Abstract: Pseudoductile cementitious composite (PDCC) is an effective and durable repair material for concrete structures. Silane is commonly used to enhance the resistance of concrete to water and chemical penetration. By combining ...

Abstract: The durability of concrete structures is strongly affected by the ease of water and ion penetration. Polymeric surface treatment with epoxy and silane are commonly used to provide a barrier to the ingress of water and ions. ...

Abstract: Climate modeling and prediction require that the parameterization of the radiative effects of ice clouds be as accurate as possible. The radiative properties of ice clouds are highly sensitive to the single-scattering ...

Abstract: This study surveys the optical and microphysical properties of high (ice) clouds over the Tropics (30°S?30°N) over a 3-yr period from September 2002 through August 2005. The analyses are based on the gridded level-3 cloud ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the assessment of the current state of knowledge, areas of uncertainties, and recommendations for future efforts, regarding the optical and radiative properties of contrails and contrail cirrus, which ...

Abstract: Abstract Ice cloud particles exhibit a range of shapes and sizes affecting a cloud?s single-scattering properties. Because they cannot be inferred from passive visible/infrared imager measurements, assumptions about the ...
