description: L'objectif de ce travail expérimental est d'évaluer la contribution mécanique des fibres non-métalliques sur les performances des bétons potentiellement soumis à la corrosion. Les fibres utilisées dans cette étude sont les minibars fibres de basalte et de verre alcali-résistantes (AR) renforcées avec le polymère de type Vinylester. Les propriétés requises par les matériaux testés visent dans l'application proposée, une résistance mécanique minimale de 60 MPa à 28 jours. Les investigations portent sur les bétons autoplaçants renforcés de fibres (BAPF) avec variation de la fraction volumique (fv). La conception du mélange a été développée de manière à observer l'influence des fibres sur le comportement mécanique des bétons. Les performances mécaniques des spécimens sont évaluées sur la base d'essais de compression uniaxiale, de traction par fendage effectués sur des éprouvettes cylindriques (15x30 cm) et de traction par flexion quatre points conduits sur des éprouvettes prismatiques (14x14x56 cm). Une attention particulière est portée sur le comportement pré-pic et post-pic des éprouvettes résultant de l'essai de traction par flexion. Les modes de rupture des fibres sont mis en évidence par des observations microstructurales (MEB) des échantillons après rupture en flexion.

description: Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC) exploits the information processing capabilities of quantum systems to solve non-trivial temporal tasks, improving over their classical counterparts. Recent progress has shown the potential of QRC exploiting the enlarged Hilbert space, but real-time processing and the achievement of a quantum advantage with efficient use of resources are prominent challenges towards viable experimental realizations. In this work, we propose a photonic platform suitable for real-time QRC based on a physical ensemble of reservoirs in the form of identical optical pulses recirculating through a closed loop. While ideal operation achieves maximum capacities, statistical noise is shown to undermine a quantum advantage. We propose a strategy to overcome this limitation and sustain the QRC performance when the size of the system is scaled up. The platform is conceived for experimental implementations to be viable with current technology.
Étude expérimentale et numérique de l’impact des ruptures de fils dans un câble de précontrainte extérieure injecté au coulis de ciment
Creators: name: Aparicio, Jonas
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2023

description: La précontrainte extérieure a été massivement utilisée en France lors des années 1980 pour construire de grands ouvrages de génie civil. La précontrainte était alors principalement mise en œuvre à l’aide de câbles d’acier haute résistance toronnés, par groupe de sept fils, placés dans une gaine en PEHD avec une injection au coulis de ciment pour les protéger. Cependant, malgré cette protection, des défauts ont été décelés sur des câbles. Ces défauts peuvent engendrer la perte du câble entier. Il est donc important pour les gestionnaires d’ouvrages de connaître l’état résiduel d’un câble sur lequel des ruptures de fils ont été observées.Pour cela, plusieurs câbles de 50m de long (trois câbles avec un seul toron puis deux câbles comprenant cinq torons) ont été mis en œuvre sur un banc d'essais, tendus et amenés à la rupture par découpe progressive des fils composant le(s) toron(s). Des jauges de déformation ont été collées sur les fils et sur la gaine, et un capteur de force a été utilisé pour mesurer la tension du câble. Les résultats obtenus expérimentalement ont été comparés à ceux obtenus analytiquement et numériquement.Une relation entre la tension résiduelle du câble et l'endommagement a pu être identifiée, ainsi que la répartition des contraintes dans le câble, notamment le report de la contrainte du fil coupé sur l’ensemble des fils du câble. Un modèle numérique a été développé afin d'obtenir une estimation de la longueur sur laquelle le câble est affecté par la rupture d'un ou plusieurs fils en fonction des caractéristiques de la zone de rupture.

Crack propagation measurements using Digital Volume Correlation for an in situ Wedge Splitting Test on mortar
Creators: name: Dray, Samy
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2023

description: Facing global warming, nuclear energy allows us to progressively develop solutions without having to depend on fossil fuel. However, it also induces other ecological challenges such as nuclear safety against radiations and incidents, which are directly related to the cracking of concrete sealing. Nowadays, crack propagation in concrete is the subject of research such as, in this study, mechanical constraint but also aging, drying or temperature effects. A common difficulty for crack propagation measurements within quasi-brittle materials such as concrete or mortar is its instability. The presented work consists in the exploitation of an in situ Wedge Splitting Test to assess crack propagation for a chosen mortar when subjected to a splitting load. The presented in situ Wedge Splitting Test was performed taking different tomographic scans at different loading steps. This type of test allowed us to interrupt loading at different steps, with stable cracking conditions, to scan the material bulk. Regularized Finite Element based Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) on the different scans enabled 3D displacement fields to be measured during crack propagation. It consists in measuring the displacement fields by minimizing the gray level differences between a reference volume and deformed volumes. The presence of the major crack was investigated thanks to the elementary strain fields and the voxel-wise registration residuals. Measurement uncertainties were also assessed via DVC on a repeated scan. Furthermore, the high brittleness of the material involved very small displacement levels during crack propagation. Given the low uncertainties associated with regularized DVC, it was possible to obtain satisfying results for the investigated test.

description: Modern hydraulic shock absorbers display a wealth of nonlinear effects such as hysteresis and instabilities at high flow rates. Despite their wide application in practically all vehicles, both on- and off-road, a universal analytical model that captures the essential shock absorber dynamics and compressibility effects for various common damper architectures is lacking. This paper presents such a model and derives its system of equations from first principles for dampers of monotube- and piggyback-type. By applying the model to a typical suspension configuration, all relevant system variables, such as pressure drop, shim stack deflection, and damping force, are computed. Nonlinear oscillations and hysteresis loops, which might prove dangerous during operation, can be predicted effortlessly. The results achieved with the mathematical model are validated and agree well with test bench measurements. Furthermore, the presented approach is shown to be easily modifiable to describe the physical processes within other hydraulic shock absorber geometries in use today.

description: In this paper we propose the study of the $W^+W^-$ and $μ^+μ^-$ production by two-photon interactions in $pp$ collisions at LHC energies to constrain the photon flux associated to an ultrarelativistic proton. We consider the current parametrizations for the photon distribution of the proton and estimate the effective photon - photon luminosities for elastic, semielastic and inelastic processes. Moreover, we present predictions for the rapidity and invariant mass distributions for the two-photon production of $W^+W^-$ and $μ^+μ^-$ in $γγ$ interactions at LHC energies. We demonstrate that the semielastic and inelastic predictions are strongly dependent on the description of the inelastic photon flux, and that the relative contribution of the different processes depends on the invariant mass of the final state. Our results implies that a dedicated experimental analysis of the two-photon production of $W^+W^-$ and $μ^+μ^-$ with the tagging of one of the protons in the final state can be useful to constrain the magnitude of the inelastic component of the photon distribution.

description: The transformer is primarily used in the field of natural language processing. Recently, it has been adopted and shows promise in the computer vision (CV) field. Medical image analysis (MIA), as a critical branch of CV, also greatly benefits from this state-of-the-art technique. In this review, we first recap the core component of the transformer, the attention mechanism, and the detailed structures of the transformer. After that, we depict the recent progress of the transformer in the field of MIA. We organize the applications in a sequence of different tasks, including classification, segmentation, captioning, registration, detection, enhancement, localization, and synthesis. The mainstream classification and segmentation tasks are further divided into eleven medical image modalities. A large number of experiments studied in this review illustrate that the transformer-based method outperforms existing methods through comparisons with multiple evaluation metrics. Finally, we discuss the open challenges and future opportunities in this field. This task-modality review with the latest contents, detailed information, and comprehensive comparison may greatly benefit the broad MIA community.

description: Risk factors for the newly identified “intrinsic” breast cancer subtypes (luminal A, luminal B, basal-like and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive/estrogen receptor-negative) were determined in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study, a population-based, case–control study of African-American and white women. Immunohistochemical markers were used to subtype 1,424 cases of invasive and in situ breast cancer, and case subtypes were compared to 2,022 controls. Luminal A, the most common subtype, exhibited risk factors typically reported for breast cancer in previous studies, including inverse associations for increased parity and younger age at first full-term pregnancy. Basal-like cases exhibited several associations that were opposite to those observed for luminal A, including increased risk for parity and younger age at first term full-term pregnancy. Longer duration breastfeeding, increasing number of children breastfed, and increasing number of months breastfeeding per child were each associated with reduced risk of basal-like breast cancer, but not luminal A. Women with multiple live births who did not breastfeed and women who used medications to suppress lactation were at increased risk of basal-like, but not luminal A, breast cancer. Elevated waist-hip ratio was associated with increased risk of luminal A in postmenopausal women, and increased risk of basal-like breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women. The prevalence of basal-like breast cancer was highest among premenopausal African-American women, who also showed the highest prevalence of basal-like risk factors. Among younger African-American women, we estimate that up to 68% of basal-like breast cancer could be prevented by promoting breastfeeding and reducing abdominal adiposity.

description: A protocol for transferring an unknown single qubit state has quantum features when the average fidelity of the outcomes is greater than 2/3. We use the probabilistic and unambiguous state extraction scheme as a mechanism to redistribute the fidelity in the outcome of the teleportation when the process is performed with an X-state as a noisy quantum channel. We show that the entanglement of the channel is necessary but not sufficient in order for the total average fidelity f_X to display quantum features, i.e., we find a threshold C_X for the concurrence of the channel. If the mechanism for redistributing fidelity is successfully applied then we find a filtrable outcome with normalized average fidelity f_{X,USE,0} greater than f_X. In addition, we find the threshold concurrence of the channel C_{X,USE,0} in order for the normalized average fidelity to display quantum features. Surprisingly, we find that the threshold concurrence C_{X,USE,0} can be lesser than C_X. Finally, we show that if the mechanism for redistributing fidelity fails then the respective filtrable outcome has average fidelity lesser than 2/3.

description: Phonons, the ubiquitous quanta of vibrational energy, play a vital role in the performance of quantum technologies. Conversely, unintended coupling to phonons degrades qubit performance and can lead to correlated errors in superconducting qubit systems. Regardless of whether phonons play an enabling or deleterious role, they do not typically admit control over their spectral properties, nor the possibility of engineering their dissipation to be used as a resource. Here we show that coupling a superconducting qubit to a bath of piezoelectric surface acoustic wave phonons enables a novel platform for investigating open quantum systems. By shaping the loss spectrum of the qubit via the bath of lossy surface phonons, we demonstrate preparation and dynamical stabilization of superposition states through the combined effects of drive and dissipation. These experiments highlight the versatility of engineered phononic dissipation and advance the understanding of mechanical losses in superconducting qubit systems.

description: Mercury has been described as been in daily household items such as soaps, skin-lightening creams (SLC), and topical disinfectants. Mercury exposure can reportedly cause damage to the optic nerve and retina. A 30-year-old Somali woman presented with decreased vision and was found to have bilateral optic atrophy. Neuroimaging and laboratory work-up for nutritional deficiencies, heavy metals, and syphilis were performed. Evaluation revealed normal neuroimaging and laboratory work-up except for elevated serum and urine mercury levels. Mercury levels at the initial blood test was 11.1 ug/L (normal limits < 10.0 ug/L) and was 15.7 ug/L on repeat testing. A 24-h urine test showed elevated mercury at 16 ug/24 h (normal limits < 2 ug/24 h). Evaluation of an unlabelled SLC that she was using showed the presence of mercury. It is worth testing for heavy metals in the work-up of bilateral optic atrophy. Clinicians should consider cosmetic products as a potential source of mercury exposure and recommend discontinuation if mercury is present.

description: En vue de la transition écologique, construire en terre semble une option intéressante d’un point de vue environnemental. Les blocs de terre comprimée (BTC) sont faciles à mettre en œuvre et assurent un confort hygrothermique. Néanmoins, les propriétés de la terre sont assez variables et il n’y a pas de formulation unique pour tous les types de terre. La norme XP13-901 relative aux BTC recommande un fuseau granulaire pour des résultats favorables notamment en termes de résistance mécanique. Par contre, la bonne performance des BTC n’est pas garantie si tous les paramètres qui entrent en jeu ne sont optimisés comme le pourcentage d’argile, la quantité d’eau, le mode de cure, la pression de compactage ainsi que le type et le pourcentage de stabilisant. Afin d’optimiser la formulation, plusieurs essais de laboratoire sont requis ce qui peut être coûteux en termes de prix, de temps et de matière. Dans cet article, un modèle d’apprentissage automatique est proposé en se basant sur des données issues de la littérature. Par l’intelligence artificielle, le modèle a la capacité de prédire les performances des BTC (ex : résistance à la compression) en fonction de diverses formulations et différents procédés de fabrication. Le modèle peut également être utilisé comme un outil d’aide à la formulation pour atteindre des performances cibles.

Self-propelled Worm-like Filaments: Spontaneous Spiral Formation, Structure, and Dynamics

description: Worm-like filaments that are propelled homogeneously along their tangent vector are studied by Brownian dynamics simulations. Systems in two dimensions are investigated, corresponding to filaments adsorbed to interfaces or surfaces. A large parameter space covering weak and strong propulsion, as well as flexible and stiff filaments is explored. For strongly propelled and flexible filaments, the free-swimming filaments spontaneously form stable spirals. The propulsion force has a strong impact on dynamic properties, such as the rotational and translational mean square displacement and the rate of conformational sampling. In particular, when the active self-propulsion dominates thermal diffusion, but is too weak for spiral formation, the rotational diffusion coefficient has an activity-induced contribution given by $v_c/ξ_P$, where $v_c$ is the contour velocity and $ξ_P$ the persistence length. In contrast, structural properties are hardly affected by the activity of the system, as long as no spirals form. The model mimics common features of biological systems, such as microtubules and actin filaments on motility assays or slender bacteria, and artificially designed microswimmers.

Numerical simulations of concrete specimens with the gradient-enhanced Eikonal non-local damage model
Creators: name: Ribeiro Nogueira, Breno
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2023

description: Accurately predicting the response of structures subjected to complex loadings is a challenging task in civil engineering. In particular, studying cracking nucleation and propagation is essential to assess structural performances. Quasi-brittle materials, such as concrete, are generally modeled using strain-softening constitutive models. According to the Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) approach, material degradation is represented at a macroscopic level by a scalar or tensorial damage variable. However, the strong localization of the mechanical fields leads to mesh-dependent finite numerical simulations. To recover the objectivity of the results, damage models need to be regularized. Numerous techniques have been proposed (e.g., phase-field formulations, micromorphic medium, etc.), acting as localization limiters. This work concentrates on one class of regularization methods: the so-called non-local damage models of gradient type. This paper applies the eikonal gradient-enhanced model to the simulation of a few concrete specimens. The structural response and the damage maps are then compared to the experimental results taken from the literature.

description: We have proposed a method to synchronize multiple spin-transfer torque oscillators based on spin pumping, inverse spin Hall, and spin Hall effects. The proposed oscillator system consists of a series of nano-magnets in junction with a normal metal with high spin-orbit coupling, and an accumulative feedback loop. We conduct simulations to demonstrate the effect of modulated charge currents in the normal metal due to spin pumping from each nano-magnet. We show that the interplay between the spin Hall effect and inverse spin Hall effect results in synchronization of the nano-magnets.

Silent films

description: If we merely looked at contemporary advertisements and reviews, it would appear that Musidora had directed only two films in the silent era: Vicenta (1919), and La terre des taureaux/The Land of the Bulls (1924). These credits can be further substantiated by personal statements about the making of these films published by Musidora herself in contemporary periodicals. There, she additionally claimed credit for writing both scripts as well as for editing La terre des taureaux. However, on the two other films that were produced under the banner of her company, Société des Films Musidora, she credited as director her codirector Jacques Lasseyne. Even the richly illustrated publicity booklets of Pour Don Carlos/For Don Carlos (1921) and Soleil et ombre/Sun and Shadow (1922) listed Musidora only in the cast, and her article in the magazine Ève bore the telling title “Comment j’ai tourné ‘Don Carlos’” or “How I Acted in Don Carlos” (10). After the 1940s, however, Musidora began to claim the codirector and adaptation credits of these productions for herself, and these credits have now been accepted as definitive. Additionally, she added the credit for codirection, with Roger Lion, for La flamme cachée/The hidden flame (1918), which she mentioned in a 1950 article on her professional collaboration with her artistic mentor and longtime friend, Colette.

Etude du potentiel de gonflement et de retrait des sols argileux sous chaussée des routes des marais

Year: 2023

description: Le changement climatique et les périodes de sécheresse/humidification prolongées sont à l’origine d’importants dommages au niveau des infrastructures routières construites sur des sols argileux. En effet, les sols argileux présentent une variation de volume plus ou moins importante en fonction de leur teneur en eau et de leur minéralogie. Les travaux présentés dans cet article rentrent dans le cadre de l’identification et de la prévision du comportement des sols argileux sous chaussée des routes des marais département de la Charente-Maritime (Sud-Ouest de la France). Plusieurs carottages allant jusqu’à une profondeur de 4 m ont été réalisés afin de caractériser les propriétés physico-chimiques des argiles. La granulométrie, la sédimentométrie, les limites d’Atterberg, la valeur au bleu de méthylène, le pH, le pourcentage en matières organiques ainsi que la minéralogie ont été dans un premier temps déterminés pour des échantillons de sols relatifs à différentes profondeurs et différents carottages. Des essais de gonflement libre, de gonflement à l’œdomètre et des essais de retrait linéaire ont été ensuite réalisés afin d’évaluer le comportement de ses sols vis à vis des phénomènes de retrait et de gonflement. Les potentiels de gonflement et de retrait des sols argileux ont été aussi estimés via des modèles empiriques basés sur plusieurs paramètres d’identification afin de vérifier leur validité ou pas par rapport à nos sols. Les résultats montrent une forte argilosité des sols avec une sensibilité forte au gonflement et au retrait.

Formulation of an eco-binder based on calcined sediment, ground granulated blast furnace slag, and waste paper fly ash
Creators: name: Zeinab, Mkahal
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2023

description: The formulation of an eco-binder based on alternative materials only makes sense if its technical and environmental relevance has been evaluated. This study focuses on the effect of replacing up to 40% of Portland cement with calcined sediment, ground granulated blast furnace slag, and waste paper fly ash. The numerical analysis to choose the formulation was carried out by using commercial software (Design Expert) dedicated to experimental modeling designs. Water demand, setting time, volume expansion, compressive strengths, and heat of hydration (Langavant calorimetry) were performed to evaluate the effect of replacing cement with alternative materials on matrix properties. The results obtained reveal that the proposed mixes meet the specifications of many types of hydraulic binders. From an environmental point of view, the leaching test carried out on the formulations shows the stabilization of inorganic pollutants present in the alternative materials. In conclusion, this approach contributes to reducing the environmental impact of the cement industry by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

description: Closed combustion devices like gas turbines and rockets are prone to thermoacoustic instabilities. Design engineers in the industry need tools to accurately identify and remove instabilities early in the design cycle. Many different approaches have been developed by the researchers over the years. In this work we focus on the Helmholtz wave equation based solver which is found to be relatively fast and accurate for most applications. This solver has been a subject of study in many previous works. The Helmholtz wave equation in frequency space reduces to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem which needs to be solved to compute the acoustic modes. Most previous implementations of this solver have relied on linearized solvers and iterative methods which as shown in this work are not very efficient and sometimes inaccurate. In this work we make use of specialized algorithms implemented in SLEPc that are accurate and efficient for computing eigenvalues of nonlinear eigenvalue problems. We make use of the n-tau model to compute the reacting source terms in the Helmholtz equation and describe the steps involved in deriving the Helmholtz eigenvalue equation and obtaining its solution using the SLEPc library.

Depletion of brain noradrenaline and dopamine by 6‐hydroxydopamine
Creators: name: Breese, George R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1971

description: Summary 10 After intracisternal administration, 6-hydroxydopamine had a greater effect on brain noradrenaline than on dopamine. 2) Administration of two doses of 6-hydroxydopamine increased the depletion of noradrenaline but not of dopamine. 3) Small doses of 6‐hydroxydopamine decreased the concentration of noradrenaline with little or no effect on dopamine. Tyrosine hydroxylase activity was not reduced with these treatments. 4) While pargyline pretreatment offered no advantage in the depletion of brain noradrenaline after 6-hydroxydopamine, depletion of brain dopamine was greatly potentiated by this treatment. The reduction of striatal tyrosine hydroxylase activity observed after 6-hydroxydopamine was also potentiated by pargyline pretreatment. 5) The amounts of labelled noradrenaline and dopamine formed from 3H-tyrosine were greatly reduced by 6-hydroxydopamine treatment. After 3H-DOPA, formation of noradrenaline was greatly reduced while formation of labelled dopamine was only moderately reduced suggesting that decarboxylation of DOPA can occur in other than catecholamine containing neurones. 6) Desmethylimipramine and imipramine inhibited depletion of noradrenaline produced by 6-hydroxydopamine but did not alter depletion of dopamine. Reserpine did not inhibit depletion of catecholamines produced by 6-hydroxydopamine. 7) Administration of 6-hydroxydopamine to developing rats lowered both noradrenaline and dopamine concentrations as well as the tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the brains of these animals.

description: We study the honeycomb lattice $t$-$J$ model using the fermionic tensor network approach. By examining the ansatz with various unit cells, we discover several different stripe states with different periods that compete strongly with uniform states. At very small doping $δ< 0.05$, we find almost degenerate uniform $d$-wave superconducting ground states coexisting with antiferromagnetic order. While at larger doping $δ> 0.05$, the ground state is an approximately half-filled stripe-ordered state, where the stripe period decreases with increasing hole doping $δ$. Furthermore, the stripe states with the lowest variational energy always display $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave pairing symmetry. The similarity between our results and those on the square lattice contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of doped Mott insulators.

description: Introduced by Kodama and Williams, Bruhat interval polytopes are generalized permutohedra closely connected to the study of torus orbit closures and total positivity in Schubert varieties. We show that the 1-skeleton posets of these polytopes are lattices and classify when the polytopes are simple, thereby resolving open problems and conjectures of Fraser, of Lee--Masuda, and of Lee--Masuda--Park. In particular, we classify when generic torus orbit closures in Schubert varieties are smooth.

description: GM dynamics during pregnancy vary among different populations and are affected by many factors, such as living environments and diet. This study aims to observe and evaluate the changes in the structure and function of GM from the first to the third trimester of pregnancy in Chinese women, and to explore the main factors affecting the changes of intestinal microecology. 55 Chinese pregnant women were recruited in the study and their fecal samples were collected during the first (P1), second (P2) and third trimester (P3) of pregnancy. Metagenomic sequencing was used to compare the composition and function of GM in different pregnancy periods.

description: The spin-boson model (or the dissipative two-state system) is a model for the study of dissipation and decoherence in quantum mechanics. The spin-boson model with Ohmic dissipation is an integrable theory, related to several other integrable systems including the anisotropic Kondo and resonant level models. Here we consider the problem of computing the overlaps between two ground states corresponding to different values of parameters of the Ohmic spin-boson Hamiltonian. We argue that this can be understood as a part of the problem of quantizing the mKdV/sine-Gordon integrable hierarchy. The main objective of this work is to analyze how the Anderson orthogonality affects the Yang-Baxter integrable structure underlying the theory.

description: This nurse practitioner-led quality improvement (QI) study was designed to improve clinical performance in hypertension (HTN) management that focused on self-management support (SMS) among adult patients at a primary care clinic with a high rate of cardiovascular disease. The design included retrospective baseline of meaningful use population data (N=1,210) generated six months prior to study start date and an analysis of the data during the six-month QI study (N=1,409). Interventions included staff QI training along with patient education and lifestyle goal setting for SMS of HTN. Electronic medical record data included blood pressure, cholesterol, tobacco use, body mass index, and self-management goals. The primary objective, >80% of adults would have documented self-management goals, was achieved and significantly improved from baseline. Nurse practitioners have an important role in meeting the current demand for HTN management in primary care and supporting patients in self-management.

description: Carbonation is one of the main depassivation phenomena in reinforced concrete. The prediction of this phenomenon presents a major importance, especially in the case of concrete containing low carbon binders. This paper develops a methodology using an artificial neural network (ANN) to compute the carbonation depth for different concretes. Twenty-six sources were used to build the database, allowing the obtention of 2537 sets of data. Besides, one of the main advantages of the present method is to enable the consideration of accelerated and natural test conditions with a unique tool. This way, equivalences between accelerated and natural carbonation rates can be established. Twenty variables are considered as input parameters, concerning essentially the composition of the concrete material (with clinker, filler, slag, fly ash, sand, aggregate and water content as well as sand and aggregate quality), the environmental conditions of the curing treatment, the preconditioning and the carbon dioxide exposure (time, temperature, relative humidity and partial pressure of CO2). The learning and validation of the results allowed the obtention of determination coefficients of 0.98 and 0.93 respectively. The purpose of this tool being its application in an operational context, verifications on highroad structures are performed and lead to satisfactory results (mean relative errors inferior to 15%).

Evaluation des effets du processus de ‎l’impression 3D sur le comportement au ‎jeune âge des matériaux cimentaires
Creators: name: Harbouz, Ilhame
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering

description: L'impression 3D du béton est un secteur en plein essor dans l'industrie de la construction. De nombreuses études ont été menées pour développer des matériaux cimentaires adaptés à ce type de procédé. L’implémentation de cette technologie dans le secteur de la construction se justifie à plusieurs niveaux. Celle-ci permettrait de réduire l’impact environnemental du secteur sans avoir à ralentir la cadence de construction. Pour atteindre un tel objectif, l’impact du processus de l’impression sur le comportement des matériaux doit être évalué afin d’atteindre la performance envisagée des structures imprimées. La présente étude s’inscrit dans ce cadre et vise à évaluer les changements que le matériau peut subir lors des différentes étapes du processus de l’impression, principalement lors de l’extrusion et du dépôt. Un programme expérimental a été mené pour évaluer la variation des propriétés rhéologiques, de la structuration et du retrait chimique des matériaux cimentaires imprimables avant et après l’impression. Les résultats de cette étude peuvent être exploités pour l’optimisation de formulations adaptées pour une mise en place par impression 3D en prenant en considération des changements qui peuvent survenir lors du processus de l’impression.
