Abstract Plastic paving blocks use concrete sand and plastic waste as binding materials. This study aims to calculate the potential for reducing in nature if are mass produced. The was carried out using an experimental method, a laboratory place of testing. If reduction is considered, 60% plastic:40% variation with compressive strength value 13.92 MPa included grade C. conclusion this manufactu...

Abstract. The mechanical and damage behavior of a X100 steel after prestrain is studied in this work. Experimental results show both a plastic and rupture anisotropy: the T direction exhibits a higher ultimate stress but the lowest ductility and toughness. Prestrain reduces ductility and crack growth resistance. A model able to represent the plastic and damage behaviour of the material before a...

Bonding of hydrophobic plastic materials to wood to create new wood-plastic (polystyrene) materials with improved mechanical and physical properties that incorporate the desirable features of each constituent is difficult to achieve, This is due to poor interfacial adhesion between the wood and polystyrene components because of their inherent incompatibility. New, well-defined, tailored cellulo...
