Abstract:In many hydraulic constructions such as dams, spillways and stilling basins, large of amounts concrete can be damaged depending upon the long-term activity of water-borne solids. To a great extent, for hydraulic structures, the durability relies upon the resistance that the concrete surface offers to mechanical wear. The surface damage caused by the uninterrupted material removal process, induced by the impact of the water borne solid particles, is termed hydro-abrasion. In nearly all hydraulic structures, thi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
