Expansion Characteristics and Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Under Non-Uniform Expansion Induced by Alkali-Silica Reaction.

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is an important factor that seriously affects the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The current research on alkali-aggregate mainly focuses on the deterioration mechanism of materials and the mechanical properties of standard specimens. However, there is a gap in the field of research on the effect of alkali-aggregate damage on the level of RC structures.

Variability of fuel consumption and CO emissions of a gasoline passenger car under multiple in-laboratory and on-road testing conditions.

An increasing divergence regarding fuel consumption (and/or CO emissions) between real-world and type-approval values for light-duty gasoline vehicles (LDGVs) has posed severe challenges to mitigating greenhouse gases (GHGs) and achieving carbon emissions peak and neutrality. To address this divergence issue, laboratory test cycles with more real-featured and transient traffic patterns have been developed recently, for example, the China Light-duty Vehicle Test Cycle for Passenger cars (CLTC-P). We collected fuel consumption and CO emissions data of a LDGV under various conditions based on laboratory chassis dynamometer and on-road tests.
