| Abstract | This thesis describes an investigation of the properties of microconcrete suitable for models of concrete structures. The aggregate grading used in the micro-concrete was designed to be geometrically similar to gradings used in normal concrete. The stress-strain curves of micro-concrete are compared with the normal concrete stress-strain curves developed by KRIZ and LEE (1960) from a statistical analysis of the experimental stress-strain curves obtained by HOGNESTAD, HANSON, and McHENRY (1955). It is shown that the stress-strain curves of micro-concrete and normal concrete of the same strength are practically identical. The relationships between compressive strength, tensile strength and modulus of rupture of the two materials are found to be similar. |
