This study was made to determine surface characteristics such as colour, gloss, and hardness changes of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis). The wood specimens were firstly impregnated with some fire-retardants (FRs) primed epoxy resin (EPR) then coated polyurethane/polyurea hybrid (PUU). 3 % aqueous solution boric acid (BA), borax (BX), mixture (1:1), ammonium sulphate (AS). While Sikafloor®-15...

This study presents a series of shock-tube tests conducted on structural panels using ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) as the explosive. The characteristics blast waves propagating through shock tube were analyzed by measuring pressure generated at specific locations inside tube. extent differences in confined space, such tube, was compared to that predicted proposed method Unified Facilities C...
