The article discusses the physical and chemical mechanisms of the carbonation phenomenon itself, as well as points out the synergistic effect of frost destruction and concrete carbonation on reinforced concrete elements. Examples of structural damage from engineering practice in the diagnosis of reinforced concrete structures are presented. Two cases of frost and carbonation damage of precast reinforced...
The article contains information about the knowledge of synergism in tribology systems. Two examples of analyses of synergism in tribology systems are presented in the article. In the first example, the interaction coefficient (synergy coefficient) was used to evaluate a set of engine and gear oils composed of special lubricating (surface-active) additives to improve the galling load – a measure of...
