Mathematical Modelling of Heat and Mass Transfer during Jackfruit Drying Considering Shrinkage

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Shrinkage is an obvious phenomenon that occurs when drying plant-based food materials, and it has a crucial influence on heat–mass transfer mechanisms, energy consumption in drying, and dried product quality.

Effect of calcium stearate and aluminum powder on free and restrained drying shrinkage, crack characteristic and mechanical properties of concrete

open access: yesCement & Concrete Composites, 2022
Shrinkage is the volume change of concrete without influence of external forces. Drying shrinkage, which occurs after the concrete hardening, is one of the most important causes of the cracking in concrete members.

Comparison of shrinkage and mass change of hardened cement paste under gradual drying and rapid drying

open access: yesCement, 2022
To identify the impact of drying rate on mechanisms of drying shrinkage, two hardened cement paste (hcp) samples were prepared. Mature samples were dried directly at the target relative humidity (RH), “rapid drying”, or at RH decreasing from 95% step by ...

Relative Humidity and Drying Shrinkage Performance of Cement Stabilized Macadam Incorporating 0~2.36 mm Recycled Fine Aggregate

open access: yesTaiyuan Ligong Daxue xuebao, 2022
In order to improve the application of recycled fine aggregate (RFA) with a particle size of 0~2.36 mm in cement stabilized macadam (CSM) base, 12 groups of CSM specimens with different cement content and 0~2.36 mm RFA content were designed, in ...

Modeling the drying shrinkage of structural concretes

open access: yesInnovative Infrastructure Solutions, 2021
Shrinkage in hydraulic materials is a complex time-dependent process. For standard concretes, one of the most considerable parts of shrinkage is drying shrinkage. In fact, to predict deformations of concrete due to shrinkage, various predictive models have been developed; most of them use many numbers of factors that can affect shrinkage such as ...

Study on relative shrinkage of cement-based micro-concrete for durable concrete repair

open access: yesCleaner Engineering and Technology, 2022
This paper presents the investigation into the crack formation in micro-concrete due to their bond strength and drying shrinkage under normal and accelerated drying conditions at the interface between the substrate and micro concrete in a concrete repair.
