recent tendencies in concrete technology have been towards to high- performance concrete with a low water-cement ratio. however, high performance concretes have some problems. one of the problems is early-age cracking due to autogenous shrinkage. this study presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the autogenous shrinkage of high-strength concrete. accordin...

In this study, the co-operation of steel and concrete in composite columns is considered. Using numerical modeling to study the behavior of these sections, a new type of sections, namely Concrete Filled Double-Skin steel Tubular (CFDST) columns, is introduced. The parameters and techniques that influence the numerical simulation that bring this modeling closer to...

The effect of dry material, glycerol and ratio of water to seed in alyssum homalocarpum films on their thickness, transparency, moisture content, tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability was investigated using mixture response surface methods. Dry material and glycerol were important factors influencing tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability. Ratio of water t...

this study experimentally investigates the effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwnt’s), as a reinforcing material, on the physical properties of heavy-weight oil well cements. a candidate well is selected and the properties of the cement slurry used in a problematic section of the well are tested in the laboratory. carbon nanotubes (cnt’s) are added as fibers to the cement slurry and the i...
