Evaluating post-fire mechanical performance of S355J2W weathering steel with different artificial cooling approaches

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
Compared with carbon steel, traces of Ni, Cr, Ti, and other corrosion-resistant alloying elements were added to the matrix of bridge weathering steel, which resulted in the steel surface forming a strong adhesion and dense patina that hindered the ...

Strontium isotope compositions of river waters as records of lithology-dependent mass transfers : the Garonne river and its tributaries (SW France) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The relation of lithology in the drainage basin to the dissolved load of the Garonne river and its main tributaries, in southwestern France, was evaluated by determining 87Sr/86Sr ratios, and concentrations of major and trace elements during a 2-year ...

Artificial weathering of plastics used in oyster farming

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 2023
With the omnipresence of plastic litter from oyster farming in marine coastal areas, the objective of this work was to better understand the weathering of plastics used in this field, focusing on oyster spat collectors. During their use, around fifteen years, collectors made of polypropylene (PP) undergo numerous degradations, alternatively submerged ...
