One of the main issues regarding the use of charcoal in metallurical processes is its mechanical strength, which is much lower than coke. There is no defined standard to determine charcoal compression strength, and the ...

The low resistance to compression and flexural of conventional earth techniques such as adobe in the occurrence of earthquakes causes the immediate collapse or failure of structures built with this material. These deficiencies ...

In an effort to calibrate assessment methods of existing earth structures, a new database with compression and bending tests on unbaked earth specimens was assembled. The data-collection database includes 2670 tests with ...

Masonry walls and columns are common structural members that typically resist compressive loads, with a number of such members being required to resist combined axial load and out-of-plane bending due to direct out-of-plane ...

This research focused on portland blast-furnace slag cement high-performance concrete (HPC), with specified 28-day compressive strengths between 60 to 110 MPa. Compressive and flexural strength, elastic modulus, abrasion ...

This paper aimed to evaluate the long-term compressive strength development of the sewage sludge ash/metakaolin (SSA/MK)–based geopolymer. SSA/MK–based geopolymeric mortars and pastes were produced at 25ºC with different ...

Currently, artificial neural networks are being widely used in various fields of science and engineering. Neural networks have the ability to learn through experience and existing examples, and then generate solutions and ...
