Direct measurement of the wetting front capillary pressure in a clay brick ceramic
(2003)
The absorption of a liquid into a rectangular bar of an initially dry porous material that is sealed on all surfaces except the inflow face is analysed in terms of Sharp Front theory. Sharp Front models are developed for ...

Durability performance of self-compacting concrete
(2012)
Although self compacting concrete (SCC) is currently used in many countries, there is a fundamental lack of the intrinsic durability of the material itself. This article presents the outcomes from a research program on ...
On the role of organic adlayers in the anomalous water sorptivity of Lépine limestone
(2004)
Sorptivity data are reported for the capillary absorption of water, ethanol, propan-2-ol, and n-heptane by the calcitic limestone Lépine (Lavoux à grain). The data confirm that the water sorptivity is anomalously low, an ...
Crushed limestone as an aggregate in concrete production: the Cyprus case
(2010)
Limestones in Cyprus are mainly quarried for the production of coarse and fine aggregates to be used in concrete. The objective of this paper is to examine the properties of crushed limestone aggregates. The petrographical ...
