A method for determining unsaturated strength parameters in stability analysis of loess slope [PDF]
In recent years, with the rapid development of social economy and progress of human activities in loess area, the Loess Plateau become one of the areas with the most serious soil erosion and the most frequent occurrence of geological disasters in the ...

Quantitative evaluation of cement paste carbonation using Raman spectroscopy
Carbonation induced corrosion is one of the major durability issues for reinforced concrete structures. To address this issue, it is essential to understand the underlying mechanism of carbonation by detecting the ingress of the CO2 and carbonation depth

Collusion and Durability [PDF]
We develop a model to show that cartels that produce goods with lower durability are easier to sustain implicitly. This observation gen- erates the following results: 1) implicit cartels have an incentive to pro- duce goods with an inefficiently low ...

A reverse chemical ecology approach to explore wood natural durability [PDF]
The natural durability of wood species, defined as their inherent resistance to wood‐destroying agents, is a complex phenomenon depending on many biotic and abiotic factors.

Bond Stress between Steel-Reinforced Bars and Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Concrete
Geopolymer concrete has been regarded as one of the most important green construction materials, which has been restrained in engineering applications partially due to a lack of bond studies.

Monopoly Distortions in Durability and Multi-Dimensional Quality [PDF]
I show that Swan’s (1970) independence result requires a multiplicative interaction between durability and all other quality attributes. Because there is no compelling argument for a multiplicativity in quality, monopolists tend to distort durability ...

Theoretical backgrounds of durability analysis by normalized equivalent stress functionals [PDF]
Generalized durability diagrams and their properties are considered for a material under a multiaxial loading given by an arbitrary function of time. Material strength and durability under such loading are described in terms of durability, safety factor ...
