Abstract: In this paper, the effect of admixtures on the tensional
strength of concrete in Urmia-lake water have been investigated. We
made different types of concretes with the ratio of w/c and replaced
different percentages of micro-silica, air-entraining, super plasticizer,
corrosion-inhibiting, and caulk with two types of cement I and II as
well as investigating in both ordinary water and Urmia-lake water.
The tensional strength was investigated on these samples.
Abstract: In this paper, the torsion capacity of ultimate point on rectangular beams with spiral reinforcements in the torsion direction and its anti-direction are investigated. Therefore, models of above-mentioned beams have been numerically analyzed under various loads using ANSYS software. It was observed that, spirallyreinforced prismatic beam and beam with spiral links, show lower torsion capacity than beam with normal links also in anti-direction. The result is that the concrete regulations are violated in this case.
