Experimental Study of a New Concrete Admixture and Its Function in Filling and Reinforcing Granite Fissures by Songnan Ru, Zuozhou Li, Handong Liu, Huaichang Yu, Chunlei Wei, Guangzhu Hu, Fangfang Xue, Congxian Wang, Jialiang Wang

“…Capillary water absorption, early-age anticracking, cube compressive strength, and splitting tensile tests were employed to study the effects of the new concrete admixture on the basic performance of concrete. On this basis, a triaxial compression test was conducted on granite fissures filled with concrete containing the admixture; the stress-strain and failure characteristics under different admixture dosages, confining pressures, and fracture widths were analyzed, and the reinforcement effect of the concrete with the admixture on the fractured rock mass was studied. …”

How can brand equity for tourism destinations be used to preview tourists’ destination choice? An overview from the top of Tower of Babel by Francisco Dias, Lucília Cardoso

“…Besides presenting the preferred destination brands for Brazilian and Portuguese tourists, the results confirm a basic assumption supporting this research program related to the geographic polarization of the most valued destination brands: “dream destination brands” correspond to destinations located farther from respondents’ home-places, in other continents, requiring long-haul air travel, while “favourite destination brands” are predominantly destinations located nearer, in respondents’ own countries or neighbouring countries.…”

Performance of Rejuvenated Asphalt and Mixtures with Waste Engine Oil Bottom and Liquid Styrene-Butadiene Rubber by Gang Zhou, Yi Tian, Liang Gong, Zhansheng Pang, Tianquan Chen

“…To address the inadequate performance of rejuvenated asphalt when waste engine oil bottom (WEOB) is used as an asphalt rejuvenator, liquid styrene-butadiene rubber (liquid SBR) was used to enhance the performance of WEOB-rejuvenated asphalt. By testing the basic physical properties of asphalt and using the high- and low-temperature rheology, differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) tests, the index and microstructure changes of asphalt before and after aging and regeneration, from macrolevels and microlevels, were studied, along with the high- and low-temperature performance and water stability of the rejuvenated asphalt mixture. …”
