Comparison of corrosion behavior of different prestressing strand types
R. Kalina, H. Wheat, S. MacLean, J. BreenIn order to complement a large-scale long-term investigation of prestressing strand types for post-tensionsing of bridges, passive and active electrochemical tests were carried…
Effect of internal hydrophobation, silica fume and w/c on compressive strength of hardened cement pastes
M. Baghban, P. Hovde, S. JacobsenInternal hydrophobation by adding hydrophobic agents during the mixing process is a method for reducing water permeability of cement based materials. It can be used as an…
Magnetism and electronic transport in (Ni, Cu)2 MnSn Heusler alloys under ambient and elevated pressures
S. Bose, J. Kudrnovský, V. DrchalThe electronic properties, exchange interactions, Curie temperatures and transport properties of random quaternary Heusler alloys (Ni, Cu)2MnSn are studied by means of…
Design optimization of bonded steel-concrete composite beams
Yangjun Luo, Alex LiBonded steel-concrete is one new type composite structure in civil engineering domain. Generally, for steel-concrete composite structures, the steel beam and the concrete are…
Mechanical and physical properties of particleboard made from two pulp and paper mill secondary sludges
S. Xing, B. Riedl, A. Koubaa, J. DengTo investigate environmentally friendly alternatives for sludge disposal, three proportions of secondary sludge (SS) from two pulping processes (Kraft and TMP) were incorporated…
Monte Carlo simulation of defects in hard-sphere crystal grown on a square pattern
Atsushi Mori, Yoshihisa Suzuki, Shigeki MatsuoMonte Carlo simulations of hard-sphere (HS) crystal grown on a square patterned wall under gravity have been performed. While previous simulations were performed with step-wise…
Ball milling of jute fibre wastes to prepare nanocellulose
V. Baheti, R. Abbasi, J. MilitkyThe objective of this work was to use the spinning waste in form of short fibres for the preparation of nano size fillers in nanocomposite applications. The present paper concerns…
Research of micro-vision technology for micro-fabrication
Lihong Li, Peng Wang, Minglu ZhangThe micro-vision system is designed for micro-fabrication. This system with force sensor controls micro-fabrication operation. The focus is calculated by one order moment…
Evaluation of codes and equation for prediction shear capacity in HSC beams without shear reinforcements
A. MardookhpourThis research suggests a simplified equation to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams without web reinforcements. The focus of study has been made to study of…
Thermal and efficiency analysis of a single phase induction motor with Peltier devices
R. Gouws, H. van JaarsveldtWe present the results obtained from the thermal and efficiency analysis of a single phase induction motor with Peltier devices. A single phase induction motor is completely…
Performance of eccentrically loaded GFRP reinforced concrete columns
M. Issa, I. Metwally, S. ElzeinyThis paper explores the behavior of GFRP and steel reinforced concrete columns when subjected to eccentrically axial loads. Six columns of 150*150 mm cross section were tested…
Influence of concrete shrinkage and creep on structural characteristics of precast and prestressed concrete shells
G. SossouThe actual concern for structural engineers is the failure of the structural material to meet the design safety and the safe service life of large span and wide floor space…
