In Situ Measurement of the Compressive Strength of Local Concrete: Correlation between Non-destructive and Destructive Tests

Saïdou Bamogo, David Y. K. Toguyeni, Fati Zoma & Mohamed Yerbanga · Physical Science International Journal · 2020

The method used to evaluate the quality of concrete in structures includes, among other things, compressive strength testing of specimens cast on site. This method has shortcomings due to the non-uniformity in their formulation processes of the concrete studied in laboratories an...

The Greenhouse Effect Calculations by an Iteration Method and the Issue of Stratospheric Cooling

Antero Ollila · Physical Science International Journal · 2020

The anthropogenic global warming theory is based on the greenhouse effect (GH), which is due to the longwave (LW) absorption by GH gases and clouds according to the IPCC. This LW radiation downward is the imminent cause for the GH effect increasing the surface temperature by 33°C...
