“Major” equipment includes a concrete compression tester, course aggregate sieve shakers, a direct shear machine, a consolidation loading frame, and a UU/unconfined compression testing machine.

In a recent breakthrough, researchers developed a game-changing method for concrete manufacture. A study published in ...

“Concrete has been around for more than 2,000 years … and it has one key strength. (It is) very strong in compression. If you go to (Ford Field), go to (Spartan Stadium), you’ll see the ...

Notice how the top notch squeezes together in compression, while the bottom notch spreads apart under tension. Pre-stressed concrete is an ideal material for beam bridge construction; the concrete ...
