Study on the Durability of Concrete under an Underwater Coupling Environment by Chunhua You, Gen He

“…It is suggested that the water-cement ratio of 0.34 and the cementitious material of 480 kg/m3 be selected for the preparation of the pile foundation concrete; when the content of fly ash is 15%, the antisulfuric acid corrosion ability of the concrete cementitious system can be enhanced and the concrete with 40% mineral powder has strong antichloride ion corrosion ability; the results show that the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete samples with seven mix proportions is less than 6∗10–12 m2/s, which can meet the durability design requirements and reduce the damage of concrete. …”

A Midcourse Guidance Method Combined with Trajectory Prediction for Antinear-Space-Gliding Vehicles by JiaQing Wan, Qian Zhang, Hao Zhang, JiaNing Liu

“…The analytical expression of a guidance command based on zero-error-miss/zero-error-velocity is established on the basis of the optimal control theory to provide an optimal flight path guiding an NSGV fly toward a point of interception. The simulation results show that the trajectory-prediction method has high prediction accuracy and strong convergency for typical maneuver modes, and the proposed midcourse guidance algorithm meets the requirements of the zero-effort intercept manifold with the intersection angle constraints, which is of important theoretical significance and acts as a reference value for intercepting high-velocity maneuver targets.…”

Coal Bottom Ash for Portland Cement Production by Cristina Argiz, Miguel Ángel Sanjuán, Esperanza Menéndez

“…For instance, it could be used as a Portland cement constituent leading to more sustainable cement production by lowering energy consumption and raw material extracted from quarries. Coal fly and bottom ashes are formed together in the same boiler; however, the size and shape of these ashes are very different, and hence their effect on the chemical composition as well as on the mineralogical phases must be studied. …”
