Experimental work has been conducted to evaluate compressive strength, flexural strength, density and durability properties like water absorption and abrasion resistance for the different proportions (0%, 4%, 4.5%, 5% and 5.5%) of crumb rubber in concrete.
Fresh, hardened and durability properties were evaluated in terms of workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, density and water absorption.
Durability, mass density, and energy density of torrefied biochar pellets decrease with increasing dry torrefaction temperature.
Analysis of variance using randomized complete block design with factorial was used to perform analysis for each of the outputs: hardness, durability, bulk density, and unit density of the pellets.
In this data article, laboratory experimental investigation results carried out at National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM) on moisture content, machine speed, die diameter of the rig, and the outputs (hardness, durability, bulk density, and unit density of the pellets) at different levels of cassava pellets were observed.
For each concentrate manufacture, durability, hardness, density, and percentage of fines were determined at the feed mill, silo, feeder, and spillage collectors.
At a later stage, serious problems may arise with respect to durability and density, and efficient force transmission cannot be guaranteed, a situation which is critical regarding dynamic loads.
Further studies indicated that when maize cob particles were preheatedto 85°C before pressing at 150 MPa, the durability and density were raisedto 90% and above 1,100 kg/m3, respectively [9].
The physical and chemical properties of biomass pellets based on wood, willow, miscanthus, wheat, barley and rape straws were each tested using European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) standard methods to determine their calorific, ash, chlorine, sulphur, nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen contents as well as durability, bulk density and moisture.
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite panels are particularly attractive as bridge decks due to their high strength, low density, and durability, which are of importance in the bridge industry.
