Proposed Behavioral Model for Deicer Scaling Resistance of Slag Cement Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study was performed to define and evaluate specific mechanisms that control deicer scaling (freeze-thaw) resistance in slag cement concrete. Modified ASTM C672 procedures were used to measure the deicer scaling ...
Numerical Modeling of Saline Intrusion in Salar de Atacama
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of numerical simulations of groundwater circulation and solute transport at the Salar de Atacama through use of a numerical model to solve the two-dimensional problem of flow in an aquifer ...
New Chemical Reactivity Index to Assess Alkali–Silica Reactivity
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Despite the awareness of the alkali–silica reaction (ASR) since 1940, the need for an efficient and reliable method of evaluating the potential reactivity of aggregates for use in concrete still exists. Current standards ...
Combination of Alkali Threshold of Aggregates and Alkali Loading of Concrete as Predictive Tool of Alkali–Silica Reactivity in the Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new protocol to predict the likelihood that concrete develops alkali–silica reaction in the field is presented. This protocol, based on the relationship between the alkali threshold of the aggregate combination and the ...
Effects of Coarse Aggregate Coatings on Concrete Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is evidence that the presence of certain microfine coatings
Biomimetic Treatments on Dental Implants for Immediate Loading Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) dental implants have been widely and successfully used with high rates of clinical success in normal situations. However, there is still a lack of reliable ...
