Biochar (bio-charcoal) is a low-cost and eco-friendly material. It can be obtained by thermochemical conversion of different biomass sources, for example, in the total absence oxygen (pyrolysis) or oxygen-limited atmosphere (gasification). The porous carbonaceous structure biochar, resulting from thermal treatment, exploited cement-based composite production. By introducing biochar powder other fillers cement paste, it possible to enhance shielding properties paste. environmental impact...
The partial substitution of non-renewable materials in cementitious composites with eco-friendly is promising not only terms cost reduction, but also improving the composites’ shielding properties. water and carbon content a commercial lignin-based biochar analyzed thermal gravimetric analysis. Cementitious composite samples 14 wt.% 18 are realized. Good dispersion filler observed by SEM fabricated order to fit rectangular waveguide for measurements effectiveness X-band. A 15 dB was obtained...
The performances of two natural gas small-scale trigeneration plants are dealt with in the paper. part a new cogeneration and system laboratory at Politecnico di Torino (Turin, Italy), which will be set up exploited for scientific technical purposes. first plant has 126/220/210 kW electrical, heating cooling capacities, respectively, it is characterized by an innovative internal combustion engine (ICE) that been coupled to liquid LiCl–water desiccant system. other 100/145/98 capacities...
Shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a critical issue in civil applications generally solved with metal screens. In recent years, the properties of many composite materials filled carbon nanotubes or graphene carbon-based coating have been analysed aim using them for shielding applications. Among other materials, biochar, derived from biomass and characterized by high content, emerges as sustainable, renewable, environmentally friendly, inexpensive material. this paper,...
The building sector has a significant impact on the environment due to its unproductive and technologically outdated practices. Although digital tools have emerged as potential solutions, current practices often lack automation efficiency. Throughout history, several self-supporting techniques, i.e., construction methods dedicated of shells that do not need support during works, been developed. These techniques allow for reducing waste minimizing costs. Combining could aid development...
Shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a crucial point in aerospace industry and for civil applications. In recent years, the mechanical electrical properties of composites materials filled with carbon nanotubes or graphene have been analysed aim substituting to standard metal structures used shielding. this work, an eco-friendly material as biochar obtained from biomass pyrolysis filler cement shielding composite X-band are analysed.
Abstract The behaviour of axisymmetric masonry shells can be simulated by a system forces constituted meridian acting in the vertical planes, and hoop circumferentially. A crucial component for assessment these structures using Modified Thrust Line Method (MTLM) is determination forces, whose computation strenuous, limiting practical application MTLM. Working around this limitation, current research introduces strategy to manipulate graphically implementing function describing their...
Two natural gas small-scale trigeneration plants are presented in the paper. Both going to be started-up at Politecnico di Torino (Turin, Italy) and part of a new cogeneration systems laboratory, which is setup exploited for scientific technical purposes. The first plant has 126/220/210 kW electrical, heating cooling capacities, respectively, characterized by an innovative internal combustion engine that been coupled liquid LiCl-water desiccant system, provides cooled dehumidified air...
A new test facility is here described; it has been designed to measure carefully the coefficient of moisture expansion (CME) in specimens made advanced composite materials. The basically composed a thermostat, contained vacuum chamber, which five carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) samples, one Invar sample, and six displacement transducers are enclosed. CFRP first subjected an accelerated absorption cycle and, later on, placed into environment (10−3 Pa) thermostat at temperature 330K,...
We present some peculiar results about the solitary-wave dynamics of novel tensegritybased metamaterials.It has been previously shown that one-dimensional chains triangular tensegrity prisms with stiffening behavior support propagation compressive solitary waves.We show such result can be generalized to two-dimensional and three-dimensional modular lattices composed polygonal polyhedral units.Differently from case, response these originates at interface between adjacent units, not unit...
Abstract The research starts from an analogy found between two apparently very different structural solutions: the double spiral pattern of herringbone brick courses in domes built by Antonio da Sangallo Younger (1484-1546) during Renaissance, and particular a wooden floor ‘à la Serlio’, described Amand Rose Emy his Treatise at beginning 19 th century, made diagonal beams reciprocally sustained. has geometrical relationship with cross-herringbone pattern, so that latter can be obtained some...
