To achieve high strength the concrete specimens were subjected to compression after casting and accelerated curing.
Our work uncovers a new gradient design strategy to help metals and alloys achieve high strength and high ductility.
In hot stamping, blanks are hot formed and press hardened in a water-cooled tool to achieve high strength.
This type of glasses and glass matrix composites are able to achieve high strength together with pronounced work-hardening.
Geopolymerization of natural aluminosilicate minerals exhibiting low reactivity typically require supplementary cementitious materials to achieve high strength.
In this context, the innovative concept of phase reversion-induced NG/UFG structure enabled achieving high strength besides comparable ductility, for instance, in metastable austenitic stainless steels.
Engineering twin boundaries at the nanometer scale is regarded as an effective approach to achieve high strength while maintaining a substantial work-hardening ability.
Thus, it is important to know the methodology of achieving high strength and durable concrete in order to avoid formation of cracks in the structural member.
Furthermore, we present the ligament length scale as a new parameter to tailor foam properties and achieve high strength at low densities.
Finally, mechanisms of achieving high strength and ductility in low-SFE materials were analyzed based on the strain-hardening behavior and deformation patterns.
