The aim of this work is to investigate how ANFIS modelling of the chloride permeability of concrete can contribute to the sustainable development. Therefore, to have an opinion about service lives of concrete structures, especially the reinforced ones. Thus, some mixture properties and the rapid chloride permeability test results of different types of concretes obtained from a previous study ar...

The ability of the common brackish water polychaete worm Nereis diversicolor O. F. Miiller to regulate osmotically and ionically has been well established (Schlieper, 1929; Beadle, 1937; Smith, 1955; Hohendorf, 1963; Oglesby, 1970; and others). Jergensen & Dales (1957) demonstrated an uptake of chloride against the concentration gradient at low salinities, with a maximum rate of exchange under ...

We have previously shown that neonate rabbit tubules have a lower chloride permeability but comparable mannitol permeability compared with adult proximal tubules. The surprising finding of lower chloride permeability in neonate proximals compared with adults impacts net chloride transport in this segment, which reabsorbs 60% of the filtered chloride in adults. However, this maturational differe...

This paper presents an experimental study on the nature of permeation properties and pore structure of concrete surface layers containing fly ash. Concretes containing different dosages of fly ash as a replacement for cement (15% and 30% by weight of total cement materials, respectively) were investigated. Concrete without any fly ash added was also employed as the reference specimen. Laborator...

Durability of concrete structure in marine environments is a big issue for many decades due to chloride attack. Chloride penetrates the concrete structure and accelerates the corrosion process of reinforcement which decreases the life of those structures. Also shrinkage cracks in concrete play main role for chloride penetration through concrete surface.  Many researchers tried to find easy and ...

The early proximal tubule preferentially reabsorbs organic solutes and bicarbonate over chloride ions, resulting in a luminal fluid with a higher chloride concentration than that in blood. From this late proximal tubular fluid, one-half of NaCl reabsorption by the adult proximal tubule is active and transcellular and one-half is passive and paracellular. The purpose of the present in vitro micr...

The early description of cystic fibrosis (CF) dates back to late 30s. In 1936, Fanconi identified the association between the “congenital CF of the pancreas and broncheactasis" shortly followed by Andersen who in 1938 gave the complete anatomopathologic description of CF. In 1953, Di Sant'Agnese described an excess of sodium chloride in the sweat of children affected by CF. This discovery short...

The aim of the study was to generate rules for the prediction of the chloride resistance of concrete modified with high calcium fly ash using machine learning methods. The rapid chloride permeability test, according to the Nordtest Method Build 492, was used for determining the chloride ions' penetration in concrete containing high calcium fly ash (HCFA) for partial replacement of Portland ceme...
