In recent years, ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has been widely used in bridge engineering owing to its high strength and toughness and excellent durability. UHPC can improve the stiffness of ...

To investigate the influence of ordinary reinforcement on the bending moment capacity of prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) pipe piles, this study conducted flexural tests on four prestressed ...

Static flexural testing has long been conducted because it is a simple method for evaluating all types of materials. Static flexural testing of composite materials, in particular, was discussed in my ...

My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...
