Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Author: Wade H. Shafer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461528321
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 36 (thesis year 1991) a total of 11,024 thesis titles from 23 Canadian and 161 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 36 reports theses submitted in 1991, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Cracking Due to Alkali-silica Reaction and Its Effect on Durability Properties of Concrete

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Around the world, many structures built during the last few decades have suffered from damage due to alkali-silica reaction (ASR). Some of these structures were considered structurally inadequate and have been replaced or repaired. Most of the others are structurally safe but the concrete might have failed as a protective barrier to the reinforcement. ASR causes microcracks in concrete which may lead to inserviceability of structures by providing easy access for other deterioration processes to take place. This thesis work investigates the effect of ASR-induced microcracks on the durability of concrete. Specifically, mass transfer properties and freeze-thaw resistance of damaged, non-air-entrained concrete were assessed. Due to the hydrophilic natural of the alkali-silica gel, it was found that the role it plays in concrete durability is significant. Microcracks caused by ASR increased the rate of diffusion of chloride and gas permeability through concrete. However, it reduced water permeability. The gel exists in the pores and microcracks may mitigate the detrimental effect of cracks on mass transfer. Nevertheless, the net effect is unfavourable to the durability of concrete. The expansion due to ASR had an adverse effect on the freeze-thaw resistance of concrete. The relative dynamic modulus of samples with expansion levels of 0.092%, 0.122% and 0.205% dropped below 60% in less than 50 cycles. Other samples with lower level of expansion lasted about 150 cycles before 60% of relative dynamic modulus was reached. Further research using samples with higher expansion in mass transfer tests and air-entrained concrete in freeze-thaw test is recommended by the author.
