The inventors and original supplier of a popular shear-stud reinforcement for two-way flat slabs in concrete frames are up in arms over charges, based on recent research, that the American Concrete ...

It is possible to characterize the shear thinning behavior of thermoplastic materials using a Flow Rate Ratio (FRR) test method in an extrusion plastometer (melt indexer). This test method, “Procedure ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...
