    Description: This paper presents an investigation on the effect of clay addition on water permeability and air permeability of concretes. Clay concrete mixes consisted of 0 to 40% clay content incorporated as cement replacement. Flow methods using triaxial cells and air permeameters were used for measuring the injected water and air flows under pressure. It was found that the higher the clay content in the mixture, the greater the permeability. At higher water-cement ratios (w/c), the paste matrix is less dense and easily allows water to ingress into concrete. But at high clay contents of 30 to 40% clay, the variation in permeability was significantly diminished among different concrete mixtures. It was confirmed that air permeability results were higher than the corresponding water permeability values when all permeability coefficients were converted to intrinsic permeability values.

    Description: Quality control is one of the important aspects of any major construction works, which is to be undertaken to ensure work execution according to design requirements. The work presented in this paper involved measurement of cover thickness in three newly constructed highway bridges. Testing was conducted to ensure that specified requirements were attained prior to commissioning of the structures; otherwise, the quality control survey would identify problem areas for consideration of corrective measures. A total of 328 data sets were obtained during cover measurements. In this paper, the results obtained are discussed and evaluated. Data are characterised on the basis of statistical quantities.

    Description: In this paper, two methods consisting of triaxial water permeability and water penetration were used to evaluate the changes occurring in the pores of clay concretes during the tests. Triaxial permeability is generally used for concrete with higher permeability while concretes with very low permeability are suited for the penetration method. Clay concrete specimens of 0 to 40% clay content were used in the study. The concrete mixes had water-to-cement ratios (w/c) of 0.70, 0.75, 0.80, 0.85, and the cementitious content 380 and 450 kg/m 3 . Results show that concrete gains moisture during wetting at a much faster rate than loses it during subsequent drying. This could be explained by the contribution of suction pressure created upon drying. When water penetration pressure is applied, more water is driven into pore space that could be responsible for changing the network of the voids. Pore structure during drying may certainly be different in size and shape than its ...

    Description: Author(s): Solomon F. Duki and Harsh Mathur We consider the application of a small in-plane magnetic field to electrons on a helium surface in a perpendicular magnetic field. Certain states that were bound to the helium surface then dissolve into the continuum, turning into long-lived resonances. As a result microwave absorption lines acquire... [Phys. Rev.
