The near-surface mounted (NSM) fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) technique is a relatively recent system for strengthening concrete structures. Bond is a key factor in its behaviour, and is affected by many factors whose influence can only be tested through experimental studies. In this study, the modified pull-out test was used to study the effect of epoxy properties and bond length on the behaviour of NSM FRP bars. Three epoxy types, two FRP materials (carbon and glass) and four bond lengths (6db, 12db, 24db and 30db) are used. The load capacity, slips at the loaded end and free end and average bond stress are all analysed. The test results indicate that the role of epoxy properties appear to be a key factor in bond performance in the NSM FRP strengthening technique, and that their effect varies depending on bond length and FRP properties.

This study presents an experimental program conducted to investigate the bond strength of FRP bars in recycled-aggregate concrete compared to the one in normal-aggregate concrete for the improved evaluation of results. The experimental program contains thirty six specimens tested using direct pull-out test. In this study, glass, carbon and basalt FRP bars are used with 12 mm diameter and bar bond lengths of 5d, where d is the bar diameter. The FRP bars are casted in different recycled-aggregate concrete strengths of 30, 45 and 60 MPa. The behaviour of bars in normal-aggregate concrete strength of 30 MPa is used as a benchmark and its behaviour is compared with the ones in the recycled-aggregate concrete. The impact of the concrete strength considered is identified based on the gain in the bond behaviour. The experimental results demonstrate the prospect of the recycled aggregates applied as an alternative to normal aggregates in the FRP reinforced concrete. In addition, the use of the recycled aggregate increases the bearing friction behaviour between the FRP bars and concrete.

Aus Schwerzerspanung und Turbinenschaufelfertigung ist bekannt, dass Werkzeuge aus dem Spannfutter ausgezogen werden. Die veränderte Werkzeugposition führt zur Abweichung von den vorgegebenen Toleranzen und einer geringeren Fertigungsqualität oder Beschädigung des Werkstücks. Der Artikel untersucht das Auszugsverhalten verschiedener Spannfutter. Mit einem Prüfstand können die Einflüsse der mechanischen Belastung und der Klemmlänge auf die Haltekraft im Pressverband betrachtet und die Wirkmechanismen beim Auszug des Werkzeuges aus dem Spannfutter sensorisch ermittelt werden.   From heavy-duty cutting and turbine blade manufacturing it is known that tools pull out from chucks. A change in tool position leads to deviations from tolerance and decreases manufacturing quality or damages the workpiece. This article explores the extension behavior of different chucks on a specifically designed test bench. This allows determining how mechanical load and clamping length influence the holding force in the press fit and what mechanisms of action affect the extraction of the tool from the chuck.

<p>The bond behaviour of concrete specimens with carbon textile reinforcement was investigated in the presented research programme. Pull-out specimens were cast from self-compacting concrete with expansive admixtures and in this way chemical prestress was introduced. The aim of the research was to compare bond behaviour between prestressed specimens and non-prestressed control specimens. During pull-out tests, the pull-out force and notch opening were measured with a load cell and laser sensors. Further, bond - slip and pull-out force - crack width relationships were drawn and compared for prestressed and non-prestressed specimens. Chemically prestressed specimens reached 24% higher bond strength than non-prestressed ones. It can be therefore concluded, that chemical prestressing positively influences the bond behaviour of concrete with textile reinforcement and thus better utilisation of its properties can be provided.</p>

ObjectivesExternal ventricular drain (EVD) dislodgement is common and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. UK trial data suggests dislodgement as high as 12%. This study aimed to establish the range of methods used nationally and determine the most secure method in a porcine model.DesignSurvey and experimental study.Subjects23 neurosurgical units surveyed. Porcine cadaver experimental model.MethodsSurvey distribution was made through the British Neurosurgical Trainee Research Collaborative. 15 securement methods were tested on the porcine model and peak pull-out force before EVD failure was measured. Failure was defined as catheter displacement 1 cm from the insertion site, catheter fracture or suture fracture.ResultsNationally, five EVD securement methods were in common use. There were considerable differences in peak pull-out force between methods. The most secure methods were a construct consisting of anchoring suture, further multiple sutures around a coil of catheter followed by either a soft (25.85N, 95% CI 24.95 N-26.75N) or hard plastic flange (29.05N, 95% CI 25.69 N-32.41N). Individually, anchoring sutures, soft flanges, VentriFix and staples were least secure, whilst multiple sutures and hard flanges were most secure.ConclusionsAn anchoring suture followed by a coil of catheter and a flange is the most secure method for securing EVDs, withstanding up to 8.2 times the force of a single anchoring suture. It is easily employed and may decrease the likelihood of EVD dislodgement and associated complications.
