The lapidary elements of the Castle of Belvoir by Anne Flammin, Paul François, Florian Renucci

“…As for the other, it is based on a style more in line with the architectural context, but few of the stones found could belong to it. Without proposing to definitively settle the question, this article also demonstrates the interest of a very strong interconnection between archaeologists, stone-cutting specialists and architects allowing, around the 3D reconstruction, to propose hypotheses considering all the data of the problem.…”

Equivalent Resilient Modulus Inversion and Calculation of Different Asphalt Pavement Structures by Mingming Cao, Wanqing Huang, Yiwen Zou, Zhiyong Wu

“…The results show that, with the inversion method and the theoretical calculation method, the calculated equivalent resilient modulus of the top surface of the cushion layer has a small error, but the theoretical calculation method overestimates the equivalent resilient modulus of the top surface of the cement stabilized crushed stone layer and the top surface of the graded crushed stone transition layer, especially for the inverted asphalt pavement; by contrast, the corresponding result of the inversion method is closer to the value in actual engineering. …”

Synergistic Effect of Latex Powder and Rubber on the Properties of Oil Well Cement-Based Composites by Jianjian Song, Mingbiao Xu, Weihong Liu, Xiaoliang Wang, Yumeng Wu

“…These evidences arose from the synergism between latex powder and rubber leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network structure and a flexible structure which subsequently improved the elasticity and toughness of cement stone. The improved elastic matrix has a buffering effect on external impact when the cement stone is subjected to an external load.…”
