Abstract
The possibility of using finely ground waste glass as partial cement replacement in concrete was examined through three sets of tests: the lime-glass tests to assess the pozzolanic activity of ground glass, the compressive strength tests of concrete having 30% cement re-placed by ground glass to monitor the strength development, and the mortar bar tests to study the potential expansion. The results showed that ground glass having a particle size finer than 38 m did exhibit a pozzolanic behavior. A size effect was observed; ....etc

ABSTRACT
A study was conducted in one of the premier glass manufacturing industries in India during June 2005 to understand the different mechanisms employed in glass industry. M/s. Excel Glasses Limited, Alappuzha, Kerala was selected for the study. Pneumatic systems and different mechanisms employed for making glass bottles and jars by the above unit are discussed. The study has revealed that Individual Section (I.S.) Machine is used to manufacture glass bottles and jars for the liquor, food and p ....etc

Over the last decade, particle tracking microrheology has matured as a new tool for complex fluids research. The main advantages of microrheology over traditional macroscopic rheometry are: the required sample size is extremely small (~ 1 mL); local viscoelastic properties in a sample can be probed with high spatial resolution (~1-10 mm); and the sample is not disturbed by moving rheometer parts. I will present two examples of recent work in my group that highlight how these characteristics can be exploited to acquire unique information about t ....etc

Definition

The fiber/matrix adhesion is most likely to control the overall mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced composites. An interfacial reaction may result in various morphological modifications to polymer matrix microstructure in proximity to the fiber surface. The interactions between fiber and polymer matrix during thermal conditioning and thermal shock are important phenomena.

Thermal stresses were built-up in glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites by up-thermal shock cycles (negative to positive temperature exposure) for diff ....etc

STRUCTURAL GLAZING IN BUILDING“MODERN GLASS



Abstract


Using large panes of glass to create light filled spaces in commercial and individual buildings has been a popular practice for decades. The type of glass used must also be robust enough to withstand extremes of weather and will often be treated to absorb heat or cut sunlight. Installing structural glazing is a complex business and needs plenty of skilled planning. Structural glazing is so common now that only the most outlandish designs really catch the eye. ....etc

automatic guided system transfers scrap glass

ABSTRACT


An automatic guided system transfers scrap glass resulted from at least one scrap glass source of a clean room to a scrap exit. The automatic guided system for transferring the scrap glass includes a rail module and a vehicle module. The rail module connects the scrap exit to the scrap glass source. The vehicle module is moved along the rail module for transferring the scrap glass from the scrap glass source to the scrap exit.

xperimental results on ?ber micro-buckling of continuous glass-?ber reinforced hollow-cored recycled plastic extrusions under creep tests are introduced. The full size specimens with dimensions in 2:5 Â 3:5 Â 42 in:3 were submerged in warm water at a temperature of 125 °F when they were under a four-point bending creep test. The results show that the micro-buckling of the embedded glass-?ber roving occurs along 90% the length of the specimen on the upper inner surface (compressive side) and mainly during the time bet ....etc
