INTERPRETATION OF ELECTRICAL-RESISTANCE SOIL MOISTURE DATA FOR A FREEZE-THAW ENVIRONMENT

Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Concretes with BFSA

Abstract—Air-cooled Blast Furnace Slag Aggregate (BFSA) is usually referred to as a material providing for unique properties of concrete. On the other hand, negative influences are also presented in many aspects. The freeze-thaw resistance of concrete is dependent on many factors, including regional specifics and when a concrete mix is specified it is still difficult to tell its exact freeze-th...

Monitoring Soil Moisture and Freeze/Thaw State Using C-band Imaging Radar

Modified Rayleigh Model in the Interpretation of Soil Moisture Data

Surface soil moisture is important to understand environmental systems and dielectric constant is a convenient physical parameter to describe this. Dielectric Mixing models relate the effective dielectric constant of a heterogeneous medium with the properties of constituent materials. The dielectric properties of the soil is known to have dependence on Soil moisture content along with other fac...

A New Resistance Model for Interpretation of Gas Permeation Data of Composite and Asymmetric Membranes

In this work a new resistance model has been presented based on that of Henis-Tripodi which can be used for interpretation of gas permeation data in composite and asymmetric membranes. In contrast to the previous works, in this model the fraction of the support layer surface that includes the pores filled with coating material has been taken into account. The influences of the filled pores on s...
