MODULUS OF ELASTICITY OF CONCRETE

MODULUS OF ELASTICITY OF CONCRETE

The modulus of elasticity of concrete E c adopted in modified form by the ACI Code is given by


With normal-weight, normal-density concrete these two relations can be simplified to


where E c = modulus of elasticity of concrete, lb/in 2 (MPa); and = specified 28-day compressive strength of concrete, lb/in 2 (MPa).

Products & Services
Concrete Blocks and Cement Blocks
Concrete blocks and cement blocks are preformed, manufactured concrete structures that are ready for on-site installation. They are manufactured, cast, and cured in factories or other production facilities.
Specialty Cement, Concrete, and Mortar
Specialty cement, concrete and mortar contain specialized binders such as K silicate, calcium aluminate, sulfur, and oxysulfate or polymer resins. They cure or set through film drying (air setting), chemical reactions, thermoset bonds, hydraulic bonds, hot melting, and multiple component binder systems.
Oxide Ceramics
Oxide ceramics include alumina, zirconia, silica, aluminum silicate, magnesia and other metal oxide based materials.
Cement, Concrete, and Mortar
Cement, concrete and mortar are polymer or cement-based binders, compounds or aggregate mixtures for joining components and forming structures.
Polymer Concrete and Mortar
Polymer concrete and mortar are binders, compounds, and aggregate mixtures that use epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester or other polymer resin bonds. They cure or set through chemical reactions, thermoset bonds, and multiple component binder systems.
