced in Section 3.5. There, mechanics of materials predictions of tensile and compressive strengths are described.

Equation (20) and the deviation of the index n from the uniform-bonding value of 2 have been used to interpret compressive strength data for wet and dry iron ore balls [55] and for fertilizer granules [56]. 

Table 13.12 permits a comparison of the values of the tensile, flexural and compressive strength. The strength ratios of polymers are compared with those of other materials in Table 13.13. Obviously there is a strong influence of the Poisson ratio on the value of the compressive/tensile strength ratio. The following empirical equation provides a good estimate (see Fig. 13.63) ...

Many empirical relations between compressive strength and one or more of these variables have been proposed. Thus, Feret s law (1892) states that the strength is proportional to [c/(c -I- w -h a)], where c, w and a are the volumes of cement, water and air, respectively, and various authors have reported equations based on regression analyses relating strength to cement composition and other variables (e.g. AI7,A18). The generality of such equations appears to be limited, probably because of the difficulty of taking into account all the relevant parameters. 

An alternative method to quantify the brittleness of a seal rock uses the unconfined compressive strength derived from sonic logs. This method uses the brittleness index, BRl= UCSIUCSf c, where t/CS c is the unconfined compressive strength of a normally consolidated rock. UCS can be measured directly or is estimated from logs based on empirical correlations using the equation... 

Figure 8 exhibits the carbon fiber content vs. compressive strength of artificial woods. The compressive strength of the artificial woods decreases with increasing in the carbon fiber content, HPMC content and shirasu balloon content. Such compressive strength decrease may be explained by increases in both water-(cement+silica fume) ratio and voids in the artificial woods according to the water-cement ratio theory and voids theory, and is expressed by the following empirical equation ... 

Compressive strength depends on the stiffness of the material, thus, all of the parameters which affect stiffness, including the effect of fillers, influence compressive strength. > > 2.95,128-9 following equation associates compressive strength with other mechanical properties ...

The data in Fig. 5.26 confirm that the relationship between tensile strength a, agglomerate forming particle size x, and surface tension of the binder liquid a and the porosity function (1 - s)/s as per Equation 5.2 is correct and Fig. 5.27 proves that the (compression) strength of agglomerates increases linearly with the surface tension of the binder liquid as indicated by Eq. 5.2.

The polymer-cement ratio (P/C) to give the required secondary properties is determined on the basis of information shown in catalogs and technical data by the manufacturers of polymer latexes for cement modifiers. Simultaneously, the binder-void ratio (a) to satisfy the required oc and P/C is determined by using an equation for compressive strength prediction. 

For the purpose of developing the equations for the compressive strength prediction for latex-modified mortars and concretes, all-inclusive consideration of various factors such as polymer-cement ratio, water-cement ratio, and air content is required. Expanding Talbot s void theoryP on ordinary cement mortar and concrete, OhamaP P l defined binder-void ratio (a) or void-binder ratio (P), and empirically proposed the equations using a and p to predict the compressive strength of the latex-modified mortars and concretes as follows ...

With the help of these equations the uniaxial compressive strength/elastic modulus of jointed rocks can be determined for known values ofjoint factor and uniaxial compressive strength/elastic modulus of intact rock. It is observed that the ratios of both static and dynamic elastic modulus decreases with an increase inthe jointfactorunder unconfinement.

Figure 14 shows the experimental values of uniaxial compressive strength ratio versus joint factor along with a fitted curve.
