Book Synopsis Brittle Matrix Composites by : Nghi L.B. Le
Download or read book Brittle Matrix Composites written by Nghi L.B. Le and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portland cement (PC) production contributes by about 6% to global emissions of C02. Reduction of the PC content in the binder exerts therefore a direct positive effect on such emissions. Partial replacement of the Portland cement by pozzolanic mineral admixtures has been proven a possible option. The green character is even reinforced by making use of incinerated vegetable waste, such as rice husk ash (RHA). Moreover, as a result of the gap-grading effect on particle packing density with RHA as the fine component, high strength concrete can be achieved with RHA-blended cement. This has been published earlier, so the paper only briefly covers these aspects. Characteristics of the capillary pores developed in the hydrating binder have direct impact on the transport-based durability properties. However, assessment of such pore characteristics of the RHA-blended cement constitutes a complicated problem, especially in experimental approaches. This paper, therefore, presents a new economic approach to conduct such investigation on the realistically produced cementitious materials in virtual reality. The fresh packed state of the paste’s particles is simulated by a discrete element modeling (DEM) system, HADES. The hydration of a (blended) cement is simulated by a so-called ‘extended integrated particle kinetics model’ (XIPKM). Pore characteristics, such as topology, location distribution, degree of percolation and fraction of main channels in the pore network, are explored by a new modern approach named ‘double random multi-tree structuring’ (DraMuTS). The size distribution of throats that significantly limit the transport in the pore network system is derived from star volume measurements. Four examples of plain PC and of RHA-blended PC with two w/b ratios are presented. The expected positive effects on transport-based durability issues due to RHA-blending are discussed.

Book Synopsis Concrete at High Temperatures by : Zdeněk P. Bažant
Download or read book Concrete at High Temperatures written by Zdeněk P. Bažant and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1996 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increased use of concrete in high temperature environments, it is essential for engineers to have a knowledge of the properties and mathematical modelling of concrete in such extreme conditions. Bringing together, for the first time, vast amounts of data previously scattered throughout numerous papers and periodicals, this book provides, in two parts, a comprehensive and systematic review of both the properties and the mathematical modelling of concrete at high temperatures. Part I provides a comprehensive description of the material properties of concrete at high temperatures. Assuming only a basic knowledge of mathematics, the information is presented at an elementary level suitable for graduates of civil engineering or materials science. Part II describes the response of concrete to high temperatures in precise terms based on mathematical modelling of physical processes. Suitable for advanced graduate students, researchers and specialists, it presents detailed mathematical models of phenomena such as heat transfer, moisture diffusion, creep, volume changes, cracking and fracture. Concrete at High Temperatures will prove a valuable reference source to university researchers and graduate students in civil engineering and materials science, engineers in research laboratories, and practising engineers concerned with fire resistance, concrete structures for nuclear reactors and chemical technology vessels.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Alkali-Activated Cements, Mortars and Concretes by : F. Pacheco-Torgal
Download or read book Handbook of Alkali-Activated Cements, Mortars and Concretes written by F. Pacheco-Torgal and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 855 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an updated state-of-the-art review on new developments in alkali-activation. The main binder of concrete, Portland cement, represents almost 80% of the total CO2 emissions of concrete which are about 6 to 7% of the Planet's total CO2 emissions. This is particularly serious in the current context of climate change and it could get even worse because the demand for Portland cement is expected to increase by almost 200% by 2050 from 2010 levels, reaching 6000 million tons/year. Alkali-activated binders represent an alternative to Portland cement having higher durability and a lower CO2 footprint. - Reviews the chemistry, mix design, manufacture and properties of alkali-activated cement-based concrete binders - Considers performance in adverse environmental conditions. - Offers equal emphasis on the science behind the technology and its use in civil engineering.
Book Synopsis Concrete in the Service of Mankind by : Ravindra Dhir
Download or read book Concrete in the Service of Mankind written by Ravindra Dhir and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1996-06-13 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concrete is ubiquitous and unique, found in every developed and developing country. Indeed, there are no alternatives to concrete as a volume construction material for infrastructure. This raises important questions of how concrete should be designed and constructed for cost effective use in the the short and long term, and to encourage further radical development. Equally, it must be environmentally friendly during manufacture, in an aesthetic presentation in structures and in the containment of harmful materials. The central theme of the Congress is Concrete in the Service of Mankind, under which five self-contained Conferences, each dealing with a particular aspect, are planned. The Congress offers opportunity to discuss how to improve and extend this service to mankind using responsible exploitation, underwritten by sound technical understanding and research base. It brings together the shared skills and experience of the various disciplines involved in the construction process world wide. This major publication continues the tradition established by Dundee University of organizing major international conferences every three years dealing with some aspect of concrete and also the link between Spon and Dundee University for publication of the proceedings. This book should be of interest to concrete technologists; contractors; civil engineers; consultants; government agencies; research organizations.
