SOLITARY PULMONARY NODULES: EFFECTIVENESS OF DYNAMIC CT IN THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS


Effect of Excessive Bleeding on the Properties of Cement Mortar

The bleeding of cementitious materials corresponds to the settlement of the granular skeleton accompanied by the accumulation of water at the surface (bleed water).Part of this water (internal bleeding) remains trapped under the aggregates (sand or gravel) or the reinforcements.The excess of this trapped water can weaken the bond between the cement

Mechanical and Microstructural Changes in Expansive Soils Treated with Lime and Lignin Fiber from Paper Industry

Expansive soil exhibits significant swellings and shrinkages, which may result in severe damage or the collapse of structures built upon it.Calcium-based admixtures, such as lime, are commonly used to improve this problematic soil.However, traditional chemical additions can increase significant environmental stress.This paper proposes a sustainable
