Abstract:Introduction. The shear strength of concrete, while not being an independently standardized indicator of concrete quality, plays an important role in the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The concepts related to the dependence of the shear strength of concrete on the standardized compressive and axial tensile strength are quite ambiguous. Self-compacting concrete (SCC), which has been widely used recently, is somewhat different from ordinary concrete (OC) compacted by vibration in terms of structure … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
