Principal Type of Water Responsible for Damage of Concrete Repeated Freeze-Thaw Cycles
The first and basic cause of the failure of concrete is repeated freezing (thawing) of moisture contained in the pores, microcracks, and cavities of the concrete. On transition to ice, water existing in the free state in cracks increases in volume, expanding the recess in which freezing occurs. A reduction in strength below the initial value is to be expected and further cycle of freezing and t...
متن کاملDiurnal Freeze-Thaw Cycles Modify Winter Soil Respiration in a Desert Shrub-Land Ecosystem
Winter soil respiration (Rs) is becoming a significant component of annual carbon budgets with more warming in winter than summer. However, little is known about the controlling mechanisms of winter Rs in dryland. We made continuous measurements of Rs in four microsites (non-crust (BS), lichen (LC), moss (MC), and a mixture of moss and lichen (ML)) in a desert shrub-land ecosystem northern Chin...
متن کاملThe global stoichiometry of litter nitrogen mineralization.
Plant residue decomposition and the nutrient release to the soil play a major role in global carbon and nutrient cycling. Although decomposition rates vary strongly with climate, nitrogen immobilization into litter and its release in mineral forms are mainly controlled by the initial chemical composition of the residues. We used a data set of approximately 2800 observations to show that these g...
متن کاملEffect of repeated freeze-thaw cycles on geographically different populations of the freeze-tolerant worm Enchytraeus albidus (Oligochaeta).
Freeze-tolerant organisms survive internal ice formation; however, the adaptations to repeated freeze-thaw cycles are often not well investigated. Here we report how three geographically different populations of Enchytraeus albidus (Germany, Iceland and Svalbard) respond to three temperature treatments - constant thawed (0°C), constant freezing (-5°C) and fluctuating temperature (0 to -5°C) - o...
متن کاملSimulating Martian Conditions: Methanogen Survivability during Freeze-thaw Cycles
Introduction: Methanogens are obligate anaerobes that use molecular hydrogen as an energy source and carbon dioxide as a carbon source to produce methane. They are classified as Archaea and are found in many extreme environments, including hydrothermal vents, volcanoes, and also the human microflora. The current Martian atmosphere is low in pressure, very dry (hyper-arid), and high in radiation...
