Cement-cork mortars for thermal bridges correction. Comparison with cement-EPS mortars performance [PDF]

Construction and Building Materials, 2013
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the advantage of cork-mortars for renderings when compared to EPS-mortars, from a thermal characteristics point of view, namely in steady and unsteady conditions. It was intended to develop specific rendering mortars able to be applied in thermal bridges to reduce condensation effects and heat transfer in ...

Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

Effect on compressive strength of epoxy-modified mortar with further dry-curing [PDF]

, 2015
The percentage of concrete porosity will affects the strength and performance of the concrete. It is believed that, with an additional curing, the porosity of the concrete becomes lower and the strength will increase.

Nutritional and sensory characteristics of local and hybrid East African Highland cooking bananas: Implications for breeding programs

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bananas (Musa species) are an important staple food and cash crop in many parts of the world. The East African Highland cooking bananas form the backbone of food security for millions of Ugandans. The demand for high quality cooking bananas is thus closely linked to their sensory characteristics (which drive consumer preference) and
