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

“…While the Fracture Mechanics model works well for VC, it does not predict cylinder-to-cube strength relationships for SCC as effectively, likely due to its unique properties. To address this, a new conversion relationship for cylinder-to-cube compressive strength, also based on Fracture Mechanics, is proposed, offering a more accurate and reliable method for evaluating concrete strength. …”
