In these tests, water-free polymer concrete made of 90–95% of Australian Lunar Soil Simulant (ALRS-1); which is equivalent to JSC-1A. This simulant was mixed with 5–10% of thermoplastic polypropylene powder. This polymer had a low density (900 kg/m3) and melting temperature (∼...
Placement of Thermocouple in beam Full size image 2.6 Fresh Concrete Properties A slump test was conducted to assess the GPC's flowing capabilities. In addition to the flow diameter of the concrete, the resistance against segregation was measured using the V-funnel test. Further, one of the mos...

Wide beams are commonly used in reinforced concrete (RC) structures for architectural considerations such as facilitating the placement of services and providing adequate clear height. However, behaviour of these beams is not as efficient as normal width beams due to the small structural depth. ...
I can't even imagine not having them, how on earth do you control the placement of the top bars? Most footings in my area don't have top bars. And, in most cases were top steel is required, you'll see some standoff ties to create the separation. With larger footings, I imagine...
Results indicated that CAC (calcium aluminate cement) mortar, Australian cement, and incorporation of an antimicrobial agent can improve resistance to MIC under moderate MIC conditions (i.e., surface pH>2.0). Rapid deterioration of specimens exposed to more aggressive conditions in the chamber ...

In the case of a precast class S1 structure in an XC2 or XC3 environment, the resulting calculated nominal concrete cover thickness could correspond to the placement of reinforcements in a layer 10 to 15 mm below the surface. Based on the results of this study, a crystalline coating could ...
