Effect of the Chemical and Mechanical Recycling of PET on the Thermal and Mechanical Response of Mortars and Premixed Screeds
TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) on the thermal performance of building materials has been evaluated, and the results of the experimental campaign have made it possible to evaluate the influence of the recycled material on the physical and mechanical properties and its feasibility in non-structural applications.
Comprehensive Review on the Dynamic and Seismic Behavior of Flat-Bottom Cylindrical Silos Filled With Granular Material
S. Mansour,Luca Pieraccini,Michele Palermo,Dora Foti,Giada Gasparini,Tomaso Trombetti,Stefano Silvestri +6 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive summary of the mainly acknowledged experimental and theoretical advances in the dynamic and seismic behavior of silos, supporting the potential researcher in the field to understand the real differences between the code assumptions and recommendations and the actual conditions, as well as illustrating the open issues to be still further investigated as discussed by the authors .
The ‘miniature silo’ test: A simple experimental set-up to estimate the effective friction coefficient between the granular solid and a horizontally-corrugated cylindrical metal silo wall
TL;DR: In this article , the authors describe a set of miniature-scale tests performed at the University of Bologna intended to establish a simple but useful procedure to directly estimate an average global friction coefficient between the granular solid and a corrugated silo wall.
Shaking table tests of a full-scale base-isolated flat-bottom steel silo equipped with curved surface slider bearings
Marco Furinghetti,S. Mansour,Matteo Marra,Stefano Silvestri,Igor Lanese,Felix Weber,Alberto Pavese +6 more
TL;DR: This study presents shaking table tests on a full-scale base-isolated steel silo, evaluating the performance of curved surface slider bearings in reducing acceleration amplifications and dynamic overpressures by 30-80% under various input types and magnitudes.
