Record 7 2002-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
CONT

Deterministic : A type of signal whose spectrum consists of a collection of discrete components, as opposed to a random signal, whose spectrum is spread out or "smeared" in frequency. Some deterministic signals are periodic and their spectra consist of harmonic series. Vibration signatures of machines are in general deterministic, containing one or more harmonic series, but they always have non-deterministic components, such as background noise.

Record 9 2001-05-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Concrete Construction
CONT

Use vibrators capable of transmitting vibration to concrete with a frequency of not less than 100 impulses per second. Operate the vibrator around, but not in contact with transverse or longitudinal joint assemblies. Do not cause segregation when vibrating. Do not operate manual vibrators in one place more than 5 seconds. Use vibrators only to consolidate concrete after it has been properly placed. Do not use vibrators to move or spread concrete. Remove and discard segregated concrete, as directed.

OBS

segregation: Segregation The tendency for the coarse aggregate and drier material remains behind and the mortar and wetter material flows ahead. This also occurs in a vertical direction when wet concrete is over vibrated or dropped vertically into the forms, the mortar and wetter material rising to the top. In aggregate, the coarse particles roll-to the outside edges of the stockpile.

PHR

segregated concrete.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Bétonnage
CONT

La ségrégation peut engendrer des porosités et des nids de graviers mal enrobés. Le résultat est fâcheux aussi bien pour l'aspect (ragréages plus ou moins heureux) que pour la durabilité, les bétons ségrégés étant particulièrement sensibles aux actions agressives, au gel, aux intempéries et n'assurant qu'imparfaitement la protection des armatures contre la corrosion.

OBS

ségrégation : Séparation par gravité des composants d'un mélange fluide ou pâteux, les agrégats ou granulats les plus denses descendant vers le fond du récipient, tandis que les liants et les solvants moins denses remontent vers la surface. Les vibrations accélèrent beaucoup la ségrégation : par exemple, un béton prêt à l'emploi que l'on transporterait sans entretenir un mouvement lent de malaxage en toupie (camion malaxeur) subirait une forte ségrégation.

PHR

béton ségrégé.
