Nanogranular origin of concrete creep.
Concrete, the solid that forms at room temperature from mixing Portland cement with water, sand, and aggregates, suffers from time-dependent deformation under load. This creep occurs at a rate that deteriorates the durability and truncates the lifespan of concrete structures. However, despite decades of research, the origin of concrete creep remains unknown. Here, we measure the in situ creep b...
متن کاملInvestigating the Creep Properties of PET-Modified Asphalt Concrete
This study has investigated the creep properties of asphaltic concrete modified with different dosages of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in two different ranges of size. Uniaxial dynamic creep test at 40°C was conducted on the cylindrical specimens of the mixtures. The load was applied in two different frequencies of 0.5 and 5Hz. Creep test results showed that the accumulated strain und...
متن کاملCREEP RATE IN CONCRETE 337 Discussion on the Proposed Creep Law
Despite decades of intensive research, an entirely satisfactory constitutive relation for creep in concrete is still unavailable, even for working stress levels [I]. The rate-type creep laws with internal variables [2], although rather effective for numerical creep analysis of large structural systems, seem to be incapable of describing the aging phenomena without at least partially violating s...
متن کاملSpecial Time Series Prediction: Creep of Concrete
This paper presents an algorithm, different from the classical time series, specialised in extracting knowledge from time series. The algorithm, based on Genetic Programming, enables the dynamic introduction of non-terminal operators shaped as mathematical expressions (operatorexpression) that works as an unique node for the purpose of genetic operations (crossover and mutation). A new characte...
متن کاملOptical vortex beam generator at nanoscale level
Optical beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) can find tremendous applications in several fields. In order to apply these particular beams in photonic integrated devices innovative optical elements have been proposed. Here we are interested in the generation of OAM-carrying beams at the nanoscale level. We design and experimentally demonstrate a plasmonic optical vortex emitter, based o...
