Tests covering fresh (workability loss, bleeding and moisture loss), engineering (strength development, modulus of elasticity, drying shrinkage and creep) and durability (absorption, permeability, carbonation rates and chloride diffusion) properties of these concretes were then carried out.
These indicate that the a-C Si Al ca-C Si Aled coating might be a good candidate as low tribologicoatingsture sensitivity mightial in engineering applications.
Soil moisture is a key engineering variable with major influence on ecological and hydrological processes as well as in climate, weather, agricultural, civil and geotechnical applications.
In engineering practice, moisture absorption test is generally used for quality control purposes and to measure the degradation of the quality for the composite materials.
Comprehensive laboratory tests were conducted to characterize their workabilities and engineering properties, including moisture susceptibility, stiffness modulus, dynamic modulus, and rutting and fatigue resistance.
Over the past 10 years, much work has been conducted in South China University of Technology for the research on membrane-based heat and moisture recovery, from fundamentals to engineering applications.
However, Reidenouer [53] reported that materials of Gs below 2.65 usually deteriorate at engineering sites, mainly on moisture influx due to weakness and non-durability.
Soil moisture content has paramount importance in dictating engineering, agronomic, geological, ecological, biological and hydrological characteristics of the soil mass.
This is primarily achieved by engineering the amount of compaction and moisture of the waste fill.
Soil moisture variation with respect to depth directly affects the engineering properties of soil and the health state of plants.
The reliable evaluation of moisture transfer in porous materials is essential in many engineering applications, among which building science.
