The cold ramming paste for aluminum electrolysis has been studied using electrically calcined anthracite as aggregate, medium temperature pitch and anthracene oil as binder, metallic silicon powder as additive in the paper. The effects of addition of silicon on volume density, compressive strength, electrical resistivity, shrinkage value have been studied. The results show that: volume density, compressive strength of cold ramming paste are increased firstly and then decreased with the addition of silicon increasing, and electrical resistivity, shrinkage value are decreased firstly and then increased with the addition of silicon increasing. So when the addition of silicon is 3%, the physical properties are preferable.

Cold ramming paste was successfully synthesized used electro-calcined anthracite (ECA) and artificial graphite as aggregate and phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin as binder. Synthesized paste was measured by electrical resistivity, compressive strength, Infrared Spectrum (IR) and Thermo Gravimetry (TG), etc. The results show that the synthesized paste has some excellent physical properties such as low electrical resistivity and high compressive strength, all of which can meet industry requirements. Thermal decomposition and condensation of the paste can be divided into four stages by TG. Finally, it is found that the synthesized cold ramming paste is an ecofriendly material by the toxicity measurement of gas phase escaping from the heated paste

We present here a laboratory-based experimental protocol that seeks to establish and characterize the relationship between ground-penetrating radar attributes and the mechanical properties (density, porosity, and compressive strength) of typical industry concrete mixes. The experimental data consist of ground-penetrating radar attributes from 900 MHz radargrams that correspond to simultaneously measured physical properties of Portland cement concrete, alkali-activated concrete, and cement mortar. Appropriate regression models are trained and tested on this data set to predict each physical property from ground-penetrating radar attributes. From a small selection of individual attributes, including total phase and intensity, trained random forest regression models predict porosity ( R2 = 0.83 from the instantaneous amplitude), density ( R2 = 0.67 from the intensity attribute), and compressive strength ( R2 = 0.51 from instantaneous amplitude). These novel relationships between physical properties and ground-penetrating radar attributes indicate that material properties could be predicted from the attributes of ordinary ground-penetrating radar scans of concrete.

<p>When faced with the problems of aging infrastructure and historic constructions, there are many unknowns such as physical properties and arrangements of materials. This information is necessary for estimating the capacity, safety, and overall condition and for ensuring successful maintenance or repair of the structure. Often, this information is only available through invasive means, which can be unsightly, legally prohibited, or too expensive. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a noninvasive assessment tool successful at infrastructure inspection, feature detection, and condition assessments. An experiment was designed to investigate the ability of GPR to predict the physical properties (compressive strength, young’s modulus, and porosity) of concrete samples. A set of samples with variable properties and mix designs was fabricated. The samples were tested both with traditional methods (physical destructive testing) and by noninvasive GPR scanning at 7, 14, 28, and 56 days. A variety of machine learning approaches were used to investigate correlations between the physical property data and the GPR data, resulting in a model that predicts the density, compressive strength, and porosity of concrete with some success (R<span>2</span>-values between 0.4 and 0.8). This predictive model is currently being further developed and tested on several case studies.</p>

The in situ nitrides bonded MgAl2O4-C refractories were prepared by using high quality fused spinel (MgAl2O4≥ 97%), natural flake graphite (C ≥ 96%) and silicon powder (Si ≥ 98%) as raw materials and the liquid calcium lignosulfonate with a concentration of 1.25 g/ml was used as binder (4 wt%). The effect of sintering temperatures on physical properties and phase compositions were investigated. The results show that β-sialon and α-Si3N4were formed in the samples sintered at 1400°C, 1450°C and 1500°C, and AlON and AlN were formed in the samples sintered at 1550°C. The sample that sintered at 1450°C exhibits the best bulk density and apparent porosity of 2.84 g/cm3 and 14.73%, respectively, and the highest compressive strength

Due to the recent climate change, the colder and longer winter is expected in Korea. Besides, the recent participation agreement on the development of the natural gas pipeline in Russia and construction of the second Korean Antarctic research station, the Jangbogo station changes the research interests from the seasonally frozen ground to the permafrost ground. The recent development of the site investigation techniques using wave propagation and electrical resistivity enabled engineers to evaluate the physical properties of the frozen soils and further correlate them to the mechanical properties. However, the physical properties of the frozen ground change when the water in the soil solidifies to ice; this change is particularly notable between 0 and −10°C. Therefore, the physical property changes due to freezing needs to be investigated in terms of wave propagation characteristics and electrical resistivity with regard to the various freezing temperatures. In this study, the characteristics of wave propagation and electrical resistivity of frozen soils are investigated under various sub-zero temperatures. The characteristics of wave propagations are analyzed in terms of compression and shear wave velocities. The electrical resistivity is measured under various sub-zero temperatures to understand the effects of ice, which will further provide the valuable information about the location of the active layer. Furthermore, the evaluated physical properties can be used as basic data for the evaluation of the mechanical properties such as strength and stiffness.

In the present investigation, the physical, mechanical and durability properties of six concrete mixtures were evaluated, one of conventional concrete (CC) with 100% Portland cement (PC) and five mixtures of Ecofriendly Ternary Concrete (ETC) made with partial replacement of Portland Cement by combinations of sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) and silica fume (SF) at percentages of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50%. The physical properties of slump, temperature, and unit weight were determined, as well as compressive strength, rebound number, and electrical resistivity as a durability parameter. All tests were carried out according to the ASTM and ONNCCE standards. The obtained results show that the physical properties of ETC concretes are very similar to those of conventional concrete, complying with the corresponding regulations. Compressive strength results of all ETC mixtures showed favorable performances, increasing with aging, presenting values similar to CC at 90 days and greater values at 180 days in the ETC-20 and ETC-30 mixtures. Electrical resistivity results indicated that the five ETC mixtures performed better than conventional concrete throughout the entire monitoring period, increasing in durability almost proportionally to the percentage of substitution of Portland cement by the SCBA–SF combination; the ETC mixture made with 40% replacement had the highest resistivity value, which represents the longest durability. The present electrical resistivity indicates that the durability of the five ETC concretes was greater than conventional concrete. The results show that it is feasible to use ETC, because it meets the standards of quality, mechanical resistance and durability, and offers a very significant and beneficial contribution to the environment due to the use of agro-industrial and industrial waste as partial substitutes up to 50% of CPC, which contributes to reduction in CO2 emissions due to the production of Portland cement, responsible for 8% of total emissions worldwide.
