Porous networks provide the main transport channels to the active media, which will damage the microstructure and then lead to a subsequent reduction in the strength, serviceability and aesthetic of porous materials. The connectivity of the porous network plays an essential role in the transport properties of these active media. In statistic...

In recent years, the rapid industrialization and urbanization led to the explosive growth of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ashes (BA) production. However, most of them are directly landfilled, which not only brings environmental burden but also results in loss of potential resources. Present researches have proved that MSWI BA...

ASR (alkali-silica reaction) is one of the toughest durability problems in engineering. However, the damage induced by ASR is still fairly unpredictable due to the lack of microstructural information of cement-based materials affected by ASR, while the microstructure determines the global performance. In order to fill this gap, a multiscale...

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....

The understanding of sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (N-A-S-H) gel is still limited due to its complex and amorphous structure. Recently, molecular dynamics simulation has provided a unique opportunity to better understand the structure of N-A-S-H gel from nanoscale. In this work, the N-A-S-H gel structure was obtained by simulating the...

Carbonation has been proven to be a promising way to improve the mechanism properties and durability of steel slag products. CA bacteria can promote the hydration of CO2. In this study, one kind of alkali-resistant CA bacteria was chosen to investigate its effects on the carbonation process of γ-C2S. Results showed that bacteria could increase...

This paper presents a new 2D water transport model considering capillary suction to predict the water content evolution in the concrete porosity. The basic formulations of the model are illustrated, and a switching algorithm is introduced to simulated wet-drying effects. Two specific absorption tests are studied to validate this model. The first...

Magnesium ammonium phosphate cement (MAPC) has been commonly applied in civil engineering. However, the analysis of hydration behavior and composition of solid assemblages still needs further exploration. From thermodynamic simulation, it is shown that the molar ratio between MgO and NH4H2PO4 (M/P ratio) determines the final composition of...

This paper develops an empirical model to predict the static yield stress of 3D printing mortar based on the flowability of paste and excess paste thickness. The components of the mortar are divided into paste and aggregate. The relation between the yield stress of mortar and the yield stress of paste and the excess paste thickness is...

Due to hilly terrain and frequent heavy rainstorms, debris flow is one of the most common and catastrophic hazards in Hong Kong. To mitigate the debris flow risk, prediction of the magnitude and consequence of debris flow is essential. The objective of this paper is to simulate debris flow hazards in a study area in Hong Kong. Assessment of the...

Using direct numerical simulations of isotropic compressible turbulence driven by large-scale solenoidal force (up to 10243 grid points), we examine the Kolmogorov’s refined similarity hypotheses (RSH) as applied to active scalar, i.e. temperature, with Prandtl number of order one. The three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations are...

In this paper, a steady 3D numerical study has been conducted on a 90 mm counter rotating lift fan to investigate its aerodynamic performance. The effect of axial distance between the fans and rotor speed are studied. A low thrust generation has been revealed from the simulation results due to the unfavourable working condition for the upstream...

In this paper, we propose an approach to autonomously control a quadrotor micro aerial vehicle (MAV). With take-off weight of 50 g and 8-min flight endurance, the MAV platform codenamed ‘KayLion’ developed by the National University of Singapore (NUS) is able to perform autonomous flight with pre-planned path tracking. The vision-based...
