Abstract:Sacrificial fragile cementitious foams (SFCFs) act as
a core material
of the engineered material arresting system (EMAS) installed in airports
to enhance the safe take-offs and landings of aircrafts. The foam
structures and foaming mechanisms that greatly impact the collapse
strength, specific energy, and arresting efficiency of SFCFs, however,
have not been fully addressed. Herein, the engineering properties,
chemical characteristics, and pore–skeleton structures of three
batches of industrial SFCFs were expe… 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.
