Effect of corrosion inhibiting admixtures on concrete properties.
September 1, 2004... Abstract The effect of different corrosion inhibiting admixtures on concrete properties is investigated experimentally. Two reference concretes are considered, based on Portland cement, resp., blast furnace slag cement. The effect of four...

Durability of FRP rods for concrete structures.
September 1, 2004... Abstract Over the last two decades fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rods have emerged as one of the most promising and affordable solutions to the corrosion problems of steel reinforcement in structural concrete. The application of FRP rods...

The effect of water movement on specific heat of gypsum plasterboard in heat transfer analysis under natural fire exposure.
September 1, 2004... Abstract This paper presents the results of a numerical study of heat and mass transfer in gypsum plasterboard under natural fire conditions in buildings. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of mass (moisture)...

Quantification of the water demand of sand in mortar.
September 1, 2004... Abstract The sand type has an important influence oil the properties of mortar. By means of an extensive experimental research programme, considering nine different sand types, this influence is characterised and quantified. Two series of...

Assessment of fracture properties of epoxy polymer concrete reinforced with short carbon and glass fibers.
September 1, 2004... Abstract Polymer concrete is a composite material formed by polymerizing a monomer and aggregate mixture. The polymerized monomer acts as the aggregates binder. In this research work, the polymer is epoxy resin and the aggregate is a...

The effect of temperature on strength--porosity relationship for concrete.
September 1, 2004... Abstract In this paper, the unsealed concrete samples are tested to determine the compressive strengths and porosities while hot at various temperatures ranging from 25 to 280 [degrees]C. All measurements have been carried out after...

Combined bituminous binder and mixture linear rheological properties.
September 1, 2004... Abstract This paper, describes an investigation into the linearity limits and rheological properties of various unmodified and modified bituminous binders as well as asphalt mixtures incorporating these binders. The binder tests were...

Size effect on bond strength of deformed bars.
September 1, 2004... Abstract The size-effect on bond strength between deformed bars and concrete is investigated using pullout and lap splice tests. The specimen parameters include bar diameter (up to 52 mm), rib shape, cover thickness, and the...
