Numerical Simulation for Thermal Shock Resistance of Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics Considering the Effects of Initial Stress Field by Weiguo Li, Tianbao Cheng, Dingyu Li, Daining Fang

“…The results show that the external constraint has an approximately linear influence on the critical rupture temperature difference of UHTCs. The external constraint prepares a compressive stress field in the structure because of the predefined temperature field, and this compressive stress field relieves the tension stress in the structure when it is cooled down and then it improves the TSR of UHTCs. …”

The Suitability of Recycled Domestic Wastewater in Plain Concrete Production. by Orishaba, James

“…Results indicated that the slumps for M10 concrete were between 38 and 42mm concrete mixed with fresh water having the same slump with that mixed with secondary treated wastewater, for M15 concrete were between 33.7 and 46, concrete mixed with fresh water having 4mm slump that that mixed with secondary treated wastewater, and for M20 concrete were 40.3 and 44, concrete mixed with fresh water having 0.7mm slump less than that mixed with secondary treated wastewater The compressive strength of concrete mixed with secondary treated wastewater was in close proximity with that produced with fresh water mixed concrete, that mixed and cured by fresh/portable water being slightly higher than that mixed and cured by treated wastewater but the difference was very small. …”
