The break-out behaviour of a suction anchor embedded in a granular soil.
… The experimental work comprised flow measurement tests on model suction anchors, pull-out tests on the model anchors with or without applied suction pressure, pull-out tests on the anchor shaft with or without suction pressure and pull-out tests on the prototype suction anchor. The primary …

CFRP Prestressed Concrete Exposed to Moisture
… of the rods would cause the concrete to crack. Pull-out tests were conducted on stressed and unstressed CFRP rods cast in concrete cubes and immersed in water for up to 125 days. Six CFRP prestressed concrete prisms were fabricated, three were immersed in water for over 125 days and three were …

Repair of damaged end regions of prestressed concrete girders using fiber reinforced polymer composite materials
… In the first phase of the study, direct shear pull-out tests on glass-FRP (GFRP) and carbon-FRP (CFRP) externally bonded laminate and NSM bar concrete specimens are performed. An accelerated aging scheme consisting of freeze/thaw cycling in the presence of a deicing salt solution is implemented …

Comparison and results of sheet pile interlock analysis
… the program is modified to simulate a sheet pile pull-out test with a new finite element mesh. The improved mesh contains a full-length sheet pile with both of its interlocks connected to two half-length sheet piles. The results are presented and compared with the results of the pull-out tests …

Anchorage bond in concrete bases
Five series of tests were performed to investigate the anchorage bond stresses in concrete bases. In Series I to IV concrete base specimens were loaded and column starter bar strains measured for different supporting conditions of the base. Curves indicating the distribution of steel compressive …

Performance of No Vibration/No Admixture Masonry Grout Containing High Replacement of Portland Cement with Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
… structural designs typically require fully grouted walls. The grouting process is labor-intensive, time-consuming and has a high energy demand due to requirements of consolidation in each and subsequent grout lifts. Self-consolidating grout with admixtures has been successfully used without …

Evaluation of surface roughness and bond-slip behavior of new textured epoxy-coated reinforcing bars
… 2-D and 3-D roughness parameters. Second, direct pull-out tests are conducted on concrete specimens with embedded 1) BLK, 2) smooth epoxy-coated (SEC), and 3) different types of TEC bars to compare their bond characteristics. Then, multiple 3-D finite element models are developed and calibrated to …

Load transfer mechanism of fully grouted cable bolts.
Fully grouted cable bolts have been used in the mining industry for more than fifty years. However, failure of cable bolting systems still occurs in mine sites, as a result of insufficient load transfer between the rock mass and the cable bolt. Numerous research studies have been conducted to …
