Guo, Z. (author), Qiu, Jingping (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Zhou, Hao (author), Liu, C. (author), Yang, Lei (author)The increasing amount of solid waste, e.g., waste tyres from car industry and tailings from mine operations, causes substantial environmental and societal issues. The recycled tyre polymer fibre (RTPF) reinforced cemented tailings backfill (CTB) is a kind of composite that can treat waste tyres and tailings simultaneously and realize green...journal article 2023

Lubelli, B. (author), Nijland, Timo G. (author), van Hees, R.P.J. (author)Compatibility of repair materials in conservation is a widely desired goal, but difficult to achieve. In this research, the compatibility of four commercial stone repair mortars, commonly used in conservation practice in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries, is discussed. In order to do so, they have been characterized in laboratory....journal article 2021

Liu, D (author), Šavija, B. (author), Smith, G.E. (author), Flewitt, P.E.J. (author), Lowe, T. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)In this work, porosity-property relationships of quasi-brittle materials are explored through a combined experimental and numerical approach. In the experimental part, hemihyrate gypsum plaster powder (CaSO 4 ⋅1/2H 2 O CaSO4⋅1/2H2O) and expanded spherical polystyrene beads (1.5–2.0 mm dia.) have been mixed to form a model material with...journal article 2017

Ohlund, C.E.I.C. (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Weidow, J (author), Thuvander, M (author), Offerman, S.E. (author)A comparison is made between the mechanical properties of the ultra-high-strength steel KNDS4 of fastener grade 14.9 and of conventional, high-strength steels 34Cr4 of fastener grade 12.9 and 33B2 of grade 10.9. The results show that the ratio of the yield strength at elevated temperatures to the yield strength at room temperature is higher for...journal article 2016
