On the optimal choice of fibre orientation angle in off-axis tensile test using oblique end-tabs: Theoretical and experimental studies
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
Shear strength evaluation in composite materials still remains a not fully solved problem. One of most promising proposals to characterise a material in shear by means of a simple tensile test is the off-axis tension test ...

Analysis of the Utilization of Air-Cooled Blast Furnace Slag as Industrial Waste Aggregates in Self-Compacting Concrete
(MDPI, 2019-03)
In this work, the effects of replacing the aggregates of self-compacting concrete by air-cooled blast furnace slag have been analysed. Different mixes have been manufactured by substituting the fine and coarse natural ...
