Its swooping matrix of intersecting concrete "flow lines" provide endless amounts of thrilling circulation, but very little usable gallery space on its dynamic, tilting walls.
A matrix of flowing concrete forms, the building melts into its surroundings as if it were made of mercury.
Grouting using cement slurry to fill up the voids in porous matrix of the concrete is the most simple and economical method, requiring less capital investment and skills.
In particular, the highly porous structure and the rough surface property of BA is suitable for forming sufficient voids in the matrix of porous concrete (Kuo et al. 2013; Kim et al. 2014b).
It is considered that this occurred because of the stronger chemical and physical bonds and material densification resulting from the modification paste coated on the interface between the aggregate and cement matrix of L concrete.
It is first demonstrated that a multi-scales approach can be considered and the mortar with particle sizes smaller than 0.60 mm can be regarded as the matrix of the concrete mixtures.
As the web shear element is composed of both concrete and reinforcement, the stiffness matrix [D] is evaluated through the superposition of a stiffness matrix for concrete [D c ] and a stiffness matrix for steel reinforcements [D s ] described as follows: [D] = [D_{c}]+ [D_{s} ] (12).
Such a strategy will involve four distinct operations namely, the development of a highly impermeable concrete matrix, the protection of concrete, the protection of reinforcement, and design for structural integrity.
This chemical reaction takes place within the concrete matrix of structures and causes damage in concrete and tension in reinforcements.
In the passageway between the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 and the A, C and E trains, there is a ceiling, perhaps 20 by 100 feet, of concrete matrix with round indentations.
