.1.8.1.1.3. Stress-strain curves for normal and lightweight concrete for the design of cross-sections in Euro code:
From the design concrete curve, it can be defined by multiplying the compressive strength with a coefficient factor σcc and dividing the strength by a material safety factor of γc = 1.5. The coefficient σcc is the effect of long term behavior on the compressive strength. It is, however, arguable that the reason for the using this factor is more related to the idealization of the shape of the stress-strain curve as used for flexure than the nature of loading. σcc is 0.85 of cylinder compressive strength and 0.67 for cube compressive strength. For the design of cross-sections, the following stress-strain relationship may be used figure (2.12), table (2.5) and Eq. (2.2), Eq. (2.3): fcd= (αcc.fck)/γc (2.2) σc = fcd [1-(1- ԑc/ԑc2)n] 0 ≤ ԑc ≤ ԑc2 (2.2) σc = fcd ԑc2 ≤ ԑc ≤ ԑcu2 (2.3) Figure (2.12): Parabola-rectangle diagram for concrete under compression (EN 1992-1-1:2004).

To use this equation, the internal force in each member must first be determined, by doing a structural analysis, and the strength of each member. Then, these numbers were used to calculate a unique factor of safety for every member in the structure. In short, known values of internal force and strength were used to calculate unknown factors of
Today in British society, class systems are still as prevalent as they were in the 19th century, there are seven social classes, ranging from the elite at the top to the extreme poor at the bottom. Typically in English society social class was always defined by occupation, wealth, and education with an addiction of social and cultural classes added. Social classes is a prevalent aspect of British society since before recorded history, it was the addition of money, land and title that increased the division of the classes. As the industrial revolution swung into full force, the division of classes strengthened. Social mobility became a common occurrence as society developed and moved forward towards the twentieth century. This holds true in the novel Hard Times, written by Charles Dickens in the Nineteenth century, examines the British class system through examples of social relationships and the labor force. (4)
Codes of practice specify details in order to resist cracking in the concrete structure, for example the minimum area of reinforcement required in a section and also the limits to the maximum and minimum spacing of the bars. There are few rules that need to follow which is specified in the codes of practice is shown in Table 2.4
That performed laboratory session on bending moments and shear forces requires good understanding and sufficient knowledge of axial forces. Bending is defined as a behavior of any structural element that undergoes the external load, which is applied perpendicularly to longitudinal axis. That experiment helps us to find the maximum load that can be applied to the beam with rectangular cross section. Moments are calculated by using statics theory, or multiplying perpendicularly directed load by the respective distance to the pivot point.
The testing is done in a laboratory off-site. The only work done on-site is to make a concrete cylinder for the compression test. The strength is measured in Megapascals (MPa) and is commonly specified as a characteristic strength of concrete measured at 28 days after mixing. The compressive strength is a measure of the concrete’s ability to resist loads which tend to crush it.

From Figure 3-13 to 3-15, it can be observed that the total influences of F-T cycles are decreasing with the increasing vertical load. These changes are similar to the BSM/geomembrane interface results. For instance, under 150 kPa normal stress, the shear strength of samples subjected to 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 F-T cycles are 134 kPa, 131kPa, kPa, 125kPa, 123kPa and 113 kPa, respectively. The total change of shear strength from un-treated BSM samples to 10 F-T cycles treated samples is 15.7%. When the samples were tested under 250kPa and 350kPa, the total differences drop to 7.3% and 7%, respectively. In these Figures, pre-shear phenomenon can be observed in some curves. This may be caused by the deformation and wearing of the shear boxes’ screw

Ahlbeck et al. (as cited in Sun & Dhanasekar 2002)[4] point out that that stress distribution (stress response) under concrete sleeper is Trapezoidal shape uniformly until the foundation as demonstrated in Figure 2.1.1 and the stress distribution angle (internal friction angle) of the rail ballast has effect on the stiffness the damping of the upper and the lower divisions of the rail ballast.
This is done via a free-body diagram and statics calculation, as seen in Appendix B. The known equation of axial stress and flexure formula can then be used to find the stress in the C-clamp under eccentric loading. Equation (3) finds axial stress, where P is the applied load and A is the cross sectional area of the section:
Different ICF systems also vary in the shape of the resulting concrete within the wall:
In 1990, T.H. Cooke wrote a book “Concrete Pumping and Spraying: A practical guide”. This book is related to pumping operations of concrete. A nomograph is suggested by this book which is used for determining the working power required for conventional concrete and SCC so that costing can be done. It explains the graph and tells the method of usage.

Over the years, technological advances have afforded all of us great opportunities and have granted us access to certain things that we otherwise wouldn't have had. One of the most popular forms of technology used worldwide is the use of cell phones. Although they are helpful, the creation and development of cell phones have been both a gift and a curse. Having a cell phone in class can be beneficial for the student when it comes to urgent communicating. Cell phones provide a swift way to reach out to a person if a problem occurred in someone's family. However, the downside of having a cell phone in class is that it causes many distractions for the student, classmates, and the teacher. The usage of cell phones is creating a vast problem mainly when used in school; they are a distraction, anyone can easily chat, and they can take away from peer-to-peer interactions in class. Cell phones can distract a student from learning if someone's cell phones continuously make noises from text messaging and phone calls. When surfing the internet and social media during class, you can miss the whole class lecture and possibly put yourself in a position to fail that class. Cell phones take away from peer-to-peer interactions in class which can affect them individually, and it can also affect the ones around them.
