Durability Estimation of Porous Building Stones From Pore Structure and Strength

Engineering Geology, 2004
The influence of both pore structure and strength on the estimation of stone durability is evaluated. Salt crystallisation may limit the durability of porous building stones because it can be considered as one of the most powerful weathering agents. Salt

Durables, Non-Durables, and a Structural Test of Fungibility

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
In his 1999 summary of all things mental accounting (see Thaler [21]), Richard Thaler describes one of the primary components of mental accounting as the budgeting of specific utility-providing activities which can depend, but does not have to, on the resources used to fund those activities. The analysis presented in this paper focusses specifically on

Durability of Structural Elements and Structures

2010
Strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) have a great potential for the application in structures exposed to severe mechanical or environmental loading. This chapter summarises the current knowledge on the durability of the composite components as well as steel reinforcement when used in combination with SHCC.

Market Structure and the Durability of Goods

The Review of Economic Studies, 1983
A basic proposition in microeconomics is that a monopolist tends to produce less output than would be produced by a competitive industry. With this proposition in mind, it is tempting to suggest that monopolistic producers of durable goods will produce goods with less durability than would be produced by a competitive industry.

Durability of Concrete Structures

2015
Irreversible changes can occur to concrete structures due to combined environmental and service loads. This is caused by complex physical and chemical actions in addition to direct mechanical loads.

Durability of aircraft structures

1987
In this chapter durability is defined as a quantitative measure of an airframe’s resistance to fatigue cracking under specified service conditions. Structural durability is normally concerned with relatively small subcritical crack sizes which affect functional impairment (i.e., fuel leakage, ligament breakage, loss of cabin pressure, etc.), structural

Pozzolanic additions for durability of concrete structures

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 2011
Pozzolanic additions, used for partial replacement of Portland cement clinker, can improve the strength and durability of concrete structures. Most of pozzolanas used nowadays are residues of industrial processes and their use in concrete technology has the added advantage of improving the sustainability of the cement and concrete industries. For this

Durability of FRP rods for concrete structures

Construction and Building Materials, 2004
Over the last two decades fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rods have emerged as one of the most promising and affordable solutions to the corrosion problems of steel reinforcement in structural concrete. The application of FRP rods in new or damaged structures requires the development of design equations that must take into account the mechanical ...
