A novel method combining the time-reversal method (TRM) with wavelet analysis was proposed for damage imaging in mesoscale concrete modeling. The damage was imaged by the convergence of time-reversed wave signals after wavelet analysis. Through numerical study, three concrete models of different damage sizes were built …

RAW MEAL HOMOGENIZATION AND STORAGE IN CEMENT …
There are two basic homogenizing processes for dry raw meal i.e. Batch process and continuous process. In the batch process, at least two pairs of double deck silos, each consisting of a blending silo at the top and a storage silo below are used. Sequence of operation of the silo i.e. filling, blending and storing is made independently.

Investigating stress–strain relationship and damage
The process of axial compression damage of BFRC specimens can be divided into three stages: 1) Elastic stage: In the initial loading stage, no apparent cracks form on the surface of the specimen in the elastic phase. The cement matrix is well bonded to the aggregate, so they jointly withstand the load. Thus, stress grows linearly with strain.
