Study on the durability of solidified mud under chloride and dry-wet coupling by Zhang Songtao, Pang Jianyong, Zhang Jinsong, Zhou Changwei, Wang Yaxing

“…It was found that the hydration products such as hydrated calcium silicate gel ( C-S-H ) and calcium hydroxide crystal ( C-H ) in the solidified mud samples under the coupling of chloride erosion and dry-wet cycle were reduced, and more pores and cracks appeared. Under the same number of dry-wet cycles, the higher the concentration of sodium chloride solution, the more serious the micro-damage inside the sample. …”

Relationship between Porosity-Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and Water Absorption of Concrete Containing Plastic and Rubber Waste by Full Factor Desing by Belmouhoub Ameur, Abdelouahed Assia

“…Furthermore, the addition of rubber and plastic waste causes large voids and cracks to form inside the concrete structure. These voids and cracks can increase the porosity of the concrete, which raises the rate of water absorption and lowers the ultrasonic pulse velocity, according to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) data. …”

Time-Frequency Characteristics and the Influence Mechanism of the EMR from Coal with Different Joint Angles by Hongwei Mu, Dazhao Song, Shan Yin, Xueqiu He, Liming Qiu, Dongfang Su, Yang Liu

“…The duration of the EMR waveform, the dominant frequency of the EMR, and the peak number of the frequency spectrum of coal samples are on the rise. (2) As the joint angle increases, the samples’ failure mode changes from the stage fracture dominated by tension cracks to the rapid fracture with the coexistence of shear and tension cracks and finally to the burst fracture which produces a large number of fragments. …”
