(2016-12-09)
Edamame [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is vegetable soybean harvested and consumed at the R6 development stage. The growing popularity of edamame as a healthy snack food has led to increased interest in edamame production from ...
Evaluation of Self-Consolidating Concrete for Use in Prestressed Girder Applications
(2005-12-15)
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable, yet cohesive, concrete that is able to fill formwork and completely encapsulate any reinforcement without the need for external vibration. The use of SCC may help ...
Evaluation of Semi-Adiabatic Calorimetry to Quantify Concrete Setting
(2009-12-14)
