Ferrocement is composed of cement mortar reinforced with small diameter closely spaced steel wire mesh to form a thin section conforming high performance of serviceability. The present study investigates the performance of ferrocement panels focused on the mechanical properties, water absorption and durability. A series of specimens were cast with single and double mesh layers. Flexural performance was carried out following sixty days in temperature cycle and in corrosion cell. These results was compared with the controlled sample. The test results shows that the flexural strength performance was reduced by 52% and 35% for single and double layer wire mesh samples respectively  followed by corrosion environment. First crack load also changed after completion of sixty temperature cycles. This load is 27.3%, 42.3% and 31.8% of failure load for controlled sample, sample in room air after every temperature cycle and samples in room air following quenching after every temperature cycle respectively for single mesh layer sample, and for double mesh layer sample these values are 38.9%, 30.1% and 17.7%. Early first crack is found for the samples following quenching and cooled in room air; however, both types of samples are in low absorption level. This data represents that double layer mesh specimen exhibits better when compared to single layer mesh specimen in strength and corrosion parameters.

A steel reinforced plastic pipe (PSP), which is composed of two layers of high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix and a high strength steel wire mesh skeleton, has wide applications in many industrial areas, such as gas and petroleum transportation, etc. In order to achieve higher efficency and lower costs, a large diameter PSP has been developed. However, requirements of the large diameter PSP in safety and economy are much higher, compared with those small diameter PSPs, and some potential problems should be taken into account. In this paper, relevant structural parameters of the large diameter PSP are determined, based on a previously proposed model, and a short-term burst test is carried out. The experiment results agree with the theoretical results quite well. Subsequently, the resistance of vertical pressure and uniform external pressure are evaluated by using experiment investigation and finite element method, respectively. And corresponding results indicate the large diameter PSP with determined structural parameters is qualified to use.

The high strength stainless steel wire mesh and high-performance mortar reinforcement has been gradually applied in construction, bridge reinforcement project. Study of the reinforcement at home and abroad mainly focus on research of strengthening RC beam shear, bending, and seismic performance. Although the application of RC column has already been carried out, there is also a short of basic technical an applied research for further study. After looking through a large amount of references, this article gives a summary of the present study about reinforcing RC column with the reinforcement, draws some conclusions and predicts the prospect of development.

The paper presents the results of basic thermal properties of thermal barrier coatings on the base of rare earth zirconate of type Gd2Zr2O7, deposited by the air plasma spraying (APS) method. Measurements of thermal diffusivity with the laser-flash method were performed within the temperature range of 25°C-1100°C with two and ten hours of annealing. The measurements were performed on the single-layer (AMS 5599 alloy), double-layer (AMS 5599 alloy + NiCrAlY interlayer) and three-layer samples (AMS 5599 alloy + NiCrAlY interlayer + ceramic layer of RE2Zr2O7). By using the NETZSCH Proteus software and the results for the single-layer sample, thermal diffusivity of the interlayer itself was determined by means of the double-layer model. A similar method was used to determine the thermal diffusivity of the ceramic layer. The obtained results showed lower thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity for the new type of coatings in comparison with the standard zirconium concerning TBCs. Those results are slightly different compared with the results obtained for the initial powders, which indicates a crucial role of the ceramic layer microstructure (architecture of cracks and porosity).

The pre-stressed stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) –mortar (M) is a pre-stressed laminate structure for structural strengthening and rehabilitation. Pre-stressing the stainless steel wire mesh is the key technology for engineering practice. A jogged anchor is proposed for anchoring large diameter SSWM conveniently. The flexural performances of 5 damaged RC beams strengthened by pre-stressed SSWM-M and one referential RC beam were tested. The experimental results indicates that the large diameter pre-stressed SSWM-M has a better performance in controlling the crack growth, restoring the flexural capacity and stiffness than the small diameter pre-stressed SSWM-M.

This paper presents the effect of warp knit textile reinforcement in ferrocement laminates. In general, steel wire mesh is used as ferrocement reinforcement, which is often known as chicken mesh. The need for the replacement of steel mesh is the problem of corrosion, which reduces the durability of ferrocement laminate. High performance synthetic fibres and fabrics are constantly used in various research works as reinforcement in concrete. In this paper, an attempt was made to incorporate three different nylon warp knit mesh structures in the place of chicken mesh. Ferrocement composites were produced with chicken mesh and nylon warp knit fabrics. The flexural properties of ferrocement laminates were analysed in terms of the first crack load, ultimate load, energy absorption capacity and ductility factor. Nylon square mesh with 3 layers in the reinforcement has a 2.5 kN first crack load and 3.36 kN ultimate load, which is higher than chicken mesh reinforcement in ferrocement laminate. The results show that there is an improvement in the flexural properties of ferrocement laminates reinforced with a nylon warp knit structure. The flexural parameters have a direct relationship with the number of layers used in the reinforcement.

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the coagulation of particles in oil accelerated by the action of an a.c. electric field. The ultimate goal of the investigation is to develop a high-performance electrostatic filter for insulating liquids. In order to reveal the coagulation mechanism and find out the mechanical conditions suitable for the coagulation, the effects of various factors on the coagulation are investigated using spherical silica particles of 2, 4 and 6 μm in diameter. The coagulating state of the silica particles in oil is observed using a video-microscope with a CCD (charge coupled device) camera under various conditions. It is shown that the coagulation is better promoted with larger particles and that the particles having a small diameter are not easily coagulated. It is also shown that the oscillation amplitude relative to the double-layer thickness dominates the coagulation phenomenon. The experimental results suggest that when the surface charge on a particle and the charge in the surrounding double layer are appropriately polarized by the influence of the a.c. electric field, the coagulation is accelerated by virtue of a (relatively) strong attractive force acting between two-particle-double-layer pairs.
