A relationship between interfacial bond strength and electrical conductivity of the transition zone has been developed. Microstructural factors affecting the bond strength of a non-porous aggregate-portland cement paste interface are elucidated. The results indicate that two principal factors affect

The microstructure of the transition zone between steel and cement paste, and the effect of replacing portland cement by two levels of condensed silica fume was studied. Even with a high level of cement replacement (16%), some calcium hydroxide crystals with preferred orientation are formed near the
This research programme is based on a mixing technique in which concrete is produced by adding water at two separate times.In the first stage; aggregate and a water content of 25% of the specified weight of cement were mixed for 30 sec; cement was then added and mixed for a further 60 sec. In the se
The significance of two interface arginine residues on the structural integrity of an obligatory dimeric enzyme thymidylate synthase (TS) from Lactobacillus casei was investigated by thermal and chemical denaturation. While the R178F mutant showed apparent stability to thermal denaturation by its de
