Concrete with gangue which made with ordinary Portland cement at different water binder ratio (0.35, 0.40 and 0.45) or ordinary Portland cement at water binder ratio of 0.35 incorporating 10% fly ash or 20% fly ash; 20% fly ash and 1% early strength agent, slag with the replacement of 15% or 30%, or 15% fly ash and 15% slag were made and exposed to a wetting–drying sulfate environment. The comp...

this study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of long term ageing on toughness andresilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures containing electric arc and basic oxygen furnacesteel slags. after initial evaluation of the properties of steel slags using x-ray diffraction andscanning electric microscope, eleven sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. each set wastreated replacing ...

The aim of the study was to determine the profile of isokinetic strength of elite young soccer players (n = 12, mean age 17.5 ± 1.5 years). Assessment was performed on the isokinetic dynamometer. We evaluated: maximum peak muscle torque of knee extensors (PTE) and flexors (PTF) in both legs, ipsilateral ratio of muscle torque for both preferred and non-preferred extremities (H:QP and H:QN, resp...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the alterations in eccentric evertor/concentric invertor strength ratio and their importance in the chronically unstable ankle. Eight patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and nine healthy individuals participated in this study. Isokinetic concentric and eccentric invertor and evertor muscle strength measurement was carried out at an angular velocit...

The objective of this study is to examine the compressive strength and durability of very high-volume SCM concrete. The prepared 36 concrete specimens were classified into two groups according to their designed 28-day compressive strength. For the high-volume SCM, the FA level was fixed at a weight ratio of 0.4 and the GGBS level varied between the weight ratio of 0.3 and 0.5, which resulted in...

in this paper, the accumulative channel-die compression bounding (accb) method is investigated as a new method of severe plastic deformation to produce nano-crystalline bulk metals on the basis of pressing in a channel mold. aluminum as one of the most usable metal in industry is processed using this method. analyzing the processed samples show that after four passes of accb method, the ultimat...
