TL;DR: In this article, the average maximum bond strength of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars varied from 5.1 to 12.3 MPa depending on the diameter and the embedment length.

TL;DR: In this paper, the undrained behavior of anchor plates with a vertical or horizontal axis, resting in a saturated clay, is examined and theoretical consideration is given to the effects of anchor embedment, layer by layer.

TL;DR: The use and advantages of a new polyglycol type flexibilizer as a replacement for Cardolite NC-513 in a Maraglas 655 epoxy formulation will be presented.
Abstract: A new epoxy embedding mixture for biological material recently has been introduced by Freeman and Spurlock (1). This mixture consists of Maraglas 655, Cardolite NC-513, dibutyl phthalate, and the curing agent benzyldimethylamine (BDMA). Maraglas has certain advantages over other resins and epoxies, notably, wide range of miscibility, low viscosity, ease of sectioning, good staining qualities, beam stability, and little background granularity. Although improvements have been made in the original technique (2), certain problems remain. The Maraglas mixture penetrates tissue very slowly, makes the tissue quite brittle, and has variable polymerization properties. In this paper the use and advantages of a new polyglycol type flexibilizer as a replacement for Cardolite NC-513 in a Maraglas 655 epoxy formulation will be presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a series of tests conducted on reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips are examined in detail and compared with the predictions of a simple analytical model where appropriate.
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of tests conducted on reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips. As the main focus of the research is on debonding failure mechanisms, the only test variable investigated was the embedment length of the NSM strip and the NSM strip was extensively strain-gauged to monitor its bond behavior. Load-deflection curves, failure modes, strain distributions in the CFRP strip, and local bond stresses at the CFRP–epoxy interface from the tests are all examined in detail and compared with the predictions of a simple analytical model where appropriate. Of the four embedment lengths investigated, all but the shortest one led to a notable increase in the load-carrying capacity and, to a lesser extent, in the postcracking stiffness of the beam. Debonding was found to be the primary failure mode in all cases except for the beam with the longest embedment length. Also reported in this paper are results from preliminary bond tests used to characterize the local bond-slip behavior of the NSM system. Apart from gaining a better understanding of debonding failures in RC beams with NSM FRP strips, the test results reported in the paper should be useful for future verification of numerical and analytical models.
