Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Nano Silica on the Compressive Strength of Harden Cement Paste at Different Stages of HydrationJustin Montgomery, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer A. Hamoush, Miguel PicornellThis study investigated the compressive strength of hardened cement paste and the formation of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) with the addition of nano silica (SiO2). Compressive strength testing was performed using MTS and Forney testing machines to determine stress-strain curves and compressive strength of the materials. The hydration process and formation of C-S-H and Calcium Hydroxide (CH) was examined using … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2016 · 8,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Numerical Approach for Evaluating the Convergence-Confinement Curve of a Rock Tunnel Considering Hoek-Brown Strength CriterionPierpaolo OresteThe convergence-confinement method is frequently used for the analysis of the behavior of a tunnel and to define the support structures necessary to guarantee its stability. The reasons why it is used extensively, at least in the preliminary study phases of a tunnel are: The fundamental parameters of the problem (the diameter and depth of the tunnel, as well as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 14 Jan 2015 · 6,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStrength, Chloride Permeability and Corrosion of Coarse Fly Ash Concrete with Bagasse-Rice Husk-Wood Ash AdditiveVeera Horsakulthai, Kittichat PaopongpaiboonThis study studied the utilization of Bagasse-Rice Husk-Wood Ash (BRWA) as an additive for improving the strength and durability of coarse Fly Ash (FA) concrete. The ground BRWA was used as an additive for maintaining the consistent slump of FA concrete. The strength, chloride permeability and corrosion resistance were investigated. The chloride permeability of concrete was evaluated using the measurement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 14 Mar 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign, Development and Numerical Analysis of Honeycomb Core with Variable Crushing StrengthShabnam Sadeghi Esfahlani, Hassan Shirvani, Ayoub Shirvani et al.A honeycomb core with half-circular cut-away sections at the spine (the adjoining cell walls) is designed and developed and numerically tested under axial dynamic load condition. The parametric study is invoked to identify the effect of various circular cut-away dimensions. In one embodiment a half-circular shaped cuts are removed from the top of the cell where the cell is impacted … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2013 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFlexural and Tensile Characteristics of Micro Fiber-Reinforced Very High Strength Concrete Thin PanelsTaher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie Fini, Monique LumpkinThe purpose of this research was to experimentally characterize the flexural and tensile characteristics of fiber-reinforced Very High-Strength Concrete (VHSC) panels. The panels were made with a unique mix of cementitous materials achieving compressive strength of 26,000 psi (180 MPa) or greater. VHSC panels were reinforced with polypropylene fibers of 1 inch (25.4 mm) in length and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,495 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePermeability, Strength and Filtration Performance for Uncoated and Titania-Coated Clay Wastewater FiltersMasturi, Silvia, Mahardika Prasetya Aji et al.Problem statement: Wastewater problems continue to be a relevant issue, particularly in urban areas. One promising low-cost material for manufacturing porous ceramics as water filter is clay. Clays can be blended with other materials such as polymers to obtain functional ceramic materials. Approach: Ceramic wastewater filters were fabricated from clay using both sol-gel and simple mixing methods followed by hot-pressing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 29 Feb 2012 · 8,395 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdvantages of Utilizing Geotextiles in Fixing Sandy Soils and Increasing Shear Strength in Water Conveyance TrenchesAlireza Mardookhpour, Leila OoshaksaraieWith the increasing demand in water supply and either for generation or for irrigation and human consumption, water conveyance structures must guarantee a maximum efficiency at the lowest construction and maintenance costs. Using thin geotextiles allow very low permeability and very high transmissivity. Conclusion/Recommendations: The system constructs a continues, low roughness on the entire section of canal.
