Multi-axial failure of high-performance fiber during transverse impact
… so as to determine local or long range fiber failure being defined by shearing or fibrillation, respectively. Additionally, above said critical velocities, strikes with 18-mm flat discs and 18-mm round projectiles have been performed in efforts to ascertain the location of yarn failure at the …

Seismic Assessment of Singly Reinforced Concrete Walls in Pre-1970s Multi-Storey Buildings
… earthquakes in New Zealand, undesirable failure behavior was observed of the reinforced concrete walls in multi-storey buildings constructed before mid-1970s, which highlighted the structural vulnerabilities of older reinforced concrete walls. In this thesis, the structural …

Modelling the Post-Peak Response of Existing Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures Subjected to Seismic Loading
… are often vulnerable to shear or flexure-shear failure followed by axial failure. Thus, such substandard R/C structures are susceptible to vertical collapse, which pertains to the exceedance of vertical resistance of columns and connecting beams and can lead to the whole structure – or a …

Modeling the post shear failure behavior of reinforced concrete columns
… contributor to building collapse is the loss of axial load carrying capacity in non-seismically detailed columns. Experimental investigations have shown that non-seismically detailed columns will only experience axial failure after shear failure and subsequent lateral shear strength degradation …

The development of a modified biaxial composite test specimen
Bi-axial testing of composite structures has been an important topic in the research community for some years now. Bi-axial test specimens in the past have typically been cruciform specimens with a tapered thickness gage section. This ensures that the specimen will fail under bi-axial loading …

Assessment of Perforated Unreinforced Masonry Walls Responding In-Plane
… investigate the variables which control spandrel failure mode and the influence of spandrel failure on the lateral capacity of multi-storey URM walls. Testing showed that the behaviour of the spandrel has a significant effect on the failure mode of the piers and hence the strength, stiffness and …
