Authors: Pokrovskaya E. N. , Beltsova T. G.
Published: July 2014

The mechanism and conditions of superficial modifying of wood by phosphoric and siliceous organic compounds are studied. Essentially new fire- and bioprotective preparations are developed and introduced. Wood can absorb moisture from air; the moisture considerably affects physical and mechanical characteristics of wood. While moisture of wood increases by 30%, its mechanical strength decreases by 70%. Increase in wood moisture leads to its rotting. Nowadays, due to ecological pollution, atmospheric moisture often contains acid agents. Wooden external constructions due to their contact with acid atmospheric moisture are subject to considerable hydrological destruction. Hydrophobization of wood happens with the help of polymers and siliceous organic compounds, the effect of the decrease of hydroscopability occurring because of the block system of hydro groups, filling of capillary porous structure of density of suture of lignocarbohydrate mould[5]. But if there is a considerable amount of polymers in wood, density of polymeric net gets broken which leads to worse characteristics of the material, and sometimes to its spontaneous destruction. Siliceous organic compounds (SOC) are considered to be traditional hydrophobizators of wood and cellulose materials. To create stable effect of hydrophobization it is necessary to carry out. Treatment of wood by silicium compounds. Saturation of wood by SOC has certain difficulties as SOC are hydrophobic agents. Saturation is carried out by means of autoclave, by method of hot-cold baths with overfall of temperatures from 65°C to 20°C. The time of saturation must be no less than 7 hours. These methods of saturation mean the usage of great number of materials and they are energy consuming. The present research is aimed at the development of technology of ‘’soft’’ treatment by silicium compounds under which a level of chemical modifying is not high and content of chemically related Si is 1%. As silicium agents alkilhydrosiloksans and alkoksilans were used. To make it easier for SOC to enter into wood , various hydrofilous additions were used, which had to decrease the energy of activation of silicium reaction simultaneously in order to turn treatment by silicium compounds into a “soft” regime. Out of alkilhydrosiloksans polythilhydrosiloksans (PEHS) and polymethilhydrosiloksans with various levels of polymerization were used. The role of activating hydrophilian additions performed ammonia phtorids, potassium, hydrochloric titanium acid.

Inorganic polymer material is a new green energy-saving building material which has a broad development prospect. It has been a hot engineering research issue. In this paper, inorganic polymer concrete is made by using fly ash, mineral powder and alkaline activator. Its basic mechanical properties are studied by the cube compressive strength test, the drying-wetting cycle test and flexural strength test and compared with the ordinary concrete in the same sand ratio. The compressive strength of inorganic polymer concrete specimen with mineral powder in early days is much greater than the same level of ordinary concrete. Without mineral powder, its compressive strength has developed rapidly in the early days, but it become very slower in the later days. Furthermore, its ultimate compressive strength is less than the same level of ordinary concrete. After the drying-wetting cycles, the compressive strength of the inorganic polymer concrete specimen is lower than that of the standard conservation. The reduction rate with mineral powder is smaller. The flexural failure characteristics of inorganic polymer concrete specimen are the same with ordinary concrete. However, its bending strength is lower than the same level of ordinary concrete specimen. Research results provide valuable experimental data for the engineering application of inorganic polymer concrete.

Authors: Wang Qing He
Published: July 2014

The highway and railway bridge across Songhua River in Harbin, which belongs to the existing Bin-Bei line (i.e Harbin-Bei’an ), was built in 1993, and it was formerly named as Dongjiang Bridge. After many years’ operation, tremendous damages occurred. Hence, on December 25th 2006, highway located in upper level was closed, and railway located in lower level took speed-limiting as well as quantity-limiting operation measures. Even though, there were still security risks, and endangered traffic safety. The reconstruction of this bridge has a strategic importance on thoroughly removing bottleneck and security risks caused by railway channel and urban road transport of Bin-Bei line, perfecting overall arrangement of both railway and highway road net, improving integrated transport capacity, as well as developing local economy. Therefore, it is necessary to have comprehensive comparison for the bridge site scheme selection works.
