Researchers have, for the first time, used a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize the micro-scale strength of cement, allowing for the development of cement with desirable strength ...

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

This image shows a representative cement micropillar sample imaged by scanning electron microscope. Samples like this one are key to the use of a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

This study presents a hybrid binder that lowers embodied carbon by 45% and boosts concrete strength and durability using ...
