Withdrawal resistances of wood have been applied for in situ assessment of wood in existing timber structures. The author had proposed method to estimate shear strengths of wood from measured withdrawal resistances of probes which are screwed into wood. In order to verify the accuracy of these estimated shear strengths by proposed methods, withdrawal resistance measurements and shear loading tests were conducted for wood. Single withdrawal resistance measurement was applied for wood specimens, and estimated shear strengths from withdrawal measurements were compared to the measured shear strengths by shear loading tests of wood. Correlation between the estimated shear strengths and measured shear strengths of specimens was reasonably good (R2=0.73). Multiple coaxial withdrawal resistance measurement which can provide distribution of shear strengths in cross-section of wood was also proposed. The average of estimated shear strengths by single withdrawal resistances was 7 percent less than that of measured shear strengths. The average of estimated shear strength by multiple coaxial withdrawal resistances was 3 percent greater than that of measured shear strengths. The single withdrawal measurements and multiple coaxial withdrawal resistances are available to estimate shear strengths of wood and shear strength distribution in the cross-section of wood. Estimated shear strengths obtained from these methods will be valuable for strength based in situ assessment of wood.

Influence Of Ph

The influence of pH, adsorbent dose, initial Cu(II) concentration and contact time on the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution by the batch adsorption technique using waste tire rubber ash as a low-cost adsorbent was investigated. The adsorption equilibrium was achieved after 2 h at pH 4-6, the optimum for the adsorption of Cu(II) ions. A dose of 1.5 g/L of adsorbent was sufficient for the optimum removal of copper ions. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and the corresponding sorption constants were evaluated. The adsorption kinetics data were fitted by a first-order equation. The cost of removal is expected to be quite low, as the adsorbent is cheap and easily available in large quantities. The present study showed that waste tire rubber ash was capable of removing copper ions from industrial wastewater samples.
