The results indicated that as the proportion of larger size aggregate increases in the mix, the local porosity at the ITZ increases and the overall durability decreases.
The government should evaluate the cost and effectiveness of these standards in increasing durability, decreasing maintenance and energy costs, and lowering costs associated with children's exposure to hazards.
High mixture temperatures also affect important properties of the hardened concrete such as decreased ultimate strength, increased tendency for moisture and thermal shrinkage cracks, decreased material durability, and decreased uniformity of surface appearance (Samarai et al. 1983; Schindler and McCullough 2002).
These materials can increase abrasion strength or durability and decrease permeability (Shafieyzadeh 2013).
These materials increase abrasion strength or durability and decrease permeability (Bhikshma et al. 2009; Rozenbaum et al. 2005; Wang et al. 2005; Bhanjaa and Sengupta 2003), and Abrams' formulation needs to be modified or the validity of this relationship for concrete with supplementary materials (silica fume (SF), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), etc).
Generally, the values of mechanical and durability properties decreases when applying different replacements of natural aggregates with recycled aggregates in both fine and coarse granulometries.
In lead it improves strength and durability and decreases the corrosive action of sulfuric acid.
Each machine has a power meter, which serves as a measurement of the machine's durability; it decreases when the machine collides with land mines, the side of the track or another vehicle.
Chloride erosion is the main factor to decrease durability of concrete, it is fairly important to control and monitor chloride in concrete structure.
The CoSe2 NS@CP electrode showed both excellent catalytic activity with overall current density of 100 mA cm−2 at 2.13 V and tremendous durability with negligible decrease in potential at a constant current of 20 mA cm−2 for more than 30 hours.
