1. Mechanisms of salt frost scaling on portland cement-bound materials: studies and hypothesis
Sammanfattning : A hypothesis regarding the mechanism causing salt frost scaling on Portland cement-bound materials is described. It is assumed that deterioration is due to osmotic micro ice body growth, as has been previously proposed for frost deterioration of moisture-isolated specimens of cement-bound materials. LÄS MER
2. Frost-induced deterioration of concrete in hydraulic structures : Interactions between water absorption, leaching and frost action
Sammanfattning : Frost deterioration of concrete can result in severe consequences to the safety, durability and functionality of a structure since it impairs the strength of the concrete. Frost damage may occur to structures that are in contact with water and subjected to frost action. LÄS MER
3. Numerical models for degradation of concrete in hydraulic structures due to long-term contact with water
Sammanfattning : The durability of concrete is of major concern in all types of concrete structures where the combined effect of exposure conditions and the type and quality of the concrete material usually determines the rate of degradation. Furthermore, there are synergy effects between different deterioration mechanisms, which means that the combined rate of degradation is higher than the sum of the individual rates of each mechanism.

4. On Degradation and Monitoring Tools for Gas and Steam Turbines
Sammanfattning : The revenue from a power plant is strongly dependent on the life cycle cost. Today, when the market conditions for power-producing companies have shifted from a protected market to a deregulated market, the need for tools to monitor power plants has increased significantly. LÄS MER
5. Squat defects and rolling contact fatigue clusters - Numerical investigations of rail and wheel deterioration mechanisms
Sammanfattning : Squat defects, a type of localised rolling contact fatigue damage appearing on rail surfaces with rail break as an ultimate consequence, have concerned infrastructure managers for the last couple of decades. In recent years similar types of defects—so-called studs—that are visually resembling squats, have started to appear. LÄS MER
