Toughness and Hardness of Aggregate01:22

Toughness and Hardness of Aggregate

396
Toughness and hardness are critical properties of aggregate materials used in concrete, particularly on pavement surfaces and industrial flooring subjected to heavy loads. Toughness is defined as the aggregate's resistance to failure by impact and is measured by the aggregate impact value (AIV). For this, the aggregate impact value test is performed, wherein the impact is delivered by a standard hammer, which falls freely under its own weight onto the aggregates. The aggregates fragment in...

Abrasion Resistance of Concrete01:23

Abrasion Resistance of Concrete

290
Abrasion resistance is an essential characteristic of concrete that determines its durability and longevity under various wear conditions. Concrete surfaces are vulnerable to different types of abrasion. For instance, surfaces may wear down due to the constant movement of vehicles or be eroded by solids carried in water, as seen in concrete canal linings. Specific tests are conducted to measure the abrasion resistance of concrete.
One such test is the revolving disc test, where three plates...

Accelerated Curing of Concrete01:25

Accelerated Curing of Concrete

293
Accelerating concrete curing is achieved by applying heat and additional moisture. This process accelerates the hydration of the cement, resulting in an earlier strength gain in the concrete. Steam curing is a method wherein the concrete products are either transported through a chamber on a conveyor belt or encased in plastic, allowing steam at atmospheric pressure to circulate freely around them. This process begins with a phase of moist curing that typically lasts between 3 to 5 hours, after...

Fiber Reinforced Concrete01:22

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

178
Fiber-reinforced concrete significantly enhances the structural and nonstructural properties of traditional concrete by incorporating fibers like steel, glass, and polymers. These fibers, varying from natural ones such as sisal and cellulose to manufactured ones like polypropylene and Kevlar, are mixed into hydraulic cement with aggregates. Steel fibers, often preferred for their robustness, contribute to improved ductility, toughness, and post-cracking performance. The concrete is classified...

Impact Strength of Concrete01:21

Impact Strength of Concrete

413
Impact strength in concrete is a critical measure that reflects the material's capability to endure the forces applied during pile driving and when supporting machinery foundations that experience impulsive loads. It is also essential when handling precast concrete components to prevent accidental damage. The impact strength is assessed by observing the concrete's resistance to repeated impacts and energy absorption capacity. A key indicator of significant damage to concrete is when it...

Porosity in Cement Paste01:18

Porosity in Cement Paste

292
The porosity of concrete is a measure of the void spaces within its structure. These spaces impact its strength and durability significantly. When water and cement interact, a chemical reaction called hydration creates a semi-solid paste. This paste includes combined water, making up approximately 23% of the cement's dry mass, and gel water, which fills minuscule voids known as gel pores, accounting for about 28% of the cement gel volume.
The balance of water to cement in the mix is...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Biomaterials Engineering

Background:

  • Resin core materials are crucial for indirect restorations.
  • Assessing the degree of cure is vital for material performance.
  • Hardness is a key indicator of the degree of cure in resin-based materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the Knoop hardness characteristics of 13 contemporary resin core materials.
  • To compare the hardness of photopolymerized and self-cured resin core materials.
  • To evaluate the hardness of resin core materials relative to natural dentin.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of 12 specimens per material using stainless steel molds.
  • Knoop hardness indentations performed on photopolymerized top/bottom surfaces and self-cured surfaces at 10 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours.
  • Statistical analysis using Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn's and repeated measures ANOVA/Tukey's tests.

Main Results:

  • Hardness development was material-dependent.
  • All but two products achieved a 0.8 bottom/top Knoop hardness ratio at 10 minutes.
  • No self-cured material reached hardness similar to photopolymerized surfaces; only one material exceeded dentin hardness.

Conclusions:

  • Hardness development in resin core materials is material-specific.
  • Most materials exhibited adequate hardness for cure assessment at 10 minutes.
  • No tested resin core material consistently matched dentin hardness, highlighting potential limitations.
