Cement-based materials in sulfate rich areas will suffer from serious corrosion after semi-immersion. To study the degradation of cement mortars with different water cement ratio (w/c) partially exposed to sulfate solution, the mass change were employed to reveal damage progress. Moreover, porosity, erosion products and SO2 4 - content were...

In order to evaluate the aging status of the dam concrete for a 25-years-old concrete dam, the internal concrete and surface layer of the dam were tested by elastic wave computerized tomography (CT) and spectral analysis of surface wave (SASW). Also mechanical strength and elastic wave velocity were tested for the concrete cores from the dam....

In this work, a numerical model is proposed to study chloride transport in alkali-activated materials. This model is based on multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method, where particle distribution function is introduced to simulate the chloride binding and diffusion. This model takes into account diffusion, homogenous reaction between...

Characteristics of fly ash(FA) blended mortars (50%, 70% and 90%) at different curing ages (28 days and 180 days) under ammonium chloride solution(ACS) leaching were investigated. Mass loss under leaching, initial CaO content, Ca(OH)2 content(CH), content of chemical bonded water, and hydration degree of blended pastes were tested by XRF and DSC...

An Easement is a kind of usufructuary right, and its main purpose is that one party wants to use the property of others to improve the benefits and interests of his own real estate. With increasing population and accelerating urbanization, the limitation of urban space has gradually become prominent problem. To use the spatial resources fully,...

The original urban planning can never meet the requirements of the rapid development and the increasing population in big cities in China. The best way to solve this problem is to develop the underground space (including tunnels). With the exhaustion and saturation of the shallow underground space, the development of urban area is more and more...

We investigate the response of energy flux in isotropic turbulence to step-function like perturbation in external forcing at large length scales. From both physical experiments and direct numerical simulations, we measured the evolution of the Eulerian velocity structure functions, such as $D_{LL}(r)$, $D_{NN}(r)$, before and after the...

In 3D turbulent flows, the direct cascade of energy, characterized by a flux through scales, ε, is a strong source of irre- versibility. This irreversibility manifests itself in the asymmetry between negative and positive kinetic energy differences along particle trajectories. In particular, it is observed that the odd moments of the power of...

We here present the results of a measurement campaign at the Umweltforschungsstation Schneefernerhaus (UFS) research station at an elevation of 2650 m, on the mountain top of Zugspitze, Germany. We measured the three-dimensional motion of the water droplets inside a turbulent cloud using three high-speed stationary cameras. We show the...

The optimal transient growth process in a particle-laden channel flow is studied under the influence of the linear feedback control. The equilibrium Eulerian approach with the assumption that the particles are small and spherical is adopted. The effect of initial distribution of particles on the optimal transient growth of perturbations is...

Crystalline solids are solid materials whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in a highly regulated fashion. Due to lack of rotational freedom in their stacking, they have been known as fragile materials. Even though some efforts have been dedicated to bind or mend defects/cracks in amorphous materials like concrete or polymers...

The London Geotechnical Centrifuge Centre located at City University, London is one of four currently active centrifuges in the UK. The centrifuge is well used and much of the geotechnical research at City University employs physical modelling but supported by a large element testing facility and numerical modelling capability. The centre was...

Removing noise effectively without destroying important fine structure is a challenging problem in image processing. Among many techniques, diffusion method is shown to be attractive due to its rigorous mathematical background and efficiency. In this paper we propose a well-balanced diffusion method by redefining the diffusion and regularization...

The conventional magnetic induction equation that governs hydromagnetic dynamo action is transformed to an equivalent integral equation system. An advantage of this approach is that the computational domain is restricted to the region occupied by the electrically conducting fluid and to its boundary. This integral equation approach is applied to...
