The paper studies the influence of aggregates and fillers with negative and positive electrical surface properties on the corrosion resistance of concrete. The advantage of resistance of fine-grained concrete on marble sand in comparison with concrete on quartz sand, regardless of the type of aggressive environment, is established. At the same time, the stability of samples of powdered concrete with 10 and 30% of fine-grained filler changed little when replacing the quartz powder with marble one. It is shown that the resistance coefficients of powdered concrete samples with quartz filler (10%) do not differ from the resistance coefficients of samples of a similar composition with crushed marble filler, and with an increase in the dosage of the filler (30 %) slightly exceed. It was found that in powder concretes without aggregates, the contact layer between the cement matrix and the aggregate is absent, so the composition of the mineral powder plays a much smaller role in the corrosion processes of cement stone. The obtained results allowed establishing that electrokinetic phenomena play a secondary role, and the main influence on the stability of fine-grained concrete is the processes of pore colmation by chemical reactions, as well as the interaction of the surface layers of the aggregate with the cement matrix.

The method for adding into the cement matrix composition the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the form of stabilized suspensions for their even allocation in its volume is observed in this article. The aim of the article is to study the aggregative and sedimentary stability of the CNTs suspensions in the presence of the plasticizer based on polycarboxylate under the ultrasonic effect, to determine the kinetic addictions of coagulation, to describe the suspension stabilization models and mechanisms according to the modern theory and to determine the possibility of using CNTs as suspensions for portland cement modification. The object of research is Portland cement, CNts and polycarboxylate-based plasticizer. Mechanism of stabilization of the CNT water suspension with polycarboxylate based plasticizer due to fixing plasticizer functional groups on the nanoparticle surface is proposed. The non-polar part of the plasticizer provides the formation of high-viscosity streak between the CNTs particles and the dispersion medium, and the polar part provides the formation of the double electrical layer (DEL), which supports the formation of the CNT micelle. The Model of the CNT micelle is described. It is established that the ultrasonic dispersion provides the stability of the CNTs suspensions for seven days and more. It is shown that when the stabilized polycarboxylate-based plasticizers of the CNT are introduced in the form of suspensions into the cement paste composition, they are evenly distributed in the volume of the cement system. This causes the production of cement stone with enhanced exploitative properties.

Contact is typically made to source/drain regions of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) by use of TiSi2 or CoSi2 layers followed by AI(Cu) metal lines. A silicide layer is used to reduce contact resistance. TiSi2 or CoSi2 are chosen for the contact layer because these silicides have low resistivities (~12-15 μΩ-cm for TiSi2 in the C54 phase, and ~10-15 μΩ-cm for CoSi2). CoSi2 has other desirable properties, such as being thermally stable up to >1000°C for surface layers and >1100°C for buried layers, and having a small lattice mismatch with silicon, -1.2% at room temperature. During CoSi2 growth, Co is the diffusing species. Electrode shorts and voids which can arise if Si is the diffusing species are therefore avoided. However, problems can arise due to silicide-Si interface roughness (leading to nonuniformity in film resistance) and thermal instability of the resistance upon further high temperature annealing. These problems can be avoided if the CoSi2 can be grown epitaxially on silicon.

The Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) site of Yiftahel, Israel, contains abundant plaster floors. We surveyed the states of preservation of the plasters using an infrared spectroscopic assay that characterizes the extent of disorder of the atoms in the calcite crystal lattice. We identified the 3 best-preserved plaster samples that had disorder signatures most similar to modern plaster. We then studied the surface layers, fine-grained matrices, and large aggregates of these samples using micromorphology, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy, stable carbon and radiocarbon concentrations. Even though some of the plaster components have a geogenic appearance in micromorphology slides and in FTIR spectra, the 14C analyses show that all components were exposed to high temperatures and as a result were equilibrated with the 14C content of the atmosphere ∼10,000 yr ago. This implies that the plasters at Yiftahel were produced entirely from heat-altered calcite. We also show that these plasters have undergone significant diagenesis. The plaster component with the most disordered atomic signature, and hence the most similar in this respect to modern plaster, did indeed produce a 14C date close to the expected age.

Introduction. The use of limestone in cement compositions as an additional cementing agent solves both environmental and economic problems, namely, reduction of construction costs. In this regard, the study of the properties of the granulometric composition and volumetric content of cement composites, containing limestone, becomes increasingly important. The mission of this research is to optimize the properties of composite materials containing Portland cement and limestone by changing the granulometric composition of flour limestone. Materials and methods. Limestone, having three different Blaine milling fineness values of 250, 300 and 450 m2/kg, was used; its content reached 10, 15, 25 and 35 %. Cement and sand mortars were applied for testing purposes. The influence of the granulometric composition of limestone on the workability and compressive strength of composite cement was determined. Results. The effect of limestone on the limit shear stress becomes more pronounced when the amount of limestone increases to 25 and 35 %. This is most noticeable for limestone with a high content of fine fractions of 5–20 µm. The use of finely milled limestone increases the initial strength of the composite material. By adding 10 and 15 % of such limestone we can increase the strength by 16–20 %, and supplementary 25–35 % of limestone increases strength by 5–8 %. Strength enhancement is due to the reactivity of limestone and formation of calcium hydrocarbon aluminate 3CaO∙Al2O3∙СаСО3∙12H2O, which promotes formation of the crystal framework of the cement matrix. Additional formation of crystalline hydrates in the initial coagulation structure deteriorates the mortar workability, but increases its strength. Conclusions. The use of coarse-grained limestone significantly improves mortar workability, while the use of fine-grained limestone increases its content without reducing its strength. The granulometric composition of ground limestone shall be as close as possible to the granulometric composition of cement for the properties of composite materials containing Portland cement and limestone to be optimized.

the article proposes a rational method for processing 3D printing concrete scrap using vibration equipment, which allows obtaining a multicomponent building material with minimal electricity consumption. As a crite-rion for the degree of grinding of concrete scrap, it is proposed to use the specific surface area of the finely dispersed part of concrete scrap, which should correspond to 400-500 m2/kg. The possibility of reusing the resulting product instead of the traditional fine aggregate of quartz sand is shown. It was found that the con-crete scrap without the addition of Portland cement hardens, reaching up to 48% of the compressive strength of the control samples by 28 days. When 10% of the binder CEM I 42.5 N was added to the concrete scrap processing product, the compressive strength of fine-grained concrete increased by 106.6%, and 20% of Portland cement - by 112.2 %, compared to the strength of control samples of a similar composition on tra-ditional quartz sand after 28 days of hardening. It is noted that this is primarily due to the weak contact zone of quartz sand and the cement matrix of concrete. The use of the product of processing concrete scrap al-lows obtaining building composites based on it with the complete exclusion of natural raw materials

The preparation in the jet mill of finely ground slag (FGS) from the waste of metallurgical production granulated blast-furnace slag, the obtaining of slag suspensions, and the behavior of FGS particles in an aqueous dispersion medium are considered in the paper. It was found that FGS particles in the suspension form micelles of two types with negative (micelle 1) and positive (micelle 2) charges of FGS surface. To increase the aggregative and sedimentation stability of FGS particles in suspensions, studies were carried out using ultrasonic dispersion. The results of investigations on the detection of optimal dispersion parameters for slag suspensions are presented. It was found that in the absence of temperature control, the process of coagulation of slag particles is accelerated and aggregative and sedimentation stability of suspensions of FGS is reduced. The slag particles in the suspension form aggregates that lead to a deterioration of the strength characteristics of the cement stone using suspensions of FGS. Optimal parameters of ultrasonic dispersion of slag suspensions are established: the frequency of ultrasonic vibrations is equal to 44 kHz; the dispersion temperature is 25 ± 2 °C; the dispersion time is 15 min. It was found that the application of ultrasonic dispersion to slag suspensions with the observance of dispersion conditions can increase the aggregative and sedimentation stability of FGS suspension by 2-3 times in comparison with the mechanical mixing of suspensions. The strength of samples with suspensions of FGS prepared using UST under the recommended dispersing conditions increased by 19 to 39% in the first day; for 28 days of hardening - by 19 - 36%, which allows using slag suspensions in the production of cement composite materials and concretes based on them.

The fills of barrier dams commonly result from high-speed landslides debris flow. In this paper, four model tests were conducted to study the effect of fill size on the stability of barrier dams. The failure time, failure mode, pore pressures and earth pressures were then observed and analyzed. The results show that barrier dams composed of coarse-grains or well-graded fills are more stable than those composed of fine-grained fills; coarse-grain-dams are more sensitive to the rising of water level than fine-grain-dams; the failure mode of coarse-grain-dams is usually overflowing-erosion and the barrier dams usually fail from the top of dams; the failure mode of fine-grain-dams is sliding and the barrier dams fail initially from the slope downstream.

ABSTRACTRapid solidification processing (RSP) of TiAl-base alloys often results in the formation of metastable crystalline products (e.g., Ti3Al) A key parameter controlling both the solidification pathway and the stability of the metastable structure is alloy chemistry. This study focuses upon the influence of minor alloy additions on the microstructure and properties of Ti52Al48 alloys produced by RSP. While alloys having minor Ta addi ions (<1 at.%) maintain near-equilibrium solidification structures similar to the binary alloy, the addition of Cr at a level of 5 at.% results in a nearly 100 vol.% metastable Ti3Al structure containing a fine dispersion of TiCr2 grain boundary precipitates. These precipitates limit grain growth during elevated temperature exposure, maintaining the fine (TiAl) grain size created during decomposition of the metastable product structure. Mechanical property evaluation of the consolidated RSP material indicates a greatly reduced flow stress for the fine grained Cr modified alloys. A preliminary analysis attributes this to the reduction in grain size and enhanced elevated temperature diffusion rates for the Cr containing TiAl-base alloys.

Abstract An effective method for increasing the aggregate stability of non-autoclave heat-insulating foam concrete is proposed. This material is prepared using a two-stage technology on a turbulent-type installation. An increase in the stability of the foam in the mortar mixture by 9.5-23% has been established. An increase in the viscosity of the foam concrete mixture by 13.5% was revealed. Wollastonite and diopside are actively involved in the formation of a stable structure of foam concrete and are structurally modifying centers. The introduction of mineral additives contributes to the formation of a homogeneous stable structure of non-autoclave foam concrete. Thus, an increase in the stability of the cellular system in the technology of non-autoclave cement-ash foam concrete is possible due to the control of the processes of structure formation when using dispersed mineral additives of wollastonite and diopside. Due to the structural-modifying effect of additives as crystallization centers for neoplasms, a more complete hydration of the cement and a strong contact of the additives with the cement stone should be ensured
