President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Unlike metals and plastics, for which tensile and compressive properties are the same or very similar, unidirectional composites exhibit significantly different ...

Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. (CSE: ARGO) (OTCQB: ARLSF) (FSE: 94Y) ("Argo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the 56-day compressive strength test on its graphene-infused ...

Argo Graphene Solutions reported that a 56-day compressive strength test on its graphene-infused concrete mix poured in Bristol, Tennessee, showed a 24.35% increase over the 4,000 psi design strength, ...

Researchers have, for the first time, used a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize the micro-scale strength of cement, allowing for the development of cement with desirable strength ...

This image shows a representative cement micropillar sample imaged by scanning electron microscope. Samples like this one are key to the use of a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize ...

Consider the following scenarios for a project on which the specified compressive strength (fc’) is 3,500 psi at 28 days. These are all examples of incorrect interpretations of the acceptance criteria ...

This video demonstrates the compression test performed on a milk crate using Instron universal testing machine. Compression testing was performed to measure the strength of the milk crate. Instron ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Because composite structures are subjected to flexural loading in typical applications, it is not surprising that flexure testing of composites is commonly ...

When the new Wanda Vista Towers building is completed in Chicago it will be 1,140 feet tall with 95 floors. The footprint of the building will be approximately 350 by 150 feet and will feature a hotel ...
