Membrane Action of Composite Fibre Concrete Slab in Fire

Grating-Assisted Fibre-Slab Couplers

Coupled-mode equations for an asymmetric fibre-to-planar optical coupling system, incorporated a grating structure are presented. A grating-assisted coupling coefficient is described. When the parameters of the coupler are such that there is no phase synchronism between the fibre and the slab modes, the grating enhances the coupling in both the resultant amplitude and phase modulation. However,...

Preparation of Hollow Fibre Composite Reverse Osmosis Membrane

A novel thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was developed by the interfacial polymerization (IP) of trimesoyl chloride (TMC) and m-phenylene diamine (MPD) on the hollow fibre ultrafiltration polysulphone (PS) membrane. The performance of the TFC membrane was optimized by studying the preparation parameters, which included monomer TMC concentration, monomer MPD concentration ...

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete is recent introduction in the field of concrete technology. The present day world is witnessing the construction of very challenging and difficult Civil Engineering Structures. Concrete being the most important and widely used material is called upon to possess very high strength and sufficient workability properties. Concrete the most widely used consrtuction ma...

Strength and behaviour of Fly Ash based Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Composite

This experimental investigation is to study the effects of replacement of cement (by weight) with five percentage of fly ash and the effects of addition of steel fiber composite. A control mixture of proportions 1:1:49:1.79 with w/c of 0.45 was designed. Cement was replaced with five percentages (10%, 15%, 20%, 25% & 30%) of Class C fly ash. Four percentages of steel fibers (0.15%, 0.30%, 0.45%...
