CFD Simulation of Biogas Fired Clay Brick Kiln

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, 2018
More strong and quality clay bricks are obtained if and only if bricks are fired with uniform optimum temperature during clay brick firing process in the clay brick kiln. To insure this transient temperature of fluegas and brick are analyzed using CFD simulation during clay brick firing in the clay brick kiln.

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

An Overview of Sludge Utilization into Fired Clay Brick

open access: yes, 2014
Brick is one of the most common masonry units used as building material. Due to the demand, different types of waste have been investigated to be incorporated into the bricks. Many types of sludge have been incorporated in fired clay brick for example marble sludge, stone sludge, water sludge, sewage sludge, and ceramic sludge. The utilization of these

Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

The exploitation of sludge from aggregate plants in the manufacture of porous fired clay bricks

open access: yesMateriales de Construccion, 2016
Aggregates (gravel and sand) are, after water, the Earth’s second most used natural resource, representing about 50% of all consumed mineral resources. Aggregate production generates a large quantity of waste from the aggregate washing process.

Firing Optimization of Clay Bricks

open access: yes, 2008
It is shown how the optimum firing conditions of clay bricks subjected to different degrees of firing can be estimated by plotting the specific surface area against the saturation coefficient of bricks.

The Canary Down the Coalmine: Dagenham, London and Labour Politics

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract The history of Dagenham offers unique insights into both the changing composition of the working class and the forces that have reshaped domestic politics throughout the last 100 years, particularly the politics of the British labour movement.
