Residual Capability of Alkali Binding by Hydrated Pozzolanic Cements in Long-Service Concrete Structures by Mario Berra, Teresa Mangialardi, Antonio Evangelista Paolini

“…An experimental procedure was developed and applied to cement pastes made with two different pozzolanic cements (CEM IV/B (P) and CEM IV/B (V)) in order to ascertain the existence of a residual capability of alkali binding by long-term hydrated pozzolanic cements and, at the same time, to evaluate the alkali retention capability and the concentration of OH− ions in the pore solution of such cementitious matrices. …”

Determination of Optimum Quantity of Cassava Peel Ash (CPA) as Partial Replacement of Cement for Maximum Concrete Strength and its Cost Analysis. by Nasasira, Johnson

“…The cassava peels were sundried and burnt into ash in the furnace at 700-800oc and their chemical and physical properties were studied using the X-ray Fluorescence method which was found to contain elements such as calcium dioxide 85.677%, iron (iii) oxide 5.662%, silicon dioxide 3.517%, potassium oxide 1.731%, aluminum oxide 1.515% manganese(ii) oxide 0.803%, phosphorous pent oxide 0.456%, titanium oxide 0.310%, chromium (ii) oxide 0.143%, and magnesium oxide 0.109%. blended pastes containing OPC and 45 cubes were caster with cassava peel ash (CPA) at different percentage replacement, 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% were investigated for consistency, initial and final setting time for the blended paste CPA- OPC pastes and dry density of cubes and compressive strength of grade 25 (C25) Concrete. …”

FATIGU TEST AND PARAMETRIC STUDY OF CRACKED STEEL PLATES REPAIRED BY CFRP by WU XiZhi, CHENG JunSheng, YANG Yu, HUANG Yi

“…At the thin steel plates running a period,cracks may occur at the material or weld,and traditional repair methods aren’t suitable for cracks repair of the thin steel plates.But the method of drilling hole at the crack tip and pasting CFRP on the steel plates is a choice for crack repair.Firstly,through five groups of fatigue test,it analyzed the effect of the crack fatigue life of the hole joint CFRP reinforcement and the other methods.Then,based on the cohesive force theory,it established the finite element model of notch steel plate reinforced with CFRP.With the finite element model,it studied the repair parameters of the stiffness,length and width of CFRP.The results demonstrate that the remaining fatigue life of the hole joint CFRP reinforcement is better than drilling holes or pasting CFRP,and even more than the steel plate with no crack.So it is especially suitable for the thin-wall steel plate with short cracks.…”
