Abstract: The pyrolysis of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the principal component of plastics in municipal solid waste, was studied in the thermal gravimetric analysis reaction system containing hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas. The ...

Abstract: The authors studied the solid-phase composition and morphology, pore structure, damage, and deterioration of microstructure, and nano-mechanical properties of cementitious materials in accelerated carbonation reaction. The ...

Abstract: Ongoing investigations are exploring the biomechanical properties of isolated and suspended biological cells in pursuit of understanding single-cell mechanobiology. An optical tweezer with minimal ...

Abstract: Multiscale technology and advanced mathematical models have been developed to control and characterize physicochemical interactions, respectively, enhancing cellular and molecular engineering progress. ...

Abstract: Carbonation problems relating to concrete durability cannot correspond to the real engineering service environment, because the degradation of concrete properties is actually affected by load and multiple environment factors ...

Abstract: In order to study the running state of the traffic flow that occurred at urban tunnel access, the urban tunnel traffic flow was taken as the object of the study. Then the dynamic accelerations of traffic flow in Xuanwu ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental and analytical results of a new composite girder that consists of a steel girder and hybrid fiber–reinforced concrete (HFRC) slab. First, six push-out tests were performed, and the test ...

Abstract: In frozen soil engineering, the foundations of structures are particularly susceptible to uneven settlement and cracking due to changes in external temperature and load, posing threats to the safety of structures and ...
