Abstract This study investigates the compressive behavior and analytical modeling of natural and rubberized concretes confined with cost-effective glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) jackets. Forty-two cylindrical spec...

Video snapshot compressive imaging is a computational imaging technique based on compressed sensing that acquires high-speed frames through a 2D compressed measurement, followed by an algorithmic reconstruction. Current ...

Abstract Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is increasingly used in modern construction because of its improved strength, durability, and versatility. This review analyses data from several research papers to evaluat...

Abstract This study explores the valorization of ceramic waste (CW) and waste tire particles in the development of eco-friendly cementitious tiles for outdoor roof shielding applications. CW, sourced from industrial bypr...

The sea sand-mud mixture used as filling material is proposed. The strength parameters and compression performance and permeability of soils are compared and analyzed through laboratory tests with different blending rati...

Geopolymers are known for its high compressive but low tensile strength due to its brittle nature, which restricts the use of geopolymers as structural material. It is important to enhance their mechanical performance by...

Objective To investigate the influence of water on the monotonic and fatigue strength of a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. Methods Ninety bar-shaped specimens (1.0 × 1.0 × 12.0 mm) were prepared from Advanced Lithium...

Preparation of the root canal system is a crucial step in root canal treatment. Endodontically treated teeth differ structurally from healthy, untreated teeth. This can lead to root cracking by creating pressure on the c...

Changsha International Finance Center, the highest building under construction in Central China, is 452 meters high with structure of 93 ground layers and 5 underground layers and an embedded foundation depth of 42 meter...

The initial moisture condition of recycled concrete aggregates has a great influence on the fresh and hardened state of concrete. Water compensation is generally proposed with the aim of avoiding changes in the effective...

ABSTRACT Wood-cement composite (WCC) is a potential construction material for tropical regions, due to its physico-mechanical properties and resistance to decay and fungi attack. However it is important to test alternati...

This study reports the fabrication and evaluation of layered scaffolds based on polylactide/polycaprolactone (PLPC) matrices for osteochondral-inspired designs. Bilayer architectures comprised a bone-facing layer with mi...

The expansive soils have the tendency to expand in wetting and to shrink in drying. The addition of cement is one of the methods to enhance the engineering properties of such soils. The effects of varying cement contents...

Abstract Cultured meat is under investigation as an environmentally sustainable substitute for conventional animal-derived meat. Employing a scaffolding technique is one approach to developing cultured meat products. The...

Abstract Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are promising for rapid concrete repair but are hindered by excessive drying shrinkage. This study evaluates the efficacy of MgO-based (MEA), CaO-based (CSEA), and calcium sulfo...

This study proposes a deep-hole directional blasting technology based on polymer energy charge packages for roof cutting and pressure relief as a solution to difficult roadway support and poor stability of coal pillars d...
