Influence of low curing temperatures on the tensile response of low clinker Strain Hardening UHPFRC under full restraint

Emmanuel Denarié, Mohamed Abdul Hafiz

The tensile response of strain hardening UHPFRC under full restraint, subjected to curing temperatures of 20 °C, 10 °C, 5 °C, was investigated for two types of mixes with silica fume; Mix I with pure type I cement and Mix II with 50% replacement of cement ...

Local tuning of fused silica thermal expansion coefficient using femtosecond laser

Yves Bellouard, Pieter Vlugter, Erica Kathleen Block

Femtosecond laser exposure of fused silica in the nonablative regime can lead to various localized bulk modifications of the material structure. In this paper, we show that these laser-induced modifications can be used to tune silica thermal expansion prop ...
