Book Synopsis Self-Healing Composites by : Guoqiang Li
Download or read book Self-Healing Composites written by Guoqiang Li and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the self-healing of composite structures with shape memory polymer as either matrix or embedded suture is systematically discussed. Self-healing has been well known in biological systems for many years: a typical example is the self-healing of human skin. Whilst a minor wound can be self-closed by blood clotting, a deep and wide cut needs external help by suturing. Inspired by this observation, this book proposes a two-step close-then-heal (CTH) scheme for healing wide-opened cracks in composite structures–by constrained shape recovery first, followed by molecular healing. It is demonstrated that the CTH scheme can heal wide-opened structural cracks repeatedly, efficiently, timely, and molecularly. It is believed that self-healing represents the next-generation technology and will become an engineering reality in the near future. The book consists of both fundamental background and practical skills for implementing the CTH scheme, with additional focus on understanding strain memory versus stress memory and healing efficiency evaluation under various fracture modes. Potential applications to civil engineering structures, including sealant for bridge decks and concrete pavements, and rutting resistant asphalt pavements, are also explored. This book will help readers to understand this emerging field, and to establish a framework for new innovation in this direction. Key features: explores potential applications of shape memory polymers in civil engineering structures, which is believed to be unique within the literature balanced testing and mathematical modeling, useful for both academic researchers and practitioners the self-healing scheme is based on physical change of polymers and is written in an easy to understand style for engineering professionals without a strong background in chemistry

This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masonry construction continues to predominate in U.S. military construction and other sectors, but there has been little improvement in masonry structural technology for several decades. Without improvements in materials and productivity, the cost of masonry construction will significantly increase. To help keep masonry construction affordable, the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (USACERL) initiated a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the University of Nebraska Center for Infrastructure Research to develop a lightweight high-strength concrete masonry unit (CMU). The objective of this research was to merge high-strength concrete and lightweight concrete technologies to produce a high-performance lightweight CMU up to 50 percent lighter than normal-weight units while maintaining or improving structural characteristics. The work produced a new type of high-strength lightweight CMU that can be manufactured using industry-standard equipment and meets or exceeds all performance-based requirements for block masonry. Using expanded shale aggregates and an optimized unit shape as the primary innovative components, the high-performance lightweight CMUs weigh about 8.6 kg and have average net compressive strength of 4000 lb/in. 2 The minimum void gradation of the expanded shale was modified to provide high strength, good durability, and a smooth, uniform texture. Details on mix design and optimized block shape are provided.

Download or read book Construction Productivity Advancement Research (CPAR) Program. Investigation of Modified Sulfur Concrete as a Structural Material written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial applications of modified sulfur concrete (MSC) have been extremely successful in areas of high corrosive activity such as load-bearing floors, walls, and sumps of chemical plants. However, there have been no research and development efforts involving the use of this high-strength, corrosion-resistant material in the very demanding structural component field. Designers require extensive structural test results to establish the confidence necessary to specify MSC as a structural material in any major structure. The objective of this study was to determine the applicability of MSC to the construction and repair of structural components and load bearing surfaces. A series of tests were conducted on MSC to determine mechanical properties important to structural design, freezing-and-thawing performance data, bonding of MSC to portland-cement concrete (PCC), and a series of limited reinforced MSC beam tests to compare with PCC structural design criteria. In general, MSC behaves similarly to a PCC with a comparable compressive strength. The modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio of MSC are comparable in magnitude to that of a PCC of comparable strength. Beam tests indicate that MSC appears to conform to the basic assumptions of reinforced concrete beam design including the formation of an effective moment-resisting couple. The ductility of MSC in the postyield regime, however, has not been determined in these tests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research investigated a new concept that uses fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite grid to reinforce concrete structural members. Prefabricated two- and three-dimensional FRP grid structures were investigated as a possible alternative to conventional one-dimensional steel reinforcement rods. Currently available commercial grid manufacturing techniques were found to be inadequate due to material flaws, poor fiber volume fraction, and low strength and stiffness. Through laboratory investigations, significant improvements in fiber volume fraction in orthogrid and isogrid systems were achieved. Laboratory-scale samples demonstrated excellent results under loading tests. Concurrent investigations showed that although the FRP grid-reinforced concrete is more flexible than steel-reinforced concrete, its post failure deformation was pseudo-ductile, characterized by continuous structural deformation through multiple low-level brittle failures before the onset of catastrophic failure. It was also found that a combined concrete/composite reinforcement structure, with a higher volume of FRP composite fraction in the concrete, would substantially increase stiffness, load capacity, and postfailure concrete containmenL This study addressed not only the possible replacement of steel reinforcement with composite grids, but also investigated enhancement of the composite application through load-sharing with steel reinforcement in a complementary fashion. Various manufacturing improvements also were explored, including the novel use of disposable toolings.
