Investigation of microwave-assisted concrete recycling using single-particle testing
Microwave heating stands as a strong candidate for selective liberation of multiphase materials like concrete. It takes advantage of the differences in thermal, dielectric and mechanical properties of each of the components to create stress gradients that can lead to grain boundary fracture and embrittlement. The work and results reported are concerned with selective liberation of concrete’s ra...
متن کاملPrecast, Pretensioned, Post-Tensioned Concrete for Bridge Decks
The problem of concrete bridge deck deterioration on many of our newer as well as older bridges is severe, somewhat perplexing as to cause, and difficult to solve. Furthermore, the cost to highway agencies for their repair, and the cost of delay to the highway user, can be extremely large. The use of precast, prestressed concrete for bridge decks is a con cept of construction or reconstruction...
متن کاملA Contactless Technique for Measuring Minority-carrier Parameters in Silicon
Characterization of minority-carrier parameters is a primary interest for a range of devices, including solar cells. For “on-line” testing needs, contactless techniques are mandatory, as any diagnostic requiring contact formation is impractical. Here, we will describe the resonancecoupled photoconductive decay (RCPCD) technique that has proven to be a valuable diagnostic for a number of semicon...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF PRETENSIONED CONCRETE BEAMS CONSIDERING MATERIAL NONLINEARITY
In this paper, the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method is used to find optimal layouts of 3D prestressed concrete beams. Considering the element sensitivity number as the design variable, the mathematical formulation of topology optimization is developed based on the ABAQUS finite element software package. The surface-to-surface contact with a small sliding between...
متن کاملPulse compression technique applied to ultrasonic nondestructive testing of concrete
The pulse compression technique is successfully and widely used in many fields for improving the signal to noise ratio (SNR); which is especially useful when the environment is noisy and the SNR is poor. Since high frequency ultrasound is strongly attenuated in concrete, only low frequency ultrasound can be used in ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) of concrete. In this study the pulse com...
