Evaluation of Thermal Cracking Index in Slab-Concrete Under Uncertain Parameters

‏‎suppression of coke formation in thermal cracking by coke inhibitors‎‏

‏‎the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...

Cracking of Concrete Cover in Frp Reinforced Concrete Elements under Thermal Loads

Synopsis: The effects of thermal loads on the structural performance of FRP reinforced concrete elements are analyzed in this paper. The difference in transverse coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between FRP and concrete causes the presence of tensile stresses within the concrete and, eventually, the formation of cracks when the temperature increases. As part of an inter-university experim...

Structural Engineering Forensic Evaluation of Misdiagnosed Concrete Masonry Wall Cracking

Given that concrete masonry walls are expected to experience shrinkage combined with thermal expansion and contraction, and in some cases even carbonation, throughout their service life, cracking is to be expected. However, after concrete masonry walls have been placed into service, originally anticipated and accounted for cracking is often misdiagnosed as a structural defect. Such misdiagnoses...
