As per Indian codes, compressive strength of concrete is defined as: Field cured concrete in cubic steel molds (Greece) The compressive strength of concrete is given in terms of the characteristic compressive strength of 150 mm size cubes tested after 28 days (fck). In field, compressive strength tests are also conducted at interim duration i.e ...
Hankinson's equation (also called Hankinson's formula or Hankinson's criterion) [1] is a mathematical relationship for predicting the off-axis uniaxial compressive strength of wood. The formula can also be used to compute the fiber stress or the stress wave velocity at the elastic limit as a function of grain angle in wood.
Fig. 1: Critical stress vs slenderness ratio for steel, for E = 200 GPa, yield strength = 240 MPa.. Euler's critical load or Euler's buckling load is the compressive load at which a slender column will suddenly bend or buckle.
Ultimate strength is an attribute related to a material, rather than just a specific specimen made of the material, and as such it is quoted as the force per unit of cross section area (N/m 2). The ultimate strength is the maximum stress that a material can withstand before it breaks or weakens. [12]
According to the classical theories of elastic or plastic structures made from a material with non-random strength (f t), the nominal strength (σ N) of a structure is independent of the structure size (D) when geometrically similar structures are considered. [1] Any deviation from this property is called the size effect.
Cohesive strength (c) for some materials Material Cohesive strength in kPa Cohesive strength in psi; Rock: 10 000: 1450: Silt: 75: 10: Clay: 10 to 200: 1.5 to 30: Very soft clay 0 to 48: 0 to 7: Soft clay 48 to 96: 7 to 14: Medium clay 96 to 192: 14 to 28: Stiff clay 192 to 384: 28 to 56: Very stiff clay 384 to 766: 28 to 110: Hard clay > 766 > 110
The Eurocodes published by the Comité Européen de Normalisation provide guidance of the calculation of strength for compression members in concrete, masonry, steel and timber. [3] There are other codes for steel compression members only. [4] [5] [6] [7]
A Lally column is a round or square thin-walled structural steel column filled with concrete, [1] and oriented vertically to provide support to beams or timbers stretching over long spans. Lally columns are an engineered component and as such must be installed exactly as the design engineer specified.
