A Comparative Evaluation of Plastic Property Test Methods for Self-consolidating Concrete and Their Relationships with Hardened Properties

Shindman, Benjamin 25 August 2011 (has links)
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a special type of concrete that flows under its own weight and spreads readily into place while remaining stable. Although SCC technology has been rapidly progressing over the last 20 years and continues to develop, the relationships between the fresh, hardened and durability properties of SCC are not well documented. The focus of this investigation is twofold. Firstly, the use of SCC necessitates reliable and accurate characterization of material properties. A variety of laboratory test methods are used to evaluate SCC’s plastic properties. Recognizing that various test methods evaluate the same plastic properties, there is a need to critically investigate the adequacy and sensitivity of each test. Secondly, outcomes from this project are expected to advance the fundamental understanding of the interplay between the fresh properties of SCC and their implications on hardened properties and durability performance.

Mise au point et évaluation microscopique d'une méthode d'obturation canalaire optimale / Microscopic and chemical assessments of the filling ability using five different filling techniques

Mancino, Davide 08 July 2019 (has links)
Évaluer la capacité de remplissage des cinq différentes techniques d’obturation canalaire dans l’obturation des canaux ovales. Matériel et méthodes : Un total de 220 molaires mandibulaires, avec 1 canal dans la racine distale, a été sélectionné. Chaque canal a été mise en forme jusqu’à la longueur de travail en utilisant un système mono-instrument le WaveOne Gold Primary Les dents préparées ont été divisées au hasard en cinq groupes égaux (n = 40 par groupe) pour l'obturation: condensation à onde continue (CWC), technique avec tuteur GuttaCore (GC), technique avec tuteur Thermafil (TH), technique utilisant un cône unique (SC), condensation hydraulique à froid (CHC). Les pourcentages de GPFA, SFA et VA ainsi que la présence des matériaux d’obturation à l’intérieur des tubulis dentinaires (tag)à longueur de travail (LT) -4mm et -2 mm a été évalué à par microscopie numérique optique, microscopie électronique à balayage (SEM) et microanalyse par rayons X à dispersion d'énergie (EDX). Analyse statistique : Les données collectées ont été analysées avec la version 11.2 de SigmaPlot (Systat Software, Inc., San José, CA, USA). Les pourcentages de GPFA, SFA, VA correspondant aux différentes groupes ont été comparés en utilisant le test de Kruskal-Wallis avec α=0,05. Résultats: à LT-4 et LT-2 mm, cette étude à montré une différence statistiquement significative en terme de capacité d’obturation pour le cinq techniques. À LT-4, les groupes GC et TH ont montré une différence statistiquement significative par rapport aux trois autres groupes en terme de GPFA et SFA. En terme de VA, il y a une différence statistiquement significative avec les groupes SC et CHC tandis qu’aucune différence n’a été démontrée entre les groupes GC , TH et CWC . À LT-2, les groupes GC et TH ont montré une différence statistiquement significative par rapport aux trois autres groupes en terme de GPFA, SFA, VA. Conclusion : 
Cette étude montre clairement que les obturations par GC et TH sont en mesure de remplir les canaux ovales d’une manière plus appropriée que les autres techniques d’obturation. 
Les groupes GC et TH, à LT -4 et -2mm, présentaient des tags de gutta-percha à l’intérieur des tubulis dentinaires. La présence de tags de gutta-percha à l’intérieur des tubulis dentinaires (à la place de tags de ciment beaucoup plus vulnérables) pourrait se comporter comme une barrière physique, capable de sceller les bactéries à l’intérieur des tubulis et surtout non résorbable dans le temps. / Assess the filling ability in oval-shaped canals using five different filling techniques. Materials and Methods : 220 human mandibular first molars with one distal oval canal were selected. Distal Canals were shaped using WaveOne Gold Primary. The prepared teeth were randomly divided in four equal groups (n = 40) for obturation : Continuous Wave Condensation (CWC), GuttaCore carrier based technique (GC), Thermafil (TH) carrier based technique, Single Cone technique (SC), Cold hydraulic Condensation (CHC). The proportions of gutta-percha filled areas (GPFA), sealer filled areas (SFA), void areas (VA) and the tags into dentinal tubules at 4 mm and 2 mm were analyzed by Optical numeric microscope, SEM and EDX. Statistical analysis : they were compared by Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA on ranks, with statistical significance set at α = 0.05. Results : At 4 and 2 mm from the apex, this study discloses statistically different filling ability for the five techniques. At 4 mm from the apex, the GC et TH groups showed significantly higher PGFAs than lateral condensation and System B techniques. The GC et TH groups showed a statistically significance difference compared with the others three groups in terms of higher PGFA, lower SFA. It showed a statistically significance difference with SC and CHC groups in term of VA. At 2 mm level from the apex, the GC et TH groups showed a statistically significance differece compared with the others three groups in terms of higher PGFA, lower SFA and VA. Conclusions : GC obturation is able to fill oval-shaped canals in a more appropriate way than the other filling techniques. GC was the only group which showed the presence of gutta-tags at 4 and 2 mm from the apex. The gutta- percha tags could behave as a physical barrier able to entomb bacteria.
