Importance Of Microstructural Understanding For Durable And Sustainable Concrete

Karen Scrivener

This paper presents the importance of microstructural studies for understanding concrete durability. Three examples - sulfate attack; alkali silica reaction and bacteriogenic corrosion in sewers are used to illustrate the pitfalls which can arise from conv ...

Durability Of Field Concrete Made Of Portland Cement And Supplementary Cementitious Materials Under Several European Exposure Conditions

Karen Scrivener, Emmanuel Gallucci, Aude Chabrelie

Deterioration of cementitious materials by sulfate ions is a concern for concrete in contact with ground water (and in a lesser extent sea water) in many parts of Europe, and is an important issue for underground construction identified as a major area for ...

Charge transport mechanisms in microcrystalline silicon

Libero Zuppiroli, Marie-Noëlle Bussac, Steven Konezny

A heterogeneous charge transport model for microcrystalline silicon based on fluctuation-induced tunneling is presented that fits the low-temperature saturation observed in dark conductivity measurements and accounts for the film microstructure. Excellent ...

Using Lagrangian particles to efficiently describe microstructure evolution in metal forming - Application to texture-induced mechanical anisotropy

Roland Logé

The paper proposes an original use of the Lagrangian particles concept for finite element computation of microstructure evolution in metal forming. The method amounts to distributing incomplete representations of the microstructure among the integration po ...

Investigation of fragrance release from amphiphilic multi-arm star-block copolymers

John Christopher Plummer, Pierre Stadelmann

The core–shell structure of a range of acrylic–acrylic latexes has been investigated by combining different specimen preparation methods with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (DSTEM) and low-volta ...

Yield Stress of Multimodal Powder Suspensions: An Extension of the YODEL (Yield Stress mODEL)

Paul Bowen

The prediction of the rheological properties of concentrated suspensions is of great importance both in industrial processes (ceramics, cements, and pharmaceutics) and natural phenomena (debris flow, soil erosion). In a previous paper, we presented a new m ...

Quantitative microstructural characterisation of concrete cured under realistic temperature conditions

Xinyu Zhang

The curing temperature is known to influence the strength and durability of concrete. In general, curing at elevated temperature results in high early strength gain, but impairs the long-term strength and transport properties. Previous investigations have ...
