Determination of Elastic Modulus of Concrete in Accordance with ASTM C469
Modulus of elasticity of concrete is the ratio of normal stress to the corresponding strain for tensile or compressive stresses below the proportional limit of concrete, ACI 318-14. The value of elastic modulus of concrete can be obtained using formulas ...
Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete- Determination and Importance in Design
Modulus of elasticity of concrete(Ec) is defined as the ratio of the applied stress to the corresponding strain. Not only does it demonstrate the ability of concrete to withstand deformation due to applied stress but also its stiffness. In other ...
8 Factors Affecting Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
Modulus of elasticity of concrete is the ratio of the stress to the strain of the concrete under the application of loads. It is one of the very crucial properties of concrete that gets affected with the influence in concrete ...
