The Effects Of An Epoxy (Epocast 546) Upon The Tensile And Compressive Properties Of Portland Cement Concrete, Alvy C. Jackson

Civil Engineering ETDs

Although the behavioral pattern of plain concrete in compression is fairly consistent, its tensile properties leave much to be desired. The laboratory investigation described here was an attempt to increase the tensile property of plain concrete by adding an epoxy resin compound to the mixture. The investigation included tests for both compressive and tensile strengths of the mixtures that were considered. The compressive strength tests were included to determine what effect, if any, the attempt to increase the tensile property had on compressive strength.

Design Of Plain Concrete Runways And Taxiways Of A Class 4 Airport, Erkmen Erkmen

Masters Theses

"This thesis is a study for determining the most economical design for the pavements of Adana Airport. It is a study of redesigning efficient and safe runways and necessary taxiways for a future service life of thirty years.

Adana is Turkey’s 6th largest city. It is a growing city. An airport in Adana also serves tor industrial purposes, serves for transcontinental airway systems. In Adana there is an important Nato Base and in a future war such an airport can be used for military purposes. For these reasons, it was decided to construct a class 4 airport* for the city. …

A Study Of The Effect Of Blended Coarse Aggregate On Air-Entrained Concrete Progress Report 3, S. T. Collier

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The purpose of this investigetion was to study the durability characteristics of a river gravel, used as coarse aggregate for concrete, with respect to four major fractions separated in accordance to their general mineralogical classification. This aggregate was from the same stock of Ohio River gravel that was used in earlier phases of this Project reported in 1947.

Since this gravel consisted of several rock types varying in mineralogic constituents, it was conceivable that poor performance could possibly be attributed to some undesirable fraction or fractions, rather than to the aggregate as a whole. The separation of this aggregate was …

Study Of The Effect Of Blended Coarse Aggregate On Air Entrained Concrete Second Progress Report, Kentucky Highway Materials Research Laboratory

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

When the first progress report on this study of blended aggregate was prepared in January, 1947, only three of the nine groups of samples in Series I had completed the durability tests, and specimens in four of the seven groups composing Series II had not even been prepared. In contrast, at the present all samples in Series I have completed the durability tests thus concluding the results pertaining to Ohio River gravel from Louisville, and specimens in three groups of Series II (applicable to glacial gravel) have finished the durability tests. Further than that, several additional groups of samples which …
