scholarly journals Strength characteristics of Quaternary Mix Concrete

By handling the cement, bagasse ash, silica fume and metakaolin as partial replacement of cement of cement a quaternary mix concrete could be achieved. Various percentages of replaced materials were considered for analysis. These three different materials consist of high amount of alumina ion and silica percentage. Use of these materials enhances the microstructure of concrete and helps to attain less permeable concrete. Physical and chemical properties of materials analyzed, and partially replaced with cement in different proportions such as HSC [5B, 10B, 15B, 20B] and HSC [5S, 10S, 15S, 20S] and HSC [5M, 10M]. The cubes of [100mm x 100mm x 100 mm] size were cast and tested. After confirming the characteristic compressive strength from cubes, optimum values (HSC 10B, HSC 15S and HSC 5M) has been taken. These values have been mixed up into three propositions (QBSM1, QBSM2 and QBSM3). Compressive strength results show that optimum percentage was found to be QBSM2 (10% SCBA+ 10% SF + 5% MK).

In this paper, the phosphogypsum-based salic composite binder is the main study object, the particle size distribution, chemical composition and mineral composition of the components have been tested and analysed; According to the ratio experiments, a rational proportion range of the phosphogypsum-based Si-Al composite binder has been summarized; meanwhile, experiments have been designed for composite binder’s activity characterization by using the method of activity rate Kª , and the extent which the Kª value is affected by the external environment is Temperature > Curing time > Fineness; then scattered points on the dissolved quantity of active Al2O3、SiO2 and the compressive strength at 90d is simulated by Matlab, and simulation results show that the compressive strength at 90d linearly increased with the increasing of dissolved quantity of active Al2O3、SiO2.

Victorian men placed fig leaves over those parts of classical statues they didn't want their wives and children to see. Yet it's easy for someone looking at those statues today to assume that the leaves play some part in the Roman and Greek concepts of physical beauty.A fig leaf may be the most blatant breach of an artist's original inspiration you'll encounter in a museum, but it's not likely to be the only one. Other more subtle transgressions are displayed in nearly every gallery and museum in the country—but unmasking them takes more than just a discerning eye. For instance, did the 17th-century painter see the world as quiet and subdued, or have his bright colors been muted by a 19th-century varnish? Did the classical sculptor intend his work to have an even, green patina, or has the Renaissance infatuation with antiquity allowed this corrosion to hide his varying shades of burnished bronze? Did Leonardo conceive the face of the Christ of “The Last Supper” as speaking, or silent, as his overpainters would have it?“Modern conservators really make us think about objects, says Carol Faill, administrator of college collections at Franklin & Marshall College. “There's been a consciousness raising about objects' own integrity.” Art and science are being used together as never before to gain an understanding of the physical and chemical properties of materials and their role in the fine arts.

AbstractIn recent years classical nondestructive testing techniques for detecting macroscopic defects have been augmented by more sophisticated nondestructive evaluation methods for characterizing the microstructure and associated physical and chemical properties of materials. This paper will briefly describe several such nondestructive evaluation methods developed in the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) at The Johns Hopkins University.

In this study, supplementary cementing materials (SCM), such as nanosilica and microsilica, have been evaluated for optimal levels of replacement as a blending material in cement. The physical and chemical properties of these materials were first analyzed, then the properties of neat samples, mortar samples, and concrete samples were investigated. Mainly this study focused on the workability and compressive strength with different mixes at different ages of neat, mortar and concrete mixes. Test results obtained in this study indicate that up to 5% nanosilica and 10% of microsilica could be advantageously blended with cement without adversely affecting the strength. However, optimum levels of these materials are 1-3% of nanosilica and 3-8% of microsilica when we consider the strength of concrete.

Nanoparticles have recently been used as fillers or additives in materials for different desired applications. Due to the environmental concerns and rising of nanomaterials usages worldwide, nanoparticles have been focused in research and development. An increase in consumption is indicated by various applications of nanomaterials for both commercial and domestic applications. Nanoparticles own special physical and chemical properties which help in modifying performance of materials or final products. The characterisation of nanoparticles includes crystallographic structure, surface morphology, particles’ size and functional groups. Nano clays and metal oxides of titanium and silica are selected nanoparticles to be discussed on their properties that affect the performance of materials. Along with the studies investigating the properties of the nanoparticles, an interesting concern is to discover the changes in properties of materials when nanoparticles are being added. Properties include mechanical, thermal and physiochemical are improved due to the presence of the nanoparticles in the materials’ matrices, thus existing the applications for the food packaging, the lubricant oils and as the antimicrobial agent. This paper reviews the physical and chemical properties of nano clay, silica oxide and titanium oxide as well as the enhanced properties of materials when being filled with nanoparticles in specific applications.

Clay as natural pozzolan is found in the north of the city of Sebha, Libya. Sebha clay is relatively high in silica, and its physical and chemical properties could be referred to as ASTM C618 class N. Sonication treatment is carried out and the treated Sebha clay is used as a mineral admixture in the Portland cement mortar. Horn method 20 kHz frequencies with different powers and different times are used in the Sonication treated. The particle size distributions (PSD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) imaging are used to understand the mechanism of pozzolanic improvement of the Sebha clay after treatment by sonication. This paper shows the physical and chemical properties of sonication treat Sebha clay. The effect of magnitude of sonic power on pozzolanic activity of treated kaolin is investigated. The main aim of the present research is to study the strength characteristics of cement mortar using Sebha natural clay after sonication is treated as a partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement OPC. The parameters are investigated, including compressive strengths .The results show enhancement in particle size and pozzolanic activity of treated kaolin, with increase in sonic power and in the time.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.
