Abstract Basic mechanical properties of Tibetan rubble stone masonry, a unique architectural structure in western China, may affect the bearing capacity of architectural structures. In this study, a compression test was carried out on a Tibetan rubble prism to investigate its failure mechanism and stress-strain characteristics under uniaxial compression. Based on the experimental results, we obtained two simple compression constitutive models for Tibetan rubble stone masonry, established equations applicable to predicting the compressive strength of Tibetan rubble stone masonry, and obtained a relationship between compressive strength and the elasticity modulus through a regression analysis.

Abstract In this work, the phase composition (relative fractions of monoclinic m-ZrO2, tetragonal t-ZrO2, and cubic c-ZrO2 phases) and mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness, compressive strength) of alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) ceramics, with an addition of silica were investigated. Calcium oxide was used as a stabilizer for the zirconia tetragonal phase. It was shown that CaO-ATZ+SiO2 ceramics demonstrate increased resistance to low-temperature degradation. The plasticity signs at room temperature were found due to the SiO2 addition to CaO-ATZ ceramics. A yield plateau appears in the uniaxial compression diagram at 5 mol. % SiO2 concentration. It is hypothesized that discovered plasticity is due to the increased t→m transformability.

The experiment studies how the freeze-thaw cycles influence concrete compressive strength and elasticity modulus with different water-cement ratio under the air-entraining agent and zero of that value respectively. It can be found that modulus of elasticity and compressive strength of the concrete specimen reduced significantly when there is air-entraining agent; the durability of freeze-thaw resistance, however, makes great improvement; as the cement increases, both of them improves effectively. Through the comparison of concrete compressive strength and elastic modulus with different water-cement ratio and air-entraining agent, the optimal water-cement ratio and air-entraining agent were determined. The results of experiment can be used in concrete engineering design in severe cold area.

Through the uniaxial compression test, the mechanical properties of different placements of iron wire cement mortar, e.g. compressive strength and elastic modulus, were studied, and the mass ratios of cement, sands and water influencing the mechanical properties were put forward, which provided the experimental results for reference for the wide use of the iron wire cement mortar material. From the study it is gained that: (1) The best placement of the iron wires in cement mortar is horizontal. (2) The best mass ratio of the cement, sands and water is 1:4.70:0.81.

The mechanical properties of rock-like materials always attract the interest of many researchers. In this paper, we study the influence of specimen cross-section shape on uniaxial compressive strength as well as their deformation, damage and failure characteristics by uniaxial compression tests. The diameter and height of circular cross-section specimens are 50 and 100 mm, respectively, and the height and cross-sectional area of other specimens are equal to that of circular cross-sectional ones. Simulation and experimental results show that the cross-sectional shape has little effect on uniaxial compressive strength. Moreover, the effect on other mechanical properties is also very limited before the peak strength, such as stress–strain curve, rotation and motion of particles, contact damage and energy evolution of particles; however, it gradually becomes obvious after the peak strength. This is a very important feature, which affects the macroscopic form of failure of specimens and reflects the difference between failure surfaces. The shapes of failure surfaces obtained from numerical simulations are quite similar to the experimental results, which verify the reliability of numerical simulation results. Finally, the achievements can serve as a reference for related engineering issues.

AbstractFiber-reinforced concretes (FRCs) have a wider application range than ordinary concretes. Properties of FRCs necessarily depend on the characteristics of the aggregates used. We have studied first effects of gamma radiation on mechanical properties of hydraulic concretes containing Portland cement, silica sand, marble, water and Nylon fibers. Compressive strength and dynamic elasticity modulus are of particular importance. In the second stage we have analyzed the changes in these mechanical properties after storage of our concretes for three years. The long storage results in a 97 % of increment in the compressive strength and simultaneous lowering by 35 % of the dynamic elastic modulus. We find a larger influence of the Nylon fibers than those of silica sand and marble on mechanical properties of the concretes.

High temperature and thermal environment can influence the mechanical properties of building materials worked in the civil engineering, for example, concrete, building rock, and steel. This paper examines standard cylindrical building marble specimens (Φ50 × 100 mm) that were treated with high temperatures in two different thermal environments: vacuum (VE) and airiness (AE). Uniaxial compression tests were also carried out on those specimens after heat treatment to study the effect that the thermal environment has on mechanical behaviors. With an increase in temperature, the mechanical behavior of marble in this study indicates a critical temperature of 600°C. Both the peak stress and elasticity modulus were larger for the VE than they were for the AE. The thermal environment has an obvious influence on the mechanical properties, especially at temperatures of 450∼750°C. The failure mode of marble specimens under uniaxial compression is mainly affected by the thermal environment at 600°C.

Based on experiments of uniaxial compression and flexural experiments, the basic mechanical properties (compressive strength and flexural strength) of reactive powder concrete (RPC) were investigated, the effect of the steel fiber content on mechanical properties of RPC was studied in this work. The resu1ts indicate that the axial compressive strength of RPC had no obvious change with the change of steel fiber content. When the steel fiber content varied from 1.0% to 2.0%, the flexural strength of RPC had no obvious change.When the steel fiber content varied from 2.0% to 5.0%, the flexural strength of RPC increased dramaticlly with the increase of steel fibers content. According to experiment curves, an equation for the compressive stress-strain curve of RPC was deduced with different stee1 fiber content.
