In this study, a new concept on self healing of cracks that the ingressive ions in the crack is chemically bound to improve the self-healing efficiency was proposed for cracked cementitious materials in a marine environment. Thermodynamic modeling was performed to determine the appropriate masses and ratio of Ca2+ and Al3+ provided by chemical...

Most of the waste glass, such as flat glass, glass bottle, is buried in the landfill, which is not desirable because it is not biodegradable and is not conducive to the long-term development of the environment. The glass powder (GP) with a certain fineness has excellent pozzolanic effect and can be used as a potential supplementary cementing...

Current lumber scanners used in industrial wood manufacturing plants such as rough mills and flooring plants are used to measure, evaluate the quality, and optimize processing of solid wood. Because various wood species differ significantly in their color, grain structure, natural characteristics, defects and density, for their optimal...

Due to limited information in site investigation, it is not possible to obtain the actual values for the mean, standard deviation, and scale of fluctuation of a soil property of interest. The deviation between the estimated values and actual values is called the statistical uncertainty. There are two schools of thoughts on how to model the...

Most of the research findings in evaluating slope stability using limit analysis are chart-based. No such stability chart is available to cover a wide range of material strength, slope geometries and external disturbance. Practitioners find it difficult to use the charts for a specific slope project. Compared with a large number of existing...

It is well known that fully developed turbulent free shear layers exhibit a high degree of order, characterized by large-scale coherent structures, i.e. spanwise vortex rollers. Extensive experimental investigations show that such organised motions bear remarkable resemblance to inviscid instability waves, and their main characteristics,...

Recently, encapsulated silyl esters have been shown to act as efficient healing agents for self-healing anticorrosive coatings. While the positive protective effects were irrefutable, the actual protection mechanism has not been clarified yet. In this study, x-ray computed ?-tomography and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have been...

Epoxy E-51/UF resin microcapsules were prepared by traditional two-stepped in situ polymerization method and processing parameters affecting the final microcapsules’ shape and size were carefully studied in the aim to obtain microcapsule with ideally spherical shape and uniform size. It’s found the polycarboxylate surfactant of SMA (styrene...

Polymers reinforced with high performance fibres are successfully replacing metal alloys in lightweight aircraft structures. A critical factor in structural design is the resistance of a structure to progressive damage which develops during its service time. The brittle nature of matrix cracking is the main source of composite failure initiating...

The microcapsules of epoxy E-51 resin encapsulated by cured itself were prepared by interfacial curing reaction, in which ethylenediamine (EDA) was employed as curing agent and sulfonated copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride (SMA) as emulsifying agent. It’s found the morphology of microcapsules strongly depend on reaction time and EDA...

The concept of generalized complex inductance for the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) technique is introduced to model microstrip radiation problems. Using the semi-analytical Greens functions for microstrip substrates, the imaginary part of this generalized complex inductance can be shown to represent a frequency-dependent resistance...

In this paper, we propose a frequency independent approach, the numerical steepest descent path method, for computing the physical optics scattered electromagnetic field on the quadratic parabolic and saddle surfaces. Due to the highly oscillatory nature of the physical optics integral in the high frequency regime, the proposed method relies on...

While heated discussions have been directed towards various innovative procurement systems such as PPP, PFI, and BOT that carry the great expectation to help materialise the projects and deliver value to the society, a procurement system named agent-construction system (ACS or in Chinese Dai Jian Zhi) is being prevailing in China’s public...

Three-dimensional tank in smooth tank is of concern in various engineering applications. Sloshing waves in moving tanks have been studied numerically, theoretically and experimentally in past several decades and many significant phenomena have been considered in those studies, especially the linear and nonlinear effects of sloshing wave with...
