چکیده

In this paper we propound a non­destructive and non­invasive technique for measuring the thickness of water penetration in a homogeneous slab. The proposed device consists of a 252 Cf spontaneous fission source and a set of 3 He detectors located on the same side of a concrete slab subject to water infiltration. The effectiveness of this technique has been investigated by Monte Carlo simulation with the MCNP4C code.

Evaluation of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete Exposed to Severe Environmental Conditions

Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) consisting of two or more different types of fibers has been widely investigated because of its superior mechanical properties. In the present study, the effect of the addition of steel (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% of concrete volume) and Polypropylene (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% of concrete volume) fibers on the surface scaling resistance of concrete, depth of ...

Modifications to Walker-Anderson Model for Analysis of High-velocity Penetration of an Eroding Long-rod Projectile into Semi-infinite Concrete Targets

This paper presents a modified form of the Walker-Anderson (W-A) model for analyzing high velocity penetration of an eroding projectile into a concrete target in which the W-A model is improved by incorporating calculations for the plastic flow field of concrete in terms of its compressibility and strain rate sensitivity under severe pressure. With the changes to and calculations of plastic fie...

Production of an economic high-density concrete for shielding megavoltage radiotherapy rooms and nuclear reactors

Background: In megavoltage radiotherapy rooms, ordinary concrete is usually used due to its low construction costs, although higher density concrete are sometimes used, as well. The use of high-density concrete decreases the required thickness of the concrete barrier hence, its disadvantage is its high cost. In a nuclear reactor, neutron radiation is the most difficult to shield. A method for p...

Processing Digital Image for Measurement of Crack Dimensions in Concrete

The elements of the concrete structure are most frequently affected by cracking. Crack detection is essential to ensure safety and performance during its service life. Cracks do not have a regular shape, in order to achieve the exact dimensions of the crack; the general mathematical formulae are by no means applicable. The authors have proposed a new method which aims to measure the crack dimen...
