Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

This image shows a representative cement micropillar sample imaged by scanning electron microscope. Samples like this one are key to the use of a 'micropillar compression' technique to characterize ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Because composite structures are subjected to flexural loading in typical applications, it is not surprising that flexure testing of composites is commonly ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In my October 2015 column, I compared three V-notched shear test configurations used to measure the shear stiffness and shear strength of composite materials: The ...

Test compression offers the benefits of higher quality and lower test cost, but how do you choose the best methodology and tools for your current and future designs? Test compression evaluations ...
