Investigation of Cement Mortar and Steel used in Reinforced Concrete in Nigeria
(2014-12-15)
The study explores the investigation of the chemical composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of steel and cement mortar used in reinforced concrete. The compositions and mechanical properties of the locally ...
Co2 Corrosion of the Welded Joint of an X65 Steel: Analysis of Surface Film Formed
(2014-12-12)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion, also known as sweet corrosion of steels has increased in recent years due to the injection of CO2 into oil wells in order to increase oil recovery and production. Despite the fact that carbon ...
The Impact of Low Density Polyethylene (water sachets) on the Mechanical Property of Cement Mortar
(2014-12-12)
Many building collapsed cases have been reported throughout the West African regions. It is recorded that during some of these subsidences, many lives are lost and the vast majority end up in hospitals and clinics with ...
Corrosion Behaviour of Low Carbon Steel used in Oil and Gas aboveground Storage Tanks
(2014-12-15)
The cost and losses associated with corrosion annually is approximately $ 276 billion or 3.1% of the GDP in the USA, 3 - 4% of GNP in Australia, Great Britain, Japan and other countries. The associated cost and losses ...
Induced Sickling of Erythrocytes Via Bending and the Effect of Mechanical Properties on Cell Pore Entry
(2014-12-15)
Patients living with sickle cell disease are perpetually plagued with painful crisis episodes, caused by vascular occlusion. Over time, this leads to oxygen deprivation and the eventual damage of starved tissues and organs. ...
