Ten years of frost testing at Sheffield Hallam University.
June 1, 2002... Abstract Climatic simulation studies have indicated that it is possible to generate frost damage in conditions which would not be considered unduly severe. Brick and mortar both play a part in the overall performance of brickwork. The...

Influence on crack development in concrete structures from imposed strains and varying boundary conditions.
June 1, 2002... Abstract Crack development due to imposed strains in different types of concrete structures and with varying boundary conditions is studied in order to improve control of cracking. A previously developed two-dimensional FE-method is used,...

Acidic attack of cement-based materials--a review Part 2. Factors of rate of acidic attack and protective measures.
June 1, 2002... Abstract This paper shows that both the aggressivity of an acidic environment and acidic resistance of cement based materials are of a complex nature. Both depend on several conditioning factors. Therefore, the evaluation of the...

Non-destructive investigation of microporosity in marbles by means of small angle neutron scattering.
June 1, 2002... Abstract Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements have been carried out on different marble and limestone samples, of relevance to cultural heritage safeguard, to investigate the micropore distribution in the size range between...
