Large scale hydraulic model tests were carried out to investigate the erosive potentials, bed stability and the performance as scour protection of wide-graded quarry-stone material with fractions ranging from 0.063 - 200 ...

The terrestrial margins of the Middle Pleistocene ice sheets in northern central Europe were characterised by the formation of extensive ice-dammed lakes, which were controlled by the blockage of spillways by the ice margin. ...

The rheological properties of fresh cement paste are highly influenced by a large number of parameters, among which the most important factors are the applied shear stress, and the shear history, the age of the sample and ...

This paper describes a laser-based approach for the bonded repair of fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts. According to CFRP's material properties and sensitivity to thermal loads, short pulsed UV laser radiation is ...

The replacement of potentially hazardous synthetic dyes with natural dyes and pigments are of great interest for a sustainable economy. In order to obtain cost-efficient, environmentally friendly and competitive products, ...
