Results for tag: "Abrasion"

Abrasion is a type of erosion that occurs when materials are worn away by friction. In civil engineering, abrasion is a common phenomenon that can cause damage to structures and infrastructure. It is caused by the movement of particles, such as sand, gravel, and other debris, which can wear away at surfaces over time. Abrasion can also be caused by the impact of water, wind, and other environmental factors. Abrasion can be a major problem for civil engineers, as it can lead to the deterioration of structures and infrastructure. To prevent abrasion, civil engineers must use protective coatings and other methods to protect surfaces from wear and tear. There are a number of companies that specialize in abrasion protection for civil engineering projects. These companies provide a range of products and services, including protective coatings, abrasion-resistant materials, and other solutions. Examples of companies in this market include AkzoNobel, PPG Industries, and Sherwin-Williams. Show Less Read more
