These mortars are of higher porosity and lower strength in comparison with cement-based mortars but they have exhibited noticeable durability.
To reduce the stress concentrations, an angle with a rounded corner was fabricated from steel tube and used as the anchorage, resulting in noticeable improvements in strength and ductility.
In fact, the addition of fibers into concrete may provide noticeable residual tensile strength at a crack, linking the two adjacent faces of any crack due to the bridging effect provided by its enhanced toughness.
Indeed, there were also noticeable enhancements in strength and modulus for halloysite epoxy nanocomposites because of the reinforcing effect of the halloysite nanotubes due to their large aspect ratios.
The experimental results show that the confinement system adopted produced a noticeable increment in strength and ductility, though the low mechanical ratios of fibre considered were not always able to ensure hardening behaviour up to rupture.
On a purely statistical basis therefeore, there will be no noticeable increase in the strength of northern voices within Whitehall.
In general, noticeable effect in compressive strength was observed with the addition of 0.5 to 1.5% CNTs to LMM.
