Effective Mechanical Properties of a Composite Material Reinforced by Oil Shale Ash Particles by Olga Kononova, Andrejs Krasnikovs, Ilgar Jafarli, Iveta Novakova, Volodymyr Gulik, Mindaugas Vaišnoras

“…The rule of mixtures and FEM generally overestimated the modulus for epoxy–OSA, whereas the Mori–Tanaka and Halpin–Tsai methods provided closer predictions. For concrete–OSA, the compressive strength tests followed the LVS EN 12390-3:2019 standards, with elastic modulus conversions being made via IS 456:2000 Clause 6.2.3.1, which showed a variable decrease across different strength classes. …”
