The detrimental effects of the rapid dewatering of cement mortars due to the interaction of wet mortar and brick substrate at the freshly mixed state in masonry construction are often addressed in the literature. The desorptivity and hence very high water releasing ability of cement mortars result in a great water loss during dewatering that significantly affects the fresh and hardened state properties of the end product. The paper therefore investigates the possible role of ground Bayburt stone incorporation in cement mortars on dewatering characteristics and the consequences of this effect at the hardened state properties of these mortars in construction practice. The paper begins with the measurement of the parameters of water transport kinetics and individually reports the effect of dewatering on the mechanical properties and durability characteristic of cement mortars incorporated with ground Bayburt stones. The results reported in this paper strongly suggest that ground Bayburt stone incorporation in cement mortars significantly compensate the degree of dewatering, and this vital feature does not only decreases the influence of dewatering on mechanical properties but also results in an enhanced durability characteristics of cement mortars.

Computation of Thermal Fracture Parameters for Inclined Cracks in Functionally Graded Materials Using Jk-Integral
Dağ, Serkan (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
This article describes the formulation and implementation of the Jk-integral for the analysis of inclined cracks located in functionally graded materials (FGMs) that are subjected to thermal stresses. The generalized definition of the Jk-integral over a vanishingly small curve at the tip of an inclined crack is converted to a domain independent form that consists of area and line integrals defined over finite domains. A numerical procedure based on the finite element method is then developed, which allows t...
Effect of fiber and resin types on mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composite pipe
Gokce, Neslihan; Yılmazer, Ülkü; SUBAŞI, SERKAN (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2019-09-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the types of fiber and resin on the mechanical properties of polyester composite pipes. Orthophthalic, isophthalic and vinyl ester resins were used as the matrix; E-glass, electrical/chemical resistance (ECR)-glass and basalt fibers were used as reinforcement; and 98% silica (SiO2) sand was used as filler in mixtures. Samples were produced by the centrifugal casting method. Samples cut from the produced pipes were tested to determine stiffness and longitu...
Damage behavior of air-plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings under foreign object impact
Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Kagawa, Y; Kasano, H (Wiley, 2003-10-01)
How do thermal barrier coatings react to the impact of a foreign object? The authors examined the damage done by a projectile to an air‐plasma‐sprayed coating system. Apart from permanent deformation, chipping of the ceramic top coat around the impression sites occurs at impact velocities above 150 m s–1. At increasing impact speed, the cracks in the top coat tend to elongate and result in coating removal (see Figure for a cross‐section).
Use of IR thermography for the assessment of surface-water drainage problems in a historical building, Agzikarahan (Aksaray), Turkey
Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Caner-Saltik, EN; Demirci, S (Elsevier BV, 2005-07-01)
A non-destructive study was conducted on the 13th century caravanserai of Agzikarahan in Aksaray, Turkey, suffering from problems of seasonal rising damp in its lower parts. Both infrared (IR) thermography and a levelling survey were used for determining whether or not a surface-water drainage system was incorporated into its original construction and what its existing condition was. A map of its immediate periphery was produced, indicating overall slopes and local falls in reference to overhead roof draina...
Influence of nature of silica source on template-free synthesis of ZSM-5
Kalıpçılar, Halil (Wiley, 2001-01-01)
Synthesis of ZSM-5 from template-free batches which preceded the preparation of template-free ZSM-5 layers on porous supports was studied to ascertain the effect of nature of silica source on the purity of template-free ZSM-5. Silicic acid and two colloidal silica sols were used as silica sources to prepare the template-free batches with a molar composition of 6.5Na(2)O:Al2O3:80SiO(2):3196H(2)O. One of the colloidal silica sols contained methanol as stabilizer while the other did not. The product purity and...
