... unconfined compressive strength ( UCS ) or splitting tensile strength ( STS ). Two curing conditions were used (100% RH and the laboratory) for different curing durations (7, 14, 28 days, and 10 months). Lab-cured 10-month specimens with Duraflex admixture ( DFI ) were 10–25% statistically stronger than...

... ) at proportions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% of the binder’s weight. The flowability of the fresh mortar was assessed. The mechanical parameters examined were compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength. The durability characteristics of fire resistance, water absorption, water sorptivity...

...Hoang An Le; Thanh Hai Nguyen This study conducted an experimental investigation to evaluate the splitting tensile strength of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and UHPC reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) incorporating different fibre types including copper-coated and hooked-end steel fibres, basalt...
