Recycled Concrete Slabs: excellent punching performance!

Submitted by Flavio Stochino on

This paper reports on the experimental assessment of the punching shear behaviour of reinforced recycled concrete slabs characterized by fine natural aggregates and coarse recycled aggregates. In particular, the latter were obtained only from demolished concrete. The experimental campaign has been carried out on 12 specimens. Moreover, three reinforced natural aggregate concrete slabs have been casted and tested as benchmarks. Four replacement percentages (30, 50, 80 and 100%) of coarse recycled aggregates in place of coarse natural aggregates have been considered.

Publicly-available fatigue test data

Can anyone help point me to publicly-available fatigue or fracture test data? I am interested in obtaining a variety of data for statistical processing. It seems many authors have used the data collected by Virkler and Hillberry which seems to be widely used, but I have not found raw data for their tests so far; is this data available somewhere for me to use? Any help is very appreciated.
