Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Sulfonated Acetone Formaldehyde (SAF) on the Firing Resistance and Aggressive Attach of SRC-SF Composite Cement PastesRanda M. Osman, S. Al-MasryThis work aimed to study the effect of the dosage of laboratory synthesized Sulfonated Acetone Formaldehyde (SAF) on the physic-mechanical characteristics and durability of SF-SRC cement pastes immersed in 4% MgCl2 or 4% MgSO4 solutions or at elevated temperatures up to 800°C. The compressive strength of thermally treatment cement pastes with 1.5% SAF increases up to 600°C, then decreases up … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2015 · 7,137 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractal Dimension for the Characterization of Asphalt Mixture PropertiesGiovanni LeonardiIn the design of asphalt mixtures for paved roads, the shape of solid elements has a great importance. In asphalt concrete, the shape of aggregate particles influences the resistance, durability, stiffness, fatigue response and the required binder content of the mixture. Fractal geometry is more suitable to describe the irregularity of the shape of aggregate particles. This paper describes the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 13 Jul 2016 · 7,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing of Box-Benken Method to Predict the Compressive Strength of Self-Compacting Concrete Containing Wadi Musa Bentonite, JordanArabi N.S. AL Qadi, Mahmoud B.A. ALhasanat, Ahmad AL Dahamsheh, Sleiman AL ZaiydneenThis research presents application of Box-benken design method to develop model for predicting 28 days compressive strength of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with partial replacement of cement with Wadi Musa bentonite, Jordan for which the data of 15 mixtureshave been tested and preparedat the laboratory of AL Hussien Bin Talal University. The use of Bentonite as filler materials in self-compacting concrete … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 27 May 2016 · 8,182 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite

The number of wearable electronic devices available in today’s electronics market including smart watches, activity trackers, helmets and smart clothing seems to grow substantially. In fact, this technology is recognized as one of the hottest trends and one of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2015 · 7,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecycle of Plastic Waste and Agricultural WasteKhin Aye Tue, Moe Moe ThweManufacturing of polymer composites using plastic waste is one of the solutions to solve the environmental pollution problems caused by non-biodegradable polymer. In this study, Rice husk fiber Reinforced Polyethylene composites (RhRP) have been fabricated with rice husk fiber and plastic waste (recycle low density polyethylene) by compression molding method. Effect of fiber volume fraction, pressure and temperature on the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Aug 2013 · 7,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrength, 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 accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR CORROSION CRACK IN R.C. FOR SECOND TUNNEL LINING BY USING KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMYousif Abdulwahid Mansoor, ZhiQiang ZhangDuring the last two or three decades, incidence of failure of reinforced concrete structures has been seen widely for many reasons, such as increasing service loads and/or durability problems and the economic losses due to such failures are costly. Nowadays, the size and the form of repair and rehabilitation market are too large since there has been an increased emphasis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
