    What is the Young's modulus for concrete under third point loading?

    ps thank you for your reply, I've run it through various values and its jumping from 9 to 30GPa. so i think ill take the 30 and run!

    What is the Young's modulus for concrete under third point loading?

    The smalles load value i have is 0.33kN and a deflection of 0.011mm which still gives me a pretty low value of E... 9GPa i think.

    What is the Young's modulus for concrete under third point loading?

    I've got a beam of Length 500mm under third point loading. width = 100mm depth=100mm Force at rupture is 6.627kN change in length =0.000019m = 0.019mm can someone help me with the Youngs modulus please i'm getting 6.87 GPa... which seems a bit low for concrete? Although possible...

    Solve Basic Calc Probs: dy/dx for y=z7, z=sin(x) & y=√z , z=x4+1

    ok I am kinda struggling with the latex code... what a ballache! apologies if this is confusing z=1/2√z & z=x4+1 = 4x3 then i get 4x3/2√x4+1 how does that look...?
