Strength of glass determined by the relation of the critical flaw to the fracture mirror

Tensile strength of structural glass elements is highly influenced by flaws. For this paper, the study concentrates on the fracture origin i.e. the critical flaw, situated at the edge of a glass element. In the current study the influence of two different ...

Effect of glass on the frictional behavior of basalts at seismic slip rates

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

We performed 31 friction experiments on glassy basalts (GB) and glass-free basalts (GFB) at slip rates up to 6.5 m s-1 and normal stress up to 40 MPa (seismic conditions). Frictional weakening was associated to bulk frictional melting and lubrication. The ...

The Effect of Mg on Slag Reactivity in Blended Cements

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings

Blast-furnace slags are widely used as supplementary cementitious materials in blended cements because of their relatively high reactivity. This study describes the effect of substituting Ca by Mg on the reactivity of synthetic glass with similar compositi ...

Exploratory experimental investigations on post-tensioned structural glass beams

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The mechanical response of post-tensioned glass beams is explored in this paper. This is done through bending experiments on post-tensioned glass beam specimens with either mechanically anchored or adhesively bonded steel tendons by which a beneficial pre- ...

MEMS-based Porous Silicon Preconcentrators Filled with Carbopack-B for Explosives Detection

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, El Hadji Malick Camara

In this paper we report the detection of explosive compounds using a miniaturized gas preconcentrator (μGP) made of porous silicon (PS) filled in with Carbopack B as an adsorbent material. The μGP includes also a platinum heater patterned at the backside a ...
