Restrained Shrinkage of Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Concrete and Analysis of Long Term Shrinkage Prediction Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The research presented in this manuscript describes the procedure to quantify the restrained shrinkage of geopolymer concrete (GPC) using ring specimen. Massive concrete structures are susceptible to shrinkage and thermal cracking.

Temporal Changes in Strain Condition on All Lateral Surfaces during Pretreatment before Timber Drying

open access: yesBioResources, 2023
Wood drying, such as boxed-heart square timber, often involves surface checks, which spoils the appearance of wood products and reduces their market value.

Shape correction factor for drying shrinkage in a concrete cross-section [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A concrete member is subjected to loads for a long period of time, during which creep and shrinkage of concrete develop gradually. The prediction of this time-dependent behaviour is important as it may cause serious serviceability problems in concrete ...

On-sample water content measurement for a complete local monitoring in triaxial testing of unsaturated soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
To provide a complete local monitoring of the state of an unsaturated soil sample during triaxial testing, a local water content measurement device was adapted to a triaxial device comprising the measurement of local displacements (Hall effect ...

Experimental Research on Compression Properties of Cement Asphalt Mortar due to Drying and Wetting Cycle

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2014
Uniaxial compression test of cement asphalt (CA) mortar specimens, due to drying and wetting cycle of 0, 2, 4 and 8 times, is carried out by using the electronic universal test machine, with the strain rate ranging from 1 × 10−5 s−1 to 1 × 10−2 s−1.

Mechanical properties of castor beans subject to different drying temperatures aiming to disrupt the bean coat [PDF]

open access: yesEngenharia Agrícola, 2014
In castor oil extraction process, the bean coat is abrasive to the equipment and releases substances that modify the oil color, reducing its quality. A potential solution would be to run the extraction by compressing only the endosperm.

Stiction of surface micromachined structures after rinsing and drying: model and investigation of adhesion mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The mechanisms causing stiction of polysilicon structures fabricated by surface micromachining techniques have been investigated. It is found that during drying from rinse liquids attractive dynamic capillary forces are responsible for bringing ...

Experimental Study on Mechanical Properties and Deterioration Mechanism of Red Sandstone from the Panjiatuo Landslide under Action of Acidic Drying−Wetting Cycles

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Due to frequent water level fluctuations and complex hydrochemical environments, rock slopes in reservoir areas progressively deteriorate and become unstable.

Evolving fracture patterns: columnar joints, mud cracks, and polygonal terrain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
When cracks form in a thin contracting layer, they sequentially break the layer into smaller and smaller pieces. A rectilinear crack pattern encodes information about the order of crack formation, as later cracks tend to intersect with earlier cracks at ...
