Achieving high performance engineering materials needs deep insight to the application of the related materials. High strength self compacting concrete could be one of the most important structural components in our life. Production of these materials could increase the durability and life time of the related equipments. One of the additive materials to cement paste to achieve this aim is nanoparticle. In this book, strength assessments and water permeability in terms of coefficient of water absorption of high performance self compacting concrete containing different amount of Al2O3...

In This book, Charpy impact energy of functionally graded steels produced by electroslag remelting been modeled analytically and numerically. To build the models, the yield stress of each graded layer has been related to its density of dislocations through mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity theory and then by assuming Holloman relation for the corresponding stress-strain curve of each layer, tensile strength and tensile strain of the constituent layers were determined via numerical method. In addition, a modification method for taking into account the strain rate has been proposed....

Nowadays, most industrial slags are being used without taking full advantages of their characteristics or disposed rather than used. Ground granulated blast furnace has been used for many years as a supplementary cementitious material in Portland cement concrete. This waste material typically replaces 35-65% Portland cement in concrete. Thus a 50% replacement of each ton of Portland cement would result in a reduction of approximately 500,000 t of CO2. On the other hand, using nanoparticles in concrete specimens is a relatively new concept which was proceeds over the past decade....
