Kenmerken:- Richt zich op de opkomende gebied beschreven als duurzaamheid wetenschap en technologie, met inbegrip van groene chemie en industriële ecologie- Bakent de eigenschappen van water, zijn rol in de omgeving en als een groene, hernieuwbare energiebron, en de duurzaamheid…
This text deals with the estimation, prediction and improvement of the durability of building structures and constructions from composite materials with inorganic, organic and mixed binders. It describes a method for improving the durability of structures and constructions.
The study investigates how museum and gallery buildings can be designed to give functional longevity and appeal. It considers this in terms of their design and relation to their surroundings and use in the context of changing social, cultural, political and economic factors. Pos…
Adhesive joining is an attractive alternative to conventional joining methods, such as welding and mechanical fastening. The benefits of adhesive bonding include: the ability to form lightweight, high stiffness structures; joining of different types of materials; better fatigue …
Recent increase in the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite, especially for high temperature applications in aerospace primary and secondary structures along with wind energy and automotive industries, have generated new challenges to predict its failure mecha…
In this study, analysis of durability and structural behavior of concrete under prescribed coupled chemo-mechanical conditions was proposed, formulated and implemented in a computational framework. The governing mathematical equations that idealize the tripartite physical-chemic…
Mechanical vehicle systems operate in highly variable loading environments. Anticipated and unanticipated degradations occur in components and subsystems due to the variability in static and dynamic loading. Degradation can lead to excessive warranty costs and overly aggressive …
In this research study, an attempt is made to address limitations in soil stabilization. Incorporation of the clay mineralogy aspects of the soils into the stabilization design process was first addressed, followed by durability studies to address the long-term effectiveness of …
