Use of bench-top NMR to measure the density, composition and desorption isotherm of C-S-H in cement paste

Karen Scrivener, Arnaud Charles Albert Muller

H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), supported by a measurement of the degree of hydration using X-ray diffraction, has been used to fully characterise the nano-scale porosity and composition of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H), the active component of ce ...

Variable stiffness material based on rigid low-melting-point-alloy-microstructures embedded in soft poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)

Dario Floreano, Bryan Edward Schubert

Materials with controllable stiffness are of great interest to many fields, including medicine and robotics. In this paper we develop a new type of variable stiffness material based on the combination of a rigid low-melting-point-alloy (LMPA) microstructur ...

Numerical analyses of the effect of SG-interlayer shear stiffness on the structural performance of reinforced glass beams

Pieter Christian Louter

This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of SentryGlas-laminated reinforced glass beams. In these beams, which have been experimentally investigated in preceding research, a stainless steel reinforcement section is laminated at the inner recessed edge ...

Autogenous Shrinkage and Hydration Kinetics of SH-UHPFRC under Moderate to Low Temperature Curing Conditions

Mohammadhadi Kazemi Kamyab

Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SH-UHPFRC) were used successfully over the last 8 years in numerous cast in place rehabilitation applications as long lasting waterproofing layers (20 to 30 mm thickness) and, combined with ...

The morphology of C-S-H: Lessons from H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry

Karen Scrivener

H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance has been applied to cement pastes, and in particular calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), for the characterisation of porosity and pore water interactions for over three decades. However, there is now renewed interest in the met ...

Scaling exponents for the conductivity and stiffness of replicated microcellular materials exceed commonly predicted values of 1 and 2. We show here that this is caused by the fact that, in replicated microcellular materials, the solid architecture varies ...

Springer US2013

Addition of fine limestone provides an excellent means to reduce the amount of clinker in cement. It is now well accepted that limestone partially reacts in cementitious systems with C3A to produce hemi- and monocarboaluminate phases and as a consequence m ...

Topology Optimization with Radial Basis Functions

Julien Hess

The purpose of this project is to perform topology optimization on the cantilever beam problem, which is a particular case of the two-dimensional elasticity problem. Based on a finite element discretization, a Matlab implementation of the elasticity proble ...

Cellular biocomposites from polylactide and microfibrillated cellulose

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, John Christopher Plummer, Razvan Cristian Neagu, Carole Boissard

This paper describes the production of "green" microfibrillated cellulose-reinforced polylactide cellular biocomposites using a wet mixing technique combined with super-critical carbon dioxide foaming. The effect of composition on the morphology, density a ...

Central to the biological function of microtubules. is their ability to modify their length which occurs by addition and removal of subunits at the ends of the polymer, both in vivo and in vitro. This dynamic behavior is strongly influenced by temperature. ...
