High-gradient magnetic filtration (HGMF) is a non-destructive separation technique that captures magnetic constituents from a matrix containing other non-magnetic species. One characteristic that actinide metals share across much of the group is that they are magnetic.
We have been working to adapt background oriented schlieren (BOS) imaging to directly visualize building leakage, which is fast and easy.
The use of biomass fiber reinforcement for polymer composite applications, like those in buildings or automotive, has expanded rapidly due to the low cost, high stiffness, and inherent renewability of these materials. Biomass are commonly disposed of as waste.
The incorporation of low embodied carbon building materials in the enclosure is increasing the fuel load for fire, increasing the demand for fire/flame retardants.
The traditional window installation process involves many steps. These are becoming even more complex with newer construction requirements such as installation of windows over exterior continuous insulation walls.
We have developed an aerosol sampling technique to enable collection of trace materials such as actinides in the atmosphere.
Concrete floor slab flatness and levelness are parameters often specified in construction documents that contractors must meet to ensure a high quality of construction. However, the measurement of these parameters is cumbersome and time-consuming.
