Dye Adsorption by Modified Cotton. Steric and Energetic Interpretations of Model Parameter Behaviours by M. Khalfaoui, M.H.V. Baouab, R. Gauthier, A. Ben Lamine

“…The variations of the three parameters, viz. anchorage number, receptor site density and half-saturation concentration, as determined theoretically (Khalfaoui et al. 2002) and related to the adsorption energy, exhibited different behaviours when examined in terms of the adsorption of various dyes on to modified cotton. …”

Experimental investigation of pretensioned bolts under cyclic loading: Damage assessment using acoustic emission by Tieliang An, Xigui Zheng, Dengxing Zhu, Deyu Qian, Yu Guo, Juncai Cao

“…The following main conclusions were drawn: (1) With a higher loading frequency, the acoustic emission counts rate increases, while the total energy released in a given cyclic loading path decreases. (2) A fitting formula is established according to the relationship between the tension amplitude and cumulative acoustic emission counts, which can analyze the tension magnitude level of the cyclic load. (3) A damage factor for a cyclic load is proposed based on the acoustic emission counts generated during the cyclic and monotonic loading process that can analyze the degree of damage to the anchorage system caused by the cyclic load. (4) Based on the spatial distribution of the acoustic emission orientation points and the acoustic emission energy generated during the pull-out process, the acoustic emission damage evolution process of the anchorage specimens is deduced, and the mechanism of the high stability of the pretension anchorage system after cyclic loading is analyzed. …”

Cyclic testing of a steel-tube-enabled emulative precast column-to-column connection by Ming-Ming Ji, Ming-Ming Ji, Wei Chen, Shi Zeng, Yan Xiong, Xin-Yu Zhao

“…Results indicated that this connection method could provide seismic performance comparable to that of the traditional cast-in-place counterpart. Nevertheless, the anchorage of the column longitudinal rebars played a critical role, as inadequate anchorages led to significant reductions in the columns’ lateral capacity. …”
