Concrete is a material whose properties depend on its initial formulation, conditions of use, and change over time depending environment the different types degradation that it likely to undergo. Knowledge monitoring various mechanical are therefore essential for maintenance civil engineering works. All concrete assessment methods, whether destructive or non-destructive, can then provide valuab...

Gd2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by a two–step process; cathodic electrodeposition followed by heat-treatment method. First, Gd(OH)3 nanoparticles was galvanostatically deposited from nitrate bath on the steel substrate by pulse current (PC) mode. The deposition experiments was conducted at a typical on-time and off-time (ton=1ms and toff=1ms) for 60 min. The electrodeposited precursor was the...
