abstract in aggregate, active forms of reactive silica with mineral names are sometimes associated with sand and gravel in concrete mixture. alkali hydroxides originated from alkalis in the cement or other resources form an alkaline silica gel with this reactive silica which becomes swallowed and expanded during time causing damage to concrete. there have been growing researches on alkaline r...

Propellants are decomposed slowly during storage. So each propellant has useful life time which more than that time propellant is not safe and cannot used. Tracing of propellant stabilizer consumption is one of the important methods for determination of storage life time period of a propellant. In this article by accelerated aging on a double-base propellant and then chemical extraction of stab...
