AI Thread Summary
Concrete is inherently weak in tension due to its low tensile strength, which can be improved by incorporating materials like steel reinforcement or using fiber-reinforced composites. Welded stainless steel structures may fail from corrosion due to factors such as inadequate passivation, exposure to harsh environments, or poor welding techniques. To address pollution from gaseous impurities during ironmaking, methods like using cleaner technologies and implementing effective filtration systems can be employed. Resources for further information include academic websites and engineering forums. Understanding these concepts is crucial for enhancing material performance and reducing environmental impact.

Hi all in here,

Do you have any idea why concrete is weak when tested in tension and list the steps that can be taken to overcome this? and why might a welded stainless steel structure fail from corrosion?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
any answer??
 
one more question

During ironmaking, some impurities are gaseous,how can pollution from these be reduced?

that sounds more like a demand than a question and that question sounds more like chemistry than physics
 
could you give me any location to looking for answers,any website that I find everything regarding my questions.

thanks

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
