Pre‐failure behavior of continuous post‐tensioned and post‐grouted beam in case of tendon failure

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted tendons are a common solution for long‐span bridge structures. The grout provides bond and corrosion protection for prestressing steel. However, if the grouting is defective, corrosion of the prestressing steel may initiate and eventually lead to tendon failure.

Practical aspects of the use of phosphate binding materials in refractory mixtures, mortars and putties [PDF]

open access: yes
Phosphate binders, particularly acidic phosphates of Al and Cr, are used for binding Al silicate refractories used for lining of burners, SiC refractories, and refractory mortars. The binders have apparent d.

TRM‐to‐concrete interface bond without anchors: Combined experimental, analytical, and numerical modeling approach

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) systems have emerged as an effective alternative to conventional FRP strengthening solutions due to their compatibility with concrete substrates and favorable performance under adverse environmental conditions.

The Ammann–Kramer–Neri tiling model of a P‐ZnMgEr Bergman‐type quasicrystal based on in‐house X‐ray diffraction

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section B, EarlyView.
A structural solution is presented of a primitive icosahedral ZnMgEr quasicrystal representing the Bergman‐type family. The structure model is based on atomic decoration of the Ammann–Kramer–Neri tiling.This study presents the atomic structure solution of a primitive icosahedral Zn70.83Mg20.31Er8.86 quasicrystal using in‐house X‐ray diffraction and the

Necromass chemistry drives the functional diversity of the necrobiome, resulting in microbe–organic matter feedbacks

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In temperate European forests, soil fungal communities, dominated by saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species, represent almost 25% of soil organic carbon (C) in the soil.

Circular Economy Capabilities for Slowing Resource Loops at Small Businesses in China, Finland and Japan – An Institutional Logics Perspective

open access: yesBritish Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing circular economy (CE) research has primarily explored capabilities for the principle of closing resource loops (recycle and recover) in limited institutional contexts. However, little is known about the capabilities for the principle of slowing resource loops (reduce and reuse), despite its alignment towards achieving net zero ...

How clayey fines in aggregates influence the properties of lime mortars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Despite the fact that the maximum content of fines in aggregates is restricted in national and international standards, the use of unwashed sands in restoration mortars is often demanded by restorers due to their colouring properties. The colour of these

Dry mixes for the restoration: basic principles of design

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
To ensure compliance with historic solutions as the primary binder of dry mixes for the restoration is air lime. To date, almost all of the advantages and disadvantages of the lime-based mortars are known, and this allows implementing a scientific ...
