Abstract: This study investigated the transport properties of cement mortar using microscale X-ray computed tomography (μCT) characterization techniques, the Permeability Solver computational program, and laboratory experiments. ...

Abstract: The compaction quality of the compacted layer is a major concern of roller compacted concrete (RCC). Current compaction quality evaluation methods, such as testing random sampling spots or predicting with common models, ...

Abstract: Although basalt fiber (BF) has been used to reinforce cement composite as an eco-friendly material, its effect on basalt fiber–reinforced cement composite (BFRCC) is contradictory. BF was found to be corroded by a pore ...

Abstract: A smart material–based active external trailing-edge flap was designed for wind turbine blades in this study. Its vibration-fatigue load reduction potential was evaluated during normal operation. The blade–external flap ...

Abstract: Leakage may occur during pressure tests of gas pipelines. Locating the position of leakage followed by immediate repair work becomes very important. On the basis of both the theory of natural gas pipeline transportation ...
