Evaluating thermal conductivity of desert sand under different initial physical properties
Abstract: Analyzing the thermal conductivity of soil as a function of other parameters is necessary to understand the flow of heat around earth-to-water heat exchanger. Thermal conductivity depends...
Results from the GeoERA MUSE shallow geothermal project – UK Cardiff pilot area
Abstract: Shallow geothermal energy systems deployment will play an important part in decarbonisation of heating and cooling of buildings. This trend will stimulate research into ground physical,...
High frictional stability of braking material reinforced by Basalt fibers
Abstract: Frictional stability is a more accurate description of the friction state than coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate. This work aims to develop basalt fiber (BF)-reinforced braking...
Glass-ceramic foams produced from zeolite-poor rock (Tokaj)
Abstract: This study evaluated the possibility of producing innovative glass-ceramic foams from zeolite-poor rock (Tokaj, Hungary) using alkali-activation and reactive sintering techniques. The...
3D printing of cordierite materials from raw reactive mixtures
Abstract: Porous cordierite materials are 3D printed by robocasting from two kaolin containing raw materials mixtures. Water suspensions of both mixtures at variable solid concentrations...
DEVELOPMENT AND THERMO-MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF CEMENT-BASED COMPOSITE FOR THE RUNWAY CONCRETE OF F-35B JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER
Abstract: The current study aims at increasing the strength and heat resistance of concrete that can be used in airport pavements for vertical take-off and landing of new generation F-35B combat...
Recycling of marble cutting waste additives in fired clay brick structure: a statistical approach to process parameters
Abstract: Within the scope of the present study, the marble cutting waste, which is an industrial waste of different sizes (< 75 µm and < 150 µm), was incorporated into the clay...
Evaluation of Epoxidized Soybean Oil as a Green Admixture for Biobased Polymer–Impregnated Cement Pastes: Comparison with Dioctyl Terephthalate
Abstract: Biobased green plasticizers are preferred in the production of plastics in light of the environmental and human health issues posed by traditional plasticizers. Epoxidized soybean oil is an...
A multi-scale methods comparison to provide granitoid rocks thermal conductivity
Granitoid rocks are frequently used in modern construction and restoration, hence the importance of knowing their petrophysical properties. These rocks find several applications in various types of...
