Abstract:As a continuation of the study of the properties of prestressed cellular slabs, a nine celled unit of cement-asbestos was developed, and a slab composed of 16 of these units was tested. Since concrete cannot in itself develop high enough tensile strengths to withstand the diagonal tension encountered in slabs of this kind, cement-asbestos was used.
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.
