Nano-lamellar materials with ultrahigh strengths and unusual physical properties are of technological importance for structural applications. However, these materials generally suffer from low tensile ...

Concrete is resilient for compressive strength but weaker to tensile loads. Moreover, resistance of reinforced concrete structures for cyclic loading solely depends on the reinforcing steel bars which ...

Developed primarily for high-strength applications, these steels are usually heat-treated alloys that provide strengths at least equal to those of as-rolled steel. Heat-treated constructional alloy ...
