Brazilian tests on layered carbonaceous slate under water-rock interaction and weathering
The physical-mechanical properties of transversely isotropic layered slates may be degraded due to water-rock interaction (WRI) and natural weathering, which potentially leads to the instability or collapse of tunnels, slopes and mining.

Evaluation of the Physical and Adhesive Properties of Natural Weathering Asphalt
Asphalt suffers from a series of aging processes in the natural environment. This is a significant factor in asphalt pavement diseases. Research of the properties of the decay processes in the natural weathering of asphalt will be helpful in ...

The Effects of Natural Weathering on Color Stability of Impregnated and Varnished Wood Materials
The aim of this study was to investigate effects of natural weathering on color stability of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis L.) impregnated with some chemicals [tanalith-E (TN-E), adolit-KD5 (AD-KD5), and chromated ...

Performance of Spray-Dried Nanofibrillated Cellulose as Wood Varnish Reinforcement in Outdoor Environment [PDF]
The outdoor use of wood can be improved by coating the wood surface with varnish to reduce the effects of natural weathering. However, some varnishes quickly lose their ability to protect wood, and nanoscale additives have been used to mitigate this ...
