Lecture

Concrete Resistance: Mechanical Properties

Description

This lecture covers the mechanical properties of concrete, focusing on its resistance to fractures and the critical role of cracks in determining its strength. The presentation discusses the influence of factors such as porosity, age, and temperature on the compressive strength of concrete, as well as the impact of reinforcement on its tensile strength. Various testing methods for measuring strength and the effects of different curing conditions are also explored.
