Ultra-High Performance Concrete Overlays for Concrete Bridge Decks
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 With much of the world's infrastructure needing rehabilitation, new and more effective methods of repair are required to ensure that concrete structures can continue to perform adequately. This work investigates the potential for using locally produced ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as an overlay material to rehabilitate existing normal ...

How dense can one pack spheres of arbitrary size distribution?
, 2012 We present the first systematic algorithm to estimate the maximum packing density of spheres when the grain sizes are drawn from an arbitrary size distribution. With an Apollonian filling rule, we implement our technique for disks in 2d and spheres in 3d.
