Analysis of the bond-slip performance of steel bars and steel fiber recycled concrete based on the constitutive relationship model by Zhengbing Xia, Xiaofang Duan

“… In order to promote the application of steel fiber recycled concrete in projects such as roads and bridges, 25 groups of steel fiber recycled concrete with different mix proportions were designed, taking the replacement rate of recycled aggregate and the volume fraction of steel fibers as experimental parameters, and 77 steel bars and steel fiber recycled concrete bonded specimens were made and pasted with strain gauges for the pull-out test. The research results showed that the greater the replacement rate of recycled aggregates was, the lower the bond strength between steel bars and steel fiber recycled concrete was; in the range of 0~1.2%, the higher the mixing amount of steel fibers was, the greater the bond strength of the specimen was; in the range of 0~1.6%, the higher the mixing amount of steel fibers was, the greater the slip value of the specimen under the peak load was; the addition of steel fibers improved the failure behavior of the recycled concrete pull-out specimens; the test specimens mainly had pull-out failure when the mixing amount of steel fibers was 1.2% and 1.6%. …”

A Long Time Ago in a Library Far, Far Away ... The Adventures of the Gladiatoria Manuscript from New Haven by Dierk Hagedorn

“…The article presents a detailed description of the manuscript; it follows the path of the many places the codex passed through from the days of its creation until the present time; it offers a thorough line of argument that proves on one hand that the manuscript from New Haven is in fact identical to the one that disappeared from Gotha, and that verifies on the other hand an assumption by the renowned researcher Hans-Peter Hils that it is identical to yet another believed-to-be-lost manuscript that was sold by auction in Heidelberg in the 1950s and 1960s as single leaves; and finally it makes an attempt to reconstruct the original structure of the manuscript after it had been pulled apart.…”
