The aim of this research was to study the effect of various water-to-cement ratio on the properties of pervious concrete. Tests were carried out to find the optimum water-to-cement ratio that gives a high compressive strength with acceptable permeability. The tests of fresh density, compressive strength at 7days, porosity and water permeability for four mixes of pervious concrete with various w...

background: some coincidental disorders with migraine have been introduced that may have role in its pathogenesis or aggravation. in this study we determined the relative frequency of hyperlipidemia as a coincidental disorder in patients affected by migraine. methods: a total of 102 migraine-affected patients according to international headache society (his) criteria and 103 control subjects ad...

It is well known that the characteristics of concrete components greatly affect the durability of high strength/high performance (HS/HP) concrete against frost action. Undoubtedly, precise recognition of this relationship leads &#10to appropriate selection of the type and proportions of concrete components in any particular project. In the current study, the aim is to investigate the possibilit...

My research activity so far seems to lie in two main areas, which I have called noncommutative algebra and concrete mathematics for the purposes of this summary. The following contains a description of past research and a discussion of topics on which (at date of writing) I think I would work in the next few years, if I were on a desert island (with a reasonable library). Of course, things have...

Elevated rail transit has been developed in some big cities in China in recent years. However, specialized codes for design of the bridges in the elevated rail transit system have not yet been established. Based on the prestressed concrete (PC) box girder bridges on Guangzhou metro line 4, some technical features of design principle and technology requisition, ensemble plan and design load of b...

The chloride corrosion of reinforcing steel in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is a significant reason for premature deterioration and failure of RC structures in aggressive environments such as Persian Gulf region. This is one of the most important sources of engineering and economic problems in developed countries. So, the repair and maintenance of RC structures exposed to corrosive envir...

Self-compacting concrete is a new high performance concrete with high ductility and segregation resistance. In recent years, construction material manufacturers have focused their attention on lightweight concrete and have strived to use lightweight concrete, if possible, in load-bearing parts of buildings. Concrete with both self-compacting and lightweight properties is favourable in this cont...

This research investigates the possibility of using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic waste to improve properties asphalt concrete pavement. HDPE contents 1, 3, 5, and 7% by aggregate weight were used. waste=stabilized pavement (HDPE-ACP) was evaluated performance testing for stability, indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus (MR), fatigue (ITF). In addition, microstructure, age, CO...
