THE DEFORMATION OF CONCRETE AND MICRO-CONCRETE IN COMPRESSION AND TENSION WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO AGGREGATE SIZE

THE EFFECTS OF VARYING THE TYPE AND SIZE OF THE AGGREGATE ON THE STRESS-STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF CONCRETE AND MICRO- CONCRETE IN COMPRESSION AND TENSION ARE DESCRIBED. BY APPLYING NEW EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES, IT HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT THE USE OF A LARGER AND ROUNDER AGGREGATE YIELDS A CONCRETE WHICH ATTAINS A LOWER MAXIMUM STRENGTH AT A CORRESPONDINGLY SMALLER DEFORMATION. /RRL/A/
