The Determination of Surface Hardness of Ready- Mixed Concrete Applications in Edirne by Use Of [PDF]
Within this study, the applications of ready-mixed concrete in Edirne are examined in terms of surface hardness and compressive strength. The measurements, done on the load-bearing elements of buildings with schmidt hammer, are then analysed in ...

Drivers of Scope 3 Emissions Disclosure Quality—CDP Analysis
ABSTRACT Scope 3 emissions account for a significant portion of a supply chain's carbon footprint, yet very little research explores the key drivers of high‐quality Scope 3 disclosures. Additionally, while climate governance is a vital part of both improving carbon performance and ensuring corporate accountability, its broader impact on disclosure ...

Correlation Between Cerchar Abrasivity Index with Rock Properties in Sandstone and Tuff Samples [PDF]
The abrasivity of materials is of vital importance in selecting an affordable excavation method in the early stages of a tunneling project. The amount of specific energy and the Mode I and Mode II stress intensity factors in the eroded disc is more than ...

USING THE SCHMIDT HAMMER TO IMPROVE THE FORECASTING ACCURACY OF THE ROCKFALL ACTIVITY INDEX (RAI)
The Schmidt hammer is a widely used and inexpensive instrument for estimating rock strength either in the lab or in the field. Our research team tested the accuracy and repeatability of the Schmidt hammer to estimate rock strength on six Alaskan rock ...

Suggestion of New Formulations for Schmidt Hammer and UPV Test Methods for Concrete [PDF]
The concrete is the most widely used building material in Turkey. Especially reinforced concrete dominates at building sector. Because of concrete is an non-homogeneous and non-isotropic material, the strength of concrete cannot be accurately achieved at

Consumer Adoption of Internet of Things
ABSTRACT The Internet of Things (IoT), a pivotal technology in enhancing user connectivity, faces a paradox: its widespread potential yet limited consumer adoption. This study addresses this dichotomy by synthesizing a large‐scale meta‐analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) and hierarchical linear meta‐analysis (HiLMA) of 2736 effect sizes from ...

Schmidt hammer exposure dating for brick masonry
This research investigates the validity of the Schmidt hammer exposure dating (SHED) technique as a complementary means to date monuments according to the evaluation of the brick decay from masonry exposed to climatic conditions. The degree of surface weathering, I<sub>5</sub> (%) is calculated as an indicator of the ageing effect and ...

This study systematically investigates the fracture development mechanisms of water‐isolating soil layers under the coupled effects of repeated mining and groundwater seepage during the downward mining of shallow‐buried coal seams. The findings provide a theoretical basis for evaluating stratum stability and preventing roof water inrush.
