The research presented in this paper focused on the preliminary non- and semi-destructive analysis of copper alloys, corrosion, soil components from a Roman archaeological site Israel. Investigations using portable X-ray fluorescence, diffraction scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy as well micromorphological analyses were carried out to gain better understanding cor...

Alkali silica reaction (ASR) can significantly affect the service life of concrete. The dissolution aggregates has a direct impact on gel formation and thus macroscopic expansion. conventional expansion tests other investigations confirmed ASR reactivity three from different locations in Switzerland. reactive minerals within alpine composite were identified using an innovative scratch-tracking ...

Feldspar grains, as a significant provenance indicator, of two terrigenous formations from Central Iran, the Upper Red Formation, and Moghan area, Zivah Formation, are used for provenance determination and the study of transportation and depositional history. The Upper Red Formation (URF) is volumetrically the most important siliciclastic unit of the Central Iran and Zivah Formation (ZF) repres...
