Dynamic uniaxial compression tests for the Bukit Timah granite in Singapore were conducted at four loading rates (10 0, 10 1, 10 3 and 10 5 MPa/s). It was found that the compressive strength increases from 205 MPa to 235 MPa with loading rate increasing from 10 0 to 10 5 MPa/s. Evidence also indicates that there are small changes in the Young's modulus and the …

Mechanical characteristics during static loading at different confining pressures. Figure 4 presents the stress-strain loading results of the granite sample at different confining pressures. When the applied air pressures are 0.25 MPa, 0.3 MPa, 0.35 MPa, and 0.4 MPa, the maximum strain rate is 125 s −1 and the minimum strain rate is 50 s −1 at confining pressures …
A limited number of research studies have managed to attain high-strength geopolymer concrete, especially by utilising waste materials. In this study, granite waste (GW) from the mining industry, which contaminates the surrounding environment and causes air pollution, and rice husk ash (RHA) from agricultural waste were used to produce high-strength …

As shown in Fig. 4 a, it was found that the compressive strength of ceramsite increased from 24.62 MPa to 26.59 MPa as the preheating temperature rose from 300 °C to 400 °C, but when the preheating temperature exceeded 400 °C, the compressive strength of the ceramsite lowered. This is because the lower preheating temperature could lead to ...
