2. Dry rot treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_rot_treatment

   Glycol and boron solutions are hydrophilic (water-loving) and react with the water in wood, making it unavailable for the fungus. This is why dry rot can seem to be a little stringy; cells grown in drier periods are smaller than the larger, "plumper" cells that grow in Spring, as can be seen in tree rings used to tell how old the tree is. This ...

3. Concrete degradation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation

   In its turn, the volumetric expansion of the swollen aggregates damages the concrete matrix and extensive cracks propagate causing structural damages in the concrete structure. On the surface of concrete pavements, the ASR can also cause pop-outs, i.e. the expulsion of small cones (up to 3 cm (1 in) in diameter), corresponding to aggregate ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_reducer

   Water reducers offer several advantages in their use, listed below: reduces the water content by 5-10%; decreases the concrete porosity; increases the concrete strength by up to 25% (as less water is required for the concrete mixture to remain workable) increases the workability (assuming the amount of free water remains constant)

6. Sulfate attack in concrete and mortar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate_attack_in_concrete...

   A fairly well-defined reaction front can often be observed in thin sections; ahead of the front the concrete is normal, or near normal. Behind the reaction front, the composition and the microstructure of concrete are modified. These changes may vary in type or severity but commonly include: Extensive cracking; Expansion

7. Shakes (timber) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakes_(timber)

   A crack or cracks propagating from near the edge of the log towards the centre, usually along the line of the medullary rays, causing the wood to shrink more at right angles to the medullary rays than along them, causing warping of anything made from the wood. The cause is often rapid or uneven seasoning, causing the outside of the log to ...

8. Polished concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polished_concrete

   A concrete densifier is a solution used to penetrate into the concrete and create a chemical reaction to harden and dust-proof the surface. During concrete polishing, the surface is processed through a series of steps (in general a minimum of four grinding steps of processing is considered polished concrete) utilizing progressively finer grits ...
