Concrete is in great demand due to global infrastructure expansion. Cement a critical component the production of concrete because it binds ingredients together. But primary issue arises environment release toxic gases such as CO3 and sulphur into atmosphere. To overcome this, some other cementitious materials, namely admixtures, were utilized partial replacements for cement. In this study, was...

Influence of the stacking sequences of hybrid composites on the tensile strength, flexural strength, inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS) and impact energy was investigated. The hybrid glass-basalt-carbon/polyester composite laminates were processed by hand lay-up procedure at room temperature. The fracture surface of the composite laminates after the tension and flexural test was examined by sc...

in this research, the effect of temperature on the physical and chemical behavior of nylon 66 tire cords in the range of 50-200°c and 16 h testing was studied. the results showed that heat treatment considerably reduced the breaking strength of cords. the intensity of reduction of breaking strength below 100°c and above 120°c was more pronounced than intermediate temperatures. the changes in pr...

a study has been made of the compaction properties of two experimental starches, namely yam starch obtained from dioscorea rotundata and rice starch obtained from oryza sativa and the mechanical properties of their tablets, in comparison with those of official corn starch. the influences of the physical and geometric properties of the starch particles on the compression properties of the starch...

Various chemicals can have different effects on the properties of the cement slurry. In this paper, the different effects of L-ascorbic acid have been investigated on the important parameters of cement slurry made from class G oil well cement. These parameters included the amount of free fluid, rheological properties, Thickening Time, and compressive strength. Several cement slurries were made ...

Cement-based composite materials like Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs) are applicable in the strengthening of structures because of the high tensile strength and strain. Proper mix proportion, which has the best mechanical properties, is so essential in ECC design material to use in structural components. In this paper, after finding the best mix proportion based on uniaxial tensile st...

with many years of construction and application of common concrete, researchers have always been searching for a better composition. one of the notable ideas for achieving such a composition is using recycled materials. one of the materials which is suitable for environment and constant development is damaged tires .for studying mechanical properties of concrete containing tire particles, a ser...

wood resources, non-wood plants and recycled papers are the common raw materials of papermaking. shortage of raw materials, is a challenging problem in developing pulp and paper industry. in this study, cladophora green algae was used as a new source of cellulosic fiberfor pulping and papermaking.. cladophora algae was cooked with cold soda method and then was mixed with nssc pulp at 10,20 and ...
