Impact of additives on the properties of earth plasters
Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan(2016-12-31)
Earth building materials have a long history in the world and especially in Turkey. Buildings dating from more 10 000 years have been uncovered by archaeologist and vernacular buildings all over the country are finished with mud plasters. The aim of this study is to propose solutions for vernacular and natural buildings that have a modern and aesthetic appearance and longevity more appropriate with actual standard of the building materials. The objective of this research is to identify appropriate additives...
Impact of Pad Conditioning on Thickness Profile Control in Chemical Mechanical Planarization
Kıncal, Serkan; BAŞIM DOĞAN, GÜL BAHAR (2013-01-01)
Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) has been proven to be the best method to achieve within-wafer and within-die uniformity for multilevel metallization. Decreasing device dimensions and increasing wafer sizes continuously demand better planarization, which necessitates better understanding of all the variables of the CMP process. A recently highlighted critical factor, pad conditioning, affects the pad surface profile and consequently the wafer profile; in addition, it reduces defects by refreshing the...
Impact of various sands and fibres on the physical and mechanical properties of earth mortars for plasters and renders
Pedergnana, Matthieu; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira (2021-11-01)
Earth plasters and renders tend to crack and crumble due to weathering. Their resilience can be improved by adding sand or fibre to the earth mixture. This paper presents an extensive literature review on earth mortar studies and the results of some experiments to strengthen the earth mortars with different sands and fibres. These experiments showed that regardless of the type of fibre or sand used, the impact on shrinkage was positive but negative on mechanical strength. Although 5% chaff improved flexural...
Influence of fly ash composition on non-gray particle radiation in combusting systems
Ates, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2018-08-01)
In this study, chemical composition dependency of both radiative properties of ash particles and radiative heat exchange are investigated for conditions typically encountered in industrial coal-fired furnaces. For that purpose, chemical composition dependent / independent complex index of refraction models are utilized to evaluate (i) spectral particle absorption efficiencies, scattering efficiencies and asymmetry factors, (ii) particle cloud properties representing pulverized coal fired furnaces (PC-Fired)...
Effect of large amounts of natural pozzolan addition on properties of blended cements
Turanlı, Lutfullah; Uzal, B; Bektas, F (Elsevier BV, 2005-06-01)
In this study, the effects of 35, 45, and 55 wt.% natural pozzolan addition on the properties of blended cement pastes and mortars were investigated. Blended cements with 450 m(2) /kg Blaine fineness were produced from a Turkish volcanic tuff in a laboratory mill by intergrinding portland cement clinker, natural pozzolan, and gypsum. The cements were tested for particle size distribution, setting time, heat of hydration, compressive strength, alkali-silica activity, and sulfate resistance. Cement pastes wer...
