High-quality nodule analysis in spheroidal graphite cast iron using X-ray micro-computed tomography

This work is a continuation of the studies presented in a recent paper by the authors, where a methodology to obtain different nodule quality categories in spheroidal graphite cast iron, was proposed. In this study, an exhaustive analysis…

Analysis of workability, mechanical strength and durability by the FT-IR method of concrete based on silica-limestone sand preserved in aggressive environments

Hima Abdelkader, Tarek Djedid, Mohammed Mani, Abdelhamid Guettala

The interest of using combined sand of equal percentage of silica and limestone becomes evident in the formulation of compacted concrete in several previous works around the world, due to the formidable percentage of fines that improves…

Carbonization Resistance of Reinforced Concrete under Bending Load

Yan Liu, Jun Ren, Zhongxian Li, Qiuli Gao, Shengli Zhao

Fly ash has been used more and more often to take the place of cement as the admixture of concrete in the construction of concrete buildings. However, with the increase of the carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration in the atmosphere…

Graphene Oxide on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cement Based Composite Material

Jinchang Pang, Wang Yeming

To investigate the mixing amount of graphene oxide and water cement ratio on the microstructure and mechanical properties of graphene oxide reinforced cement based composite material, graphene oxide suspension was developed using improved…

Multidisciplinary characterisation, weathering patterns, and durability assessment of stone blocks for the conservation of Tamentfoust fort (ex. Rusguniae) in Algiers.

Nesrine MEDDOUR, Boualem Djebri, Luisa Rovero

This study investigates the physico-mechanical properties, mineralogical composition, deterioration processes, weathering patterns, and durability of building materials in the Ottoman Fort of Tamentfoust, Algiers, to inform heritage…
