Characterization and applications in infrastructure of steel reinforced polymer and grout composites
… including reinforced concrete (RC) members and wood utility poles. The material constants for single-ply SRP and SRG were experimentally determined from coupon tensile tests and torsion tests. The flexural performance of RC beams with externally bonded SRP and SRG has been investigated …

Performance of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Tapes In Wood Light-Frame Shear Walls
… the bonding characteristics of adhesive tape to wood substrates and then to expand this investigation to cover adhesive-based shear walls subjected to high wind and seismic loadings. A total of 287 monotonic connection tests and 23 reversed cyclic wall tests were performed to achieve these …

The impact of nutrient availability, substrate characteristics, and environmental conditions on wood decay and microbial decomposer communities
Wood is an important store of carbon and nutrients globally, and understanding the decay of that wood is critical for estimating rates of global nutrient and carbon cycling. Nutrient availability is important for driving decay rates as decomposers need nutrients to produce wood decay enzymes. My …

Comparative study on indoor fungi growth incorporated with different antifungal and wall finishings
… efficiency. This research was done on three main substrates which are wood, plasterboard and concrete. These main materials were each coated with four types of coating which are thin wallpaper, thick wallpaper, glycerol based paint and acrylic paint. The growth rate was monitored as all the …

Chemical, Physical, and Biological Factors Influencing Nutrient Availability and Plant Growth in a Pine Tree Substrate
Pine tree substrate (PTS) produced from freshly harvested loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees has potential for replacing or reducing the use of aged pine bark (PB) and peat moss as container substrates for horticulture crop production. The objective of this work was to determine the factors …
