A new approach to the study of the size and the geometry effect on compressive strength in concrete by Ángel De La Rosa, Gonzalo Ruiz

“…By analyzing experimental data from previous studies on both vibrated (VC) and self-compacting concrete (SCC) (water-cement ratios ranging from 0.28 to 0.67 for VC, and from 0.35 to 0.43 for SCC), this research proposes a model to calculate the conversion factor between cylinder and cubes.Results show discrepancies between the fib Model Code 2010 predictions and experimental data, emphasizing the importance of incorporating Fracture Mechanics parameters, such as fracture energy, for accurate strength predictions. …”
