Deterioration of Concrete in Ambient Marine Environment (RESEARCH NOTE)
Structural concrete exposed to marine environment deserves special attention as the diffused sea salts chemically react with harden cement matrix and forms various expansive/leachable compounds leading to loss of material, strength, cracking, spalling etc. This study cover the effect of sea water on the specimens cast from two grades of concrete exposed to simulated marine environment over a ye...
متن کاملLight in shallow waters: A brief research review
Until recently, optical processes in shallow water, where a large portion of solar photons penetrate to the ocean floor, has received little attention outside of a relatively small number of modeling and remote sensing investigations. In the open ocean, scales of variability in relation to optical attenuation length often permit the treatment of the inwater light field as a one-dimensional, dep...
متن کاملCentre for Social Science Research Predicting the Social Consequences of Orphanhood in South Africa
This paper examines and questions the predictions found in the academic and policy literature of social breakdown in Southern Africa in the wake of anticipated high rates of orphanhood caused by the AIDS epidemic. Analysis of the logic underlying these predictions reveals four causal relationships necessary to fulfil such dramatic and apocalyptic predictions: 1. High AIDS mortality rates will p...
متن کاملCan South Africa Afford to Become Africas First Welfare State?
This paper assesses the economy-wide impact of implementing and financing a universal or basic income grant (BIG) in South Africa. The various financing scenarios suggested by the proponents of the grant are presented, and these are compared using an applied general equilibrium model for the South African economy. The results indicate that the required changes in direct and indirect tax rates n...
متن کاملPetascale Research in Earthquake System Science on Blue Waters (PressOn)
Broader Impacts. The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) conducts a broad program of earthquake system science that seeks to develop a predictive understanding of earthquake processes with a practical mission aimed at providing society with improved understanding of seismic hazards. In partnership with earthquake engineers, SCEC researchers are developing the ability to conduct end-to-...
