Crushing test One of the model in which pavement material can fail is by crushing under compressive stress. A test is standardized by IS:2386 part-IV and used to determine the crushing strength of aggregates. The aggregate crushing value provides a relative measure of resistance to crushing under gradually applied crushing load.
In this study, the flexural strength of plain FRC and polypropylene FRC beams and the effect of GFRP reinforcing bars on fracture width are evaluated. The flexural strength and the reduction of fractures in weathered and unweathered beams were enhanced by 28–30% due to adding fibers at a volume percentage of 1% compared to …
