Investigation of effect of size and content of nano/SiO2 on the strength and durability of RCC in freezing-thawing cycles [PDF]
RCC remains a widely used construction material over the last decade. RCC is placed in a manner similar to paving; the material is delivered by dump trucks or conveyors, spread by small bulldozers or specially modified asphalt pavers, and then compacted ...

Modelling heat exchange between RCC dam and reservoir [PDF]
Temperature control plays an important role in the design and construction of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) dams. Hydration of cement and climatic changes on the convective boundaries are the two main heat sources of the temperature rise in RCC dams.

Optimal placement of smart sensors for RCC dams structural health monitoring using Monte- Carlo [PDF]
Building RCC dams involves pouring and compacting concrete in small layers (30 cm), one on top of another, creating a joint between each layer. This joint could potentially become the “ideal” joint depending on the temperature and lag time between each ...

Global isoform-specific transcript alterations and deregulated networks in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. [PDF]
Extensive genome-wide analyses of deregulated gene expression have now been performed for many types of cancer. However, most studies have focused on deregulation at the gene-level, which may overlook the alterations of specific transcripts for a given ...

A Case Study On Zoning And Construction Of Roller-Compacted-Concrete Gravity Dams
In order to make full use of the concrete strength, reduce the amount of cementitious materials and simplify the temperature control measures, a roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam needs to be zoned reasonably in consideration of locations and working ...
