Roofing sheets of lower weight can be produced with this developed material. The yield strength and tensile strength of 73.45 and 75.12 MPa are within the strength recommended for galvanized zinc and long span aluminum. The new material can be used in the production of roofing sheets with better corrosion resistance than galvanized zinc and long span aluminum. It was established that light weight roofing sheets with better corrosion resistance can be made with this composite.","PeriodicalId":7897,"journal":{"name":"Annales De Chimie-science Des Materiaux","volume":"58 1","pages":"375-380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84889445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Split tensile strength and compressive strength of the concrete samples examined for M30 grade. Fine aggregate is substituted by glass bottle powder (i.e. 10 to 40%) and illuminate sludge (i.e. 10 to 30%). Metakaolin substituted for cement replacement (i.e. 4 to 12%). Glass bottle does not pollute the atmosphere, but the disposal of waste glass results wastage of land. Thereby glass bottle powder can be utilized as a cement replacement in the construction industry. Then the metakaolin and illuminate sludge are the waste products from the titanium product. The experiment performed to assess the strength properties by incorporating various industrial wastes in different dosages. Physical tests of all three products have carried out according to the code requirements. Three specimens have been tested for each industrial waste products ratio to examine the tensile and compressive strength of concrete at 7th day, 14th day and 28th day and eventually to cure to achieve the optimum strength of concrete.

However, the coupling beam has a limited energy dissipation capacity. Once severely damaged, the coupling beam is difficult to be repaired, which hinders the structural recovery after an earthquake. Considering excellence of metal rubber (MR) in hysteresis energy dissipation and deformation self-reset, this paper changes the energy dissipation mode of the coupling beam by adding an MR damper to the beam. Firstly, the stressstrain curve of MR was obtained through mechanical experiments, and used to construct the constitutive model of the material. Then, the parameters of the damper were designed based on the constitutive model. Next, the MR dampers were installed on the coupling beams of a 12-layer RC frame-shear wall structure. The authors analyzed the time histories of the elastoplastic dynamics of the structure under seismic actions, and calculated the seismic responses like interlayer displacement, absolute acceleration, and base shear force. These parameters were compared with those of the structure without the damper, and the output-deformation envelope curve of the damper on each layer were obtained. In this way, the authors studied how the parameters of the MR damper affect the seismic response of RC frame-shear wall structure. The results show that adding the MR damper to coupling beam can effectively weaken the seismic response of the RC frame-shear wall structure.","PeriodicalId":7897,"journal":{"name":"Annales De Chimie-science Des Materiaux","volume":"6 1","pages":"319-326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84514467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In its natural form it is combined with oxygen and other elements and is the third most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It can be machined easily and has a Face Centred Cubic (FCC) structure. Aluminium alloys are an attractive alternative to ferrous materials for tribological applications due to their low density and high thermal conductivity. The microstructure of aluminium alloys can be modified and mechanical properties can be improved by alloying, cold working and heat treatment. The present work mainly focuses on the study of the effect of variation in composition on the wear characteristics and compressive strength of aluminium alloy Al6463 by varying the compositions of the two major alloying elements, Magnesium (Mg) and Silicon (Si) in the alloy. Four specimens of the aluminium alloy Al6463 are prepared each for Magnesium composition varying b/w (0.5 to 0.875%) and Silicon composition varying b/w (0.2 to 0.575%). Wear and compression tests were carried out as per ASTM standard. The results of the wear test indicate that the least wear rate was obtained for specimens of 0.750% Mg and 0.575% Si composition of the alloy Al6463 at a higher load of 1.5 kg. Also, the compression test results indicate that the specimens with 0.750% Mg and 0.575% Si compositions of the alloy Al6463 exhibit better compressive strength.","PeriodicalId":7897,"journal":{"name":"Annales De Chimie-science Des Materiaux","volume":"89 1","pages":"359-364"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79934936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
