the influence of sample shape, deformation rate and test temperature on the mechanical properties
determined with an uniaxial tensile test. The results showed the clear effect of measurement
conditions on tensile strength, elongation and modulus of elasticity. The highest tensile strength and
modulus of elasticity were exhibited by epoxy resin for the filling of concrete cracks, which
achieved 1\% elongation. The lowest coefficient of dispersion characterized the results of tensile test
carried out using dumbbell samples at a deformation rate of 50 mm/min. The effect of temperature
varied with the material type.
The Centre for Territory, Environment and Construction (CTAC) is a research unit of the School of Engineering of University of Minho (UMinho), recognised by the “FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia” (Foundation for Science and Technology), associated to the Department of Civil Engineering (DEC), with whom it shares resources and namely human resources.
Currently CTAC aggregates 25 researchers holding a PhD of which 20 are faculty professors of the Civil Engineering Department. Read more
