Abstract To satisfy the ever-increasing demands for high-performance ceramic foams that could be applied in catalysts loader, filtrations and adsorptions, it is critical to develop technologies for ceramic foams with open channel structure. In this work, we fabricated ceramic foams with three-dimensional porous structure specially with open channels by combining direct foaming method with adding pore-forming agent method. There are two levels of length scale present in this hierarchically porous structure, that is, foam structure with spherical pores evolved from bubbles, and open pores on the cell wall derived from silica hollow spheres with thin shell as the pore-former. Hierarchical ZrO 2 based foams with porosity of 86.5%-95.1% and compressive strength of 2.05-5.67 MPa, and Al 2 O 3 based foams with porosity of 86.2%-91.0% and compressive strength of 6.8-13.2 MPa were fabricated. The prepared ceramic foams characterized by this open channel structure are promising to perform outstandingly in the abovementioned fields due to their uniform pore size, low density as well as high mechanical strength.

A novel approach is used for fabricating steel slag foam ceramics based on the particle-stabilized foaming method. In this work, steel slag was used as the raw material and propyl gallate (PG) was used as the surface modifier. For the first time, steel slag ceramic foams were successfully fabricated based on particle-stabilized foams. The results show that the stability of the ceramic foams was closely related to the pH value and PG concentration. The porosity and compressive strength could be controlled by changing the solid loading of steel slag and sintering temperature. The porosity of steel slag foam ceramics ranged from 85.6% to 62.53%, and the compressive strength was from 1.74 MPa to 10.42 MPa. The thermal conductivity of steel slag foam ceramics was only 0.067 W (m·K)−1, which shows that it could be used as a thermal insulation material.

Based on forced vibration tests for high-performance concrete (HPC), the influence of bridge vibration induced by traveling vehicle on compressive strength and durability of HPC has been studied. It is concluded that 1 d and 2 d compressive strength of HPC decreased significantly, and the maximum reduction rate is 9.1%, while 28 d compressive strength of HPC had a slight lower with a 3% maximal drop under the action of two simple harmonic vibrations with 2 Hz, 3 mm amplitude, and 4 Hz, 3 mm amplitude. Moreover, the vibration had a slight effect on the compressive strength of HPC when the simple harmonic vibration had 4 Hz and 1 mm amplitude; it is indicated that the amplitude exerts a more prominent influence on the earlier compressive strength with the comparison of the frequency. In addition, the impact of simple harmonic vibration on durability of HPC can be ignored; this shows the self-healing function of concrete resulting from later hydration reaction. Thus, the research achievements mentioned above can contribute to learning the laws by which bridge vibration affects the properties of concrete and provide technical support for the design and construction of the bridge deck pavement maintenance.
