DAMAGE MODELLING IN CONCRETE SUBJECT TO SULFATE ATTACK

Damage modelling in concrete subject to sulfate attack

In this paper, we consider the mechanical effect of the sulfate attack on concrete.The durability analysis of concrete structures in contact to external sulfate ultra glow black soap solutions requires the definition of a proper diffusion-reaction model, for the computation of the varying sulfate concentration and of the consequent ettringite forma

Experimental evolution of Staphylococcus aureus in macrophages: dissection of a conditional adaptive trait promoting intracellular survival

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen associated with important diseases in humans and animals.Macrophages are a key component of the innate immune response to S.aureus infection and play a major role in disease outcomes.To investigate the adaptive evolution of S.aureus in response to macrophages, we developed an experimental infection
