A probabilistic framework for modeling chloride‐induced corrosion and related load‐deformation behaviour of reinforced concrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Chloride‐exposed reinforced‐concrete structures often suffer localized corrosion, so corrosion initiation time and average steel loss are poor indicators of structural performance. This paper presents a spatially resolved, proof‐of‐concept framework that couples diffusion‐based chloride ingress and initiation with a localized morphology model ...

Static and Dynamic Properties and Temperature Sensitivity of Emulsified Asphalt Concrete

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
Asphalt concrete is a typical rheological material, which is hard brittle at low temperature and reflects soft plastic facture at high temperature; the temperature has a great influence on the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete.

Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

Research on Performance of Asphalt Concrete and Microcosmic Analysis of Its Reinforcing Mechanism

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
This paper provides guidance for the use of asphalt concrete materials through the study of the action mechanism of asphalt concrete materials and the specific test results. Fiber-asphalt concrete is selected as an example and different mixtures are used

Estimation of fuel resistance of asphalt concrete and polymer modified asphalt concrete

Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies, 2015
Досліджено закономірності зміни паливостійкості асфальто- и асфальтополімербетонів при чистому згині в умовах одночасної дії статичного навантаження і дизельного палива. Вивчено вплив консистенції в'яжучих і способу модифікації бітуму полімером типу СБС на стійкість асфальтобетонів до дії палива. Показано, що технологія модифікації бітуму полімером, що

Reducing automotive exhaust: Road performance, purification efficiency, and purification mechanism of self-purified asphalt concrete

Case Studies in Construction Materials
To reduce automobile exhaust, self-purified asphalt concrete was prepared with a tourmaline/biochar/diatomite (TBD) purifying agent. The road performance of self-purified asphalt concrete was clarified.

ALL POSSIBLE PASTS: Heritage, Simulacra, and Gentrification in Seoul

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban heritage scholars have often criticized simulacra as ‘bad’ copies that degrade the ‘good’ model of the past through commercialization and gentrification. This article challenges such Platonic dichotomies of good/bad and model/copy, arguing that the binary of good heritage and bad simulacra is flawed because heritage is itself actualized ...

A picture worth a thousand words: The effect of murals on crime

Criminology &Public Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Drawing on the tenets of situational crime prevention, several place‐based interventions are both effective in reducing crime and relatively inexpensive. The installation of large exterior murals also fits within the situational crime prevention framework.
