Also present in the rock was a glass (about 34%) of a Si-rich composition, and this together with the opaline silica is suspected as the components causing reactivity of the basalt.

The effects of Poisson's ratio, elastic-frictional bond strengths, and bond strength variation with slippage distance on the pull-out relation are discussed. A theoretical model motivated by observations of fibre surface abrasion is developed to predict the pull-out force versus displacement relationship. The model takes into consideration the variation of the frictional fibre-matrix bond strength with fibre slippage distance. Good agreement is achieved between model predicted pull-out behaviour and experimental pull-out curves for nylon and polypropylene fibres. For these synthetic fibres, the bond strength increases with the slippage distance during the process of pull-out. The model also predicts reasonably well the pull-out behaviour of steel fibres for which the bond strength decreases with the slippage distance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100692,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cement Composites and Lightweight Concrete","volume":"10 3","pages":"Pages 143-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0262-5075(88)90002-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73310448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
