Issues in Purchasing and Maintaining Intrinsic Standards

Author(s)
R B. Pettit, K Jaeger, Charles D. Ehrlich
Intrinsic standards offer many advantages over conventional artifact standards, including, in many cases, a very low uncertainty of measurement and no need for...

Concrete Materials Database

Author(s)
C B. Oland, Chiara C. Ferraris
ACI Committee 126 on Database Formats for Concrete Materials Properties was organized in 1990 to develop and report information on database formats for concrete...

Elastic Properties of Model Porous Ceramics

Author(s)
A P. Roberts, Edward Garboczi
The finite element method (FEM) is used to study the influence of porosity and pore shape on the elastic properties of model porous ceramics. Young's modulus of...
