5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is tensile failure?
Think of how materials behave under stretching forces.
Name the primary cause of compressive failure.
Consider the opposite of pulling forces.
What happens in tensile failure?
Remember how tensile forces affect materials.
True or False: Compressive failure results from concrete being crushed under excessive stress.
Think about what happens to concrete under heavy loads.
A new bridge is built with reinforced concrete beams. During the first season, cracks appear in the tension zones of the beams. Discuss the likely failure mechanism and preventative measures that could have been employed.
Consider design codes that address tensile strength.
Analyze a university campus scenario where concrete structures are showing signs of durability-based failure. Discuss environmental impacts and engineering solutions.
Think about winter and moisture relations with concrete.
