Sentence examples for decrease shrinkage from inspiring English sources

Fibers and expansive agent were used to decrease shrinkage, control cracks and enhance microstructure of the concrete.

The volumetric decrease (shrinkage) of methacrylate-based composite materials could be responsible for the increase in the push-out bond strength of those materials to the FP through the tightening of the contact between post and CR.

Tin decreases shrinkage under argon but activates shrinkage under nitrogen.

Finer glass particles led to an increase in the reactivity of glass with lime, and hence improved compressive strength and decreased shrinkage.

In the higher temperature region, the still relatively high but gradually decreasing shrinkage is related principally to the diminished disorientation process and a sequential crystallization process.

When the value of α increases, shrinkage tends to increase, and when α decreases, shrinkage decreases and approximates BIRR when α=0.

In addition, increasing FA content can also increase tensile capacity and decrease drying shrinkage and restrained shrinkage of ECC specimens.

An increase in the proportion of lactone results in an increased curing rate, a decrease in shrinkage after gelation and a decrease in the glass transition temperature (Tg).

In addition, adding some steel slag powders to MKPC can significantly decrease the shrinkage deformation of hardened MKPC paste, which should be attributed to improvement of pore structure and more compact structure of hardened MKPC paste.

The increase of porosity and decrease of shrinkage with increasing Zn2+ ion content are related to the rapid densification of ferrite samples and also to the difference in specific gravity of the ferrite components since NiO (6.72 g cm-3) is heavier than ZnO (5.6 g cm-3) [25].

It was established that MWCNTs used as additive in NAC and in AAC production process acts as nucleators of crystallization influencing the hydration process and structure formation leading to increase in crystallinity of hardened binding material, as well as to increase in flexural and compressive strength of concretes and decrease in shrinkage during heating.
