Using charge passed to determine the chloride diffusion coefficient in mortar from accelerated chloride migration test.
June 1, 2003... Abstract In this study, a method is proposed for determining the chloride diffusion coefficient in mortar from accelerated chloride migration test. The effective chloride diffusion coefficient is calculated on the basis of the...

Properties of cement--rice husk mixture.
June 1, 2003... Abstract The properties of lightweight mortar using rice husk can benefit from pozzolanic reaction and from organic fibre reinforcement. The effect of curing and storage on 40 x 40 x 160 [mm.sup.3] OPC rice husk mortar specimens is...

Development of water reducing agent from creosote oil.
June 1, 2003... Abstract The present study describes the development of water-reducing agent from creosote oil (light and middle fraction). The effect of water reducing agent has been studied on the physical properties of mortars namely setting time, flow...

Water vapour permeability of clay bricks.
June 1, 2003... Abstract The water vapour permeability of clay bricks has been experimentally measured in order to draw a representative outline of industrial products without pore-forming additives. The correlations between water vapour permeability and...

Survey of building sands in Australia.
June 1, 2003... Abstract Mortar sands were collected across a large area of northern New South Wales, Australia and analysed to assess their suitability for masonry construction. Grading curves of 50 sands collected are presented and compared with...

The development of roundwood timber pole structures for use on rural community technology projects.
June 1, 2003... Abstract Roundwood timber from forest thinnings is a plentiful and inexpensive resource in many parts of the world, generally destined for low grade applications such as pulping, board production or fuel. In recent years, there has been...

Bond degradation due to the desalination process.
June 1, 2003... Abstract In this paper, bond degradation due to the desalination process of chloride-contaminated reinforced concrete is investigated. Four different constant voltages were applied to study the effect of the current on the desalination....

Dry boards as load beating element in the profiled steel sheet dry board floor panel system--structural performance and applications.
June 1, 2003... Abstract This paper describes the application of various types of dry boards that are normally used as non-load beating building components, as a structural component in an innovative lightweight composite structural flooring panel system...
