A Simplified Analysis Model for Predicting the Crack Width and Deflection of Reinforced UHPC Shallow T-Shaped Beams Under Four-Point Bending by Zhe Zhang, Yichuan Wang, Binchen Yuan, Ping Zhu

“…To obtain closed-form solutions, the proposed simplified analysis model directly incorporates the bond properties from bond tests, thereby eliminating the reliance on constant bond stress simplification and the subsequent necessity for member calibration, which is commonly required in existing design codes for UHPC-based structures. To validate the proposed model, six reinforced UHPC shallow T-shaped specimens with dimensions of 3.7 m × 0.7 m × 0.22 m, varying reinforcement ratios and fiber types within UHPC, are utilized and tested statically under four-point bending conditions. …”

Undue Influence as a Civil Law Concept in the Hungarian Legislation and Judicial Practice (Investigation of the Drafts of the Hungarian Civil Code between 1900 and 1928 and the Cor... by Réka Pusztahelyi

“…Since this examination cannot be carried on separately from scrutinising the legal thoughts and legislation on immoral and usurious contracts, after some general remarks, this work deals with relevant issues of the Hungarian legislation of usury, independently of civil code drafts or embedded into them. Then, it demonstrates the emergence of the undue influence doctrine in the academic discussion, in the civil code drafts and parallelly, in judicial practice. …”
