Type-II glass-like carbon is a widely used material with unique combination of properties including low density, high strength, extreme impermeability to gas and liquid resistance chemical corrosion. It can be considered as carbon-based nanoarchitectured material, consisting disordered multilayer graphene matrix encasing numerous randomly distributed nanosized fullerene-like spheroids. Here we show that under both hydrostatic compression triaxial deformation, this high-strength highly...

Abstract This study experimentally examines the effect of rubber aggregate size on static and dynamic behavior rubberized concrete. Rubberized concrete specimens were prepared with different maximum sizes ranging from 1 to 3 mm 5 while content was kept constant at 15% by volume. The compressive investigated using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests. experimental results have shown that smaller aggregates showed higher strength as compared larger aggregates. Meanwhile, did not...
Nanoseismological analyses on labquakes under controlled conditions shed new lights mechanisms of deep-focus earthquakes.
Abstract Synchrotron‐based high‐pressure/high‐temperature single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction experiments to ~24 GPa and 700 K were conducted on eclogitic garnets (low‐Fe: Prp 28 Alm 38 Grs 33 Sps 1 high‐Fe: 14 62 19 Adr 3 2 ) omphacites Quad 57 Jd 42 Ae 53 27 20 ), using an externally heated diamond anvil cell. Fitting the pressure‐volume‐temperature data a third‐order Birch‐Murnaghan equation of state yields thermoelastic parameters including bulk modulus ( T 0 its pressure derivative ′...
Abstract Southern Tibet is the most active orogenic region on Earth where Indian Plate thrusts under Eurasia, pushing seismic discontinuity between crust and mantle to an unusual depth of ~80 km. Numerous earthquakes occur in lower portion this thickened continental crust, but triggering mechanisms remain enigmatic. Here we show that dry granulite rocks, dominant constituent subducted become brittle when deformed conditions corresponding eclogite stability field. Microfractures propagate...
This review explores the use of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber cloth as an innovative solution for repair and reinforcement concrete structures. UHMWPE is a polymer formed from very large number repeated ethylene (C2H4) units with higher molecular weight long-chain crystallization than normal high-density polyethylene. With its superior tensile strength, elongation, energy absorption capabilities, emerges promising alternative to traditional materials like glass...
SignificanceThe exothermic metamorphic reaction in orthopyroxene (Opx), a major component of oceanic lithospheric mantle, is shown to trigger brittle failure laboratory deformation experiments under conditions where garnet exsolution takes place. The product an extremely fine-grained material, forming narrow zones that are mechanically weak, thereby facilitating macroscopic faulting. Oceanic subduction characterized by two separate bands seismicity, known as the double seismic zone. upper...
This study examines the structural performance of concrete slabs and beams reinforced with various types reinforcement under centrally concentrated loading until failure. Three were studied, including steel meshes (A142), fibers (30 kg/m3), macro polypropylene (PP) (6 kg/m3). The discusses fracture behavior ground enhancement in resulting from inclusion PP terms load–strain load–deflection responses, deflection profiles, crack patterns. In addition, compared flexural fiber-reinforced to...
Abstract Geophysical modeling requires an upper mantle low‐viscosity zone (LVZ); recent results suggest that the LVZ could be within transition (MTZ) or above it, depending on boundary conditions. The rheology of olivine‐dominated uppermost is well constrained experimentally but not MTZ. Here we report first‐time measurement Mg 2 GeO 4 spinel (analogue ringwoodite, dominant mineral lower MTZ) in dislocation creep regime and compare it with olivine. In both cases, incorporate 15–20% pyroxene,...
