A FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEME TO SOLVE ONE-DIMENSIONAL ROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH SOIL FREEZING AND THAWING
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
A finite difference scheme, which can be easily used for PC-programming to solve one-dimensional problems associated with soil freezing and thawing is presented. The method takes into account the real phase equilibria in the soil-water system, thereby being better interpretable both physically and in terms of soil mechanics. Some special computational procedures have been given, among them those relating to the crossing the freezing point and to determining the initial temperature distribution.

THE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF CHALCEDONY DUST ON THE REACTION OF ALKALIS WITH REACTIVE AGGREGATE IN CEMENT MORTARS
Chalcedony dust can be used as a mineral additive in cements and concretes. This material can act as a pozzolan and prevent the expansion caused by the alkali-silica reaction. The paper presents the examination of cement...
ESTIMATION, BASED ON THE MATURITY FUNCTION, OF THE STRENGTH OF EARLY AGE CONCRETE CURED AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE
In mass production of concrete precast units, it is important to optimise technology which would ensure high early age compressive strength of concrete, and also follow the principles of sustainable manufacturing and red...
ANALYSIS OF RESPIRATORY QUOTIENT RQ IN PROCESS OF BIOMASS DECOMPOSITION IN THE LAB TECHNICS
Biomass biodegradation under aerobic condition was investigated. The source of the biomass was potato samples. The oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide rates were monitored over 24 hours, using a 2.5 L Oxymax ER-10 resp...
MULTIVARIATE ARCHITECTURE-&-CONSTRUCTIVE SYSTEM ON THE BASIS OF BEAMLESS FRAMEWORK
The article presents methodological principles for forming the multivariate architecture-&-construction system on the basis of a new beamless framework. The idea of system’s creation and application was briefly character...
DEFECTS IN STRUCTURAL TIMBER
The paper presents the defects that are typically found in structural timber. The model of the so-called flawless timber has been made more precise. Additionally, the impact of defects on timber quality was characterised...
