TL;DR: In this article, the procedures used for measuring the strength and durability of the densified products are discussed and guidelines for developing standards on criteria for the acceptance levels of strength and durable of the denoising products are presented.
Abstract: Effectiveness of a densification process to create strong and durable bonding in densified products such as pellets, briquettes, and cubes can be determined by testing the strength (i.e., compressive resistance, impact resistance, and water resistance), and durability (i.e., abrasion resistance) of the densified products. These tests can indicate the maximum force/stress that the densified products can withstand, and the amount of fines produced during handling, transportation, and storage. In this article, the procedures used for measuring the strength and durability of the densified products are discussed. The effects of constituents of the feed such as starch, protein, fiber, fat, lignin and extractives; feed moisture content; feed particle size and its distribution; feed conditioning temperature/preheating of feed; added binders; and densification equipment variables (forming pressure, and pellet mill and roll press variables) on the strength and durability of the densified products are reviewed. This article will help select process parameters to produce strong and durable densified products from new biomass feedstocks or animal feed formulations. Guidelines for developing standards on criteria for the acceptance levels of strength and durability of the densified products are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report recent advances in the knowledge base relevant to the durability of steel reinforced concrete in chloride environments, including: the role of mineral admixtures in concrete durability, the methods of measuring the chloride ingress into concrete, the challenges in assessing concrete durability from its chloride diffusivity, and the service life modeling of reinforced concrete.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of bacterial carbonate precipitation (biodeposition) on the durability of mortar specimens with different porosity was assessed from the permeation properties and resistance towards degradation processes.
