Effect of absorption on active pressure in floury soil
(Pleiades Publishing Inc, Moscow, 2015)
Retaining walls are often built in unsaturated soil at shallow depth above groundwater level. It is critical to define active pressure in unsaturated soil for designing retaining walls, based on the expanded theory of ...
Application of Results of Nondestructive Testing Methods in the Investigation of Microstructure of Refractory Concretes
(ASCE - American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)
The aim of this investigation is to establish the correlation between concrete porosity, compressive mechanical strength, and microstructure using the results of nondestructive testing methods, i.e., ultrasonic pulse ...
Determination of the optimal drying condition during drying of green masonry products
(ModTech Publishing House, 2012)
Explanation of the drying process is reduced to the establishment of a series theoretical and empirical drying models. Complex processes of simultaneous mass and energy transfer, which are often non-stationary and the ...
Compressive Strength Improvements of Cement-Based Composites Achieved with Additional Milling of Metakaolin
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
Kaolin from a Serbian deposit, having a high content of mica and quartz, disordered kaolinite and a high specific surface area, was used to prepare metakaolin (MK). The calcination at temperatures of 700 degrees C or 750 ...
Properties of the Cement-Based Composites with High Content of Metakaolin
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
Environmental concerns and sustainable development require increased replacement of cement. Most of previous studies have shown that the compressive strength of cement-based composites is maximized with a 20% content of ...
Influence of modifying methods on quality of eutectic and hypereutectic silumine for diesel engine pistons
(Maney Publishing, Leeds, 2013)
The results of the investigation of the influence of different modifiers (sodium, phosphorus, antimony and strontium) on the quality of AlSi12CuMgNi and AlSi18CuMgNi alloys, which are used for the production of pistons, ...
