Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty Impact of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient on the Concrete Chemical DegradationA. BadaouiReinforced concrete is the construction material widely used in civil engineering. However, knowledge of its long-term performance and the uncertain impact of the environment on his behaviour make it difficult to accurate assessment of the durability of structures with time. When a structure is put into service, it is likely to damage, which origin can be physical, mechanical or chemical. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,758 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluences of Short Discrete Fibers in High Strength Concrete with Very Coarse SandMahyuddin Ramli, Kwan Wai HoeProblem statement: High Strength Concrete (HSC) normally content high cementitous amount and low water binder ratio. However, these would cause substantial volume changes to the concrete and therefore affected the strength development. In addition, the brittleness of HSC was increased when silica fume used as partial cement replacement to achieve high strength. Approach: This study discussed the effects of incorporated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,812 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChloride Penetration Resistance Studies on Concretes Modified with Alkali Resistant Glass FibersK. Chandramouli, P. Srinivasa Rao, N. Pannirselvam et al.Problem statement: This research study presented the durability performance of glass fibre reinforced concrete. Approach: The influence of fiber content on the durability performance of glass fibre reinforced concrete specimens having different percentage of glass fibres with varying grades of concrete were investigated. Results: The parameter of investigation included rapid chloride permeability test for a period of 365 days. Specimens … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,253 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,911 accessesView PDF Cite
