Compression Performance of Newly Designed Replaceable Tubular Steel Piers by Haifeng Li, Xuehang Zhao, Wei Sun, Zhe Xiong

“…Considering the effect of the steel plate thickness on bearing capacity and deformation performance, the thickness tw of the outer constrained steel plate should be equal to the thickness t of the common steel tubular plate, and the thickness tf of the LYP steel tubular plate should satisfy t ≤ tf ≤ 2t. Finally, a design formula is proposed to calculate the axial bearing capacity of newly designed tubular steel piers with constrained LYP steel plates.…”

Acoustic Emission and Failure Modes for Coal-Rock Structure under Different Loading Rates by Ning Wang, Yingqian Xu, Dengyuan Zhu, Nan Wang, Benfu Yu

“…The following conclusions are drawn: (1) when loading rate was relatively low, plastic deformation of coal mass fully developed, while surface cracks of coal mass was not apparent and slip along the transfixion crack occurred in the postpeak stage; (2) with the increase in loading rate, surface tensile cracks developed into splitting cracks at the end of the prepeak stage and throughout the postpeak stage, and brittle failure finally happened due to the release of nonlinear step-shaped energy or one-time strain energy release of upper rock mass, resulting in the damage of internal bearing structure and weakening of bearing capacity; (3) the deformation and failure process of combined samples showed obvious phases, and corresponding AE energy release rate could be divided into periodic linear growth and transient growth, while the cumulative energy of AE events has multiple peak points and transient growth with the increase of loading rate; (4) it was demonstrated that two distinct frequency bands existed in AE events, which were about 50 kHz and 150 kHz, and the distribution of AE events near 50 kHz was larger and stronger, representing the main frequency range of cracks in coal mass. …”

An overview of the status, productivity and determinants of improved forage technology adoption in Ethiopia: a review by Mamaru Tesfaye, Lemma Tessema

“…Generally, to intensify the likelihood of the adoption of improved forage technologies, policymakers and concerned stakeholders should focus on strengthening the research-extension-farmers (R-E-F) linkage, adult education, and capacity building, coaching farmers to access improved forage seeds, information on forage husbandry and feeding, strengthening extension systems as well as capabilities which can improve the livelihoods of smallholder dairy farmers. Finally, the technology developer should incorporate the needs and perceptions of farmers through technology design and development; and consider the key demand and supply side during technology development, which enhances the adoption of the technology more easily. …”
