It is common perception that fiber reinforced concretes (FRCs) are prone to internal and external deterioration due to presence of fibers. This is the reason that construction industry is reluctant to use FRC despite of having large number of advantages.

The dissolution of naturally weathered feldspar and quartz
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1994Surface area measurements and dissolution experiments were performed on subsamples from a naturally weathered mineral assemblage (100–1000 μm) consisting of feldspar and quartz. The subsamples were obtained by splitting the assemblage into four different ranges of grain density, each of which was sieved to three different size fractions.

The final test of a paint is its performance under actual conditions of use. For exterior paints, this means on the walls of buildings, railway cars, highway vehicles, ships, and the like. Such tests are expensive and time consuming. Hence, there has developed the practice of conducting tests on a small scale. These screening tests allow studies of the

Natural Textures for Weather Data Visualization
Tenth International Conference on Information Visualisation (IV'06), 2006In this paper we present a novel method to visualize weather data with multi-layer controllable texture synthesis. Texture possesses multiple principal perceptual channels, which makes it good at encoding multiple data attributes contained in weather data. The natural textures existed in the real world especially provide plenty of choices to encode the

Natural weathering of sixteen wood species: Changes on surface properties
, 2020In this study, natural weathering behavior of sixteen different wood species was investigated under the same conditions in order to clarify the resistance against outdoor degrading agents regarding wood color, gloss, surface roughness and surface ...

Weathering indicator for artificial and natural weathering of wood coatings
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products, 2014The aim of the present study was to find and develop a sensor to evaluate the weathering rates of wood coatings during natural and artificial weathering using a material of known and controlled rate of decomposition. This was achieved by the use of a coating based on poly (vinyl acetate) copolymer binder in combination with Fe2+ as redox catalyst.

Weathering and weathering rates of natural stone
Environmental Geology and Water Sciences, 1987Physical and chemical weathering were studied as separate processes in the past. Recent research, however, shows that most processes are physicochemical in nature. The rates at which calcite and silica weather by dissolution are dependent on the regional and local climatic environment.

Spontaneous weathering of natural minerals in charged water microdroplets forms nanomaterials
ScienceIn this work, we show that particles of common minerals break down spontaneously to form nanoparticles in charged water microdroplets within milliseconds. We transformed micron-sized natural minerals like quartz and ruby into 5- to 10-nanometer particles

Composites Part B: Engineering, 2019
The Babool, Sheesham, Mango, and Mahogany trees are commonly found in India. The wood-plastic composites (WPCs) were prepared by injection molding using wood dust of the selected Indian trees as the reinforcements in the polypropylene matrix.
