Recovery and Modification of Waste Tire Particles and Their Use as Reinforcements of Concrete by Eduardo Sadot Herrera-Sosa, Gonzalo Martínez-Barrera, Carlos Barrera-Díaz, Epifanio Cruz-Zaragoza, Fernando Ureña-Núñez

“…Moreover, SEM images are related to mechanical properties; for instance, rough surface of the tire particles changes when applying irradiation; more smooth surfaces are created, due to the cross-linking of polymer chains. Nevertheless, for higher doses, cracks are observed which are produced by scission of the polymer chains.…”

Finite-Element Analysis of Oscillations in Damaged Pipeline Sections Reinforced With a Composite Material by Arman Moldagaliyev, Nurlan Zhangabay, Marco Bonopera, Talzhan Raimberdiyev, Shairbek Yeshimbetov, Seraliyev Galymzhan, Yermek Anarbayev

“…The outcome showed that to compensate for the stress concentration in the damaged zone of a pipeline with a thickness between 11.9 and 14.3 mm, the thickness of the composite wrap should be 2÷4 mm, that is, not lower than 17% of the original pipeline thickness at thinning and not lower than 34% of the original pipeline thickness at large cracks. An increment in the pipeline thickness from 11.9 up to 14.3 mm with a reinforced composite lining leads to an increment in the first oscillation frequency not higher than 0.1%. …”
