In the present study, microstructure characteristic and texture evolution of TB18 titanium alloy were studied by isothermal hot compression under different strain with rate 0.001 s?1 0.1 in ? phase zone. Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) XRD used to characterize macrotexture. Microstructure demonstrated that coarse grains flatten elongated direction as increased. The dynamic recrystall...

background: high density concrete is extensively used for efficient radiation attenuation in radiotherapy rooms and nuclear reactors. over the past eight years, some efficient galena-based concrete samples for shielding x or gamma rays was produced. the goal of this study was to produce a novel high density concrete against neutron and photon radiations using tourmaline and galena. materials an...

there is a worldwide interest in using fibers of different types in concrete mixtures. in this regard, as the use of pet fibers has gradually increased during the last decade, this study aims to investigate the effects of pet fibers on the mechanical properties of hardened concrete and the workability of fresh concrete. to this end, different contents of pet fibers (pc= %0, %0.5, %1 and %1.5) a...

one of the main factors of premature deterioration of concrete structures is the corrosion of reinforcements. chloride penetration of concrete is one of the main reasons of this phenomenon. therefore, to have durable structure, it is necessary to have concretes with low permeability.there are various methods to evaluate permeability of concrete. finding a relationship between them can be useful...

By increasing the demolition of old concrete structures and the interest of civil industries to consume cheaper materials, using Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) can cause environmental protection and decrease the construction costs. On the other hand, the high potential of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) in concrete industry was established by extensive experimental researches were performe...

In this paper, the effect of Polypropylene Fibers added to concrete on strength and thermal resistance of high strength concrete has been investigated. Therefore, five tests have been carried out to reach this goal which it includes; effect of weight percent of polypropylene fibers on mechanical properties of concrete, effect of fiber’s length on the strength of high strength concrete, effect o...

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 ...

Characteristics of produced concrete become changedthrough changingthe characteristics of materials constituting the concrete. These changes include: The quality of cement, the real ration of water to cement: with neglecting the further water within the aggregates or lack of that, the consideredratio fluctuates and the characteristics of the aggregate which are related to the following dimensio...
