Tension tests were used to determine the mechanical properties of the stalks. Test results show that the tensile strength of the stalk walls ranges between 116 to 208 N/mm<sup>2</sup> while that of the core is almost one half of these values. The modulus of elasticity of the stalks is found to range between 10 to 30 kN/mm<sup>2</sup>. Flexural tests carried out on concrete beam specimens reinforced with a single DPF stalk showed that the stalk provided no reinforcing effect due to lack of bond resulting from the tapered nature of the stalk. Chemical tests were designed to examine the durability of DPF stalks in fresh concrete while accelerated tests were designed to investigate the long-term durability of stalks encased in hardened concrete. Results presented in this paper show that the alkaline medium of fresh concrete has no effect on the tensile strength of DPF stalks. They also show that coating DPF stalks with varnish greatly improves their long-term durability in concrete.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100692,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cement Composites and Lightweight Concrete","volume":"10 3","pages":"Pages 175-181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0262-5075(88)90007-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78939138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
