Predicting the Nmr Chemical Shifts of Hydrides in Sabre-active Ir Complexes by Relativistic Dft

Signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) uses metal-mediated reversible binding of parahydrogen to transfer polarization via spin-spin couplings in transient complexes, particularly iridium complexes with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC). The magne ...

FLO:RE – A new floor system made of reused reinforced concrete and steel elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Numa Joy Bertola, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer

Carefully extracting reinforced concrete (RC) elements from soon-to-be demolished structures and reusing them as load-bearing components is an emerging circular low-carbon alternative to building new structures. As floor construction typically accounts for ...

The effect of pore microstructure on strength and chloride ingress in blended cement based on low kaolin clay

Karen Scrivener, Diana Londoño Zuluaga

The objective of this study is to analyse the mechanical and durability properties of a high-performance mortars based on low grade kaolin clay and the effect of electrical conductivity and pore microstructure on the chloride penetration resistance. A tota ...

Performance of lightweight and heavyweight building walls with naturally ventilated passive and active facades

Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad

Well-designed ventilated air-spaces behind external claddings in the building envelope can potentially reduce thermal energy flow in the entire wall structure. In this study, the impact of the dynamic thermo-hydraulic behavior of the flow in the naturally ...

Systematic investigations of uranium carbide composites oxidation from micro- to nano-scale: Application to waste disposal

Nhât-Tân Vuong

The production of radioisotope beams at the ISOLDE (Isotope Separator OnLine DEvice) facility at CERN is achieved by irradiating target materials (e.g. uranium carbides and metal foils) with protons. The materials are usually operated at temperatures above ...

Actuator Placement for Structural Controllability beyond Strong Connectivity and towards Robustness

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Maryam Kamgarpour, Baiwei Guo

Actuator placement is a fundamental problem in control design for large-scale networks. In this paper, we study the problem of finding a set of actuator positions by minimizing a given metric, while satisfying a structural controllability requirement and a ...

Combined synchrotron x-ray diffraction and NV diamond magnetic microscopy measurements at high pressure

Margarita Lesik Gaussens, Mayeul Sylvain Chipaux, Charles Michel Henri Pépin

We report the possibility to simultaneously perform wide-field nitrogen-vacancy (NV) diamond magnetic microscopy and synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements at high pressure. NV color centers are created on the culet of a diamond anvil which is integrat ...

Microstructural simulation and measurement of elastic modulus evolution of hydrating cement pastes

Karen Scrivener, Cyrille Dunant, Arnaud Charles Albert Muller

Predicting the evolution of stiffness in cement paste requires linking morphological properties of the microstructure to the evolution of mechanical properties. Measures are typically difficult to obtain with sufficient time resolution to capture the trans ...

Performance of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) with various kaolinite contents with respect to chloride transport

Karen Scrivener, François Henri Avet, Mohammadhadi Kazemi Kamyab, Hamed Maraghechi

The durability of mortar and paste mixtures with respect to chloride ion ingress was investigated for binary blends of Portland Cement Calcined Clay, and ternary systems of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3). Five clays from various sources with differen ...

Functional composites with damage control and repair

Amaël Maximilien Cohades

Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite structures are subjected during service to low energy impacts or unexpected loads, leading to damage. Microcracks are generally first formed in the matrix and can reach up to several hundred microns in thickness. In ...
