Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is an enhanced fibrous and cementitious concrete with high compressive strength (120–250 MPa) particle packing density (0.825–0.855, tensile strength (15–20 MPa) ...

One of the challenges confronting oil and gas operators — especially those working in areas with low fracture gradients or weak formations such as the Delaware, Anadarko and Permian Basins — is ...

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

A new generation of refractory alloys with excellent high-temperature performance is urgently demanded for aero-engines, gas turbines, and nuclear power plants. As the service temperature of their hot ...

Concrete is an essential construction material that is used globally. Combining coring and rebound surveys provides the most efficient and cost-effective method of assessing in situ concrete strength, ...

Los Angeles could have to rebuild over 30% of the city. California has fires, earthquakes, high winds and other risks. Replacing hundreds of billions in residential and commercial buildings and roads ...
