Lateral load capacity of drilled shafts in jointed rock
Large vertical (axial) and lateral loads often act on the heads of drilled shafts in jointed rock. In current design practice, the p-y curve method used in design of laterally loaded drilled shafts in soil is adopted in the design of such shafts in jointed rock. The p-y curve method treats the soil …

Withdrawal and combined load capacity of threaded fastener wood joints
In this study, general models of the capacity of threaded fastener joints were developed from extensive experimental tests. One study objective was to develop a general model of threaded fastener withdrawal strength applicable to joints containing fasteners with widely varying thread geometries. A …

Fracture-Based Method to Determine the Flexural Load Capacity of Concrete Slabs
… crack initiation, crack growth, and the flexural load capacity of concrete slabs using mechanical and fracture properties extracted from small-scale concrete specimens. The method predicts the flexural capacity and crack growth of large-scale concrete slabs with different geometries and materials …

Axial load capacity of circular steel tube columns filled with high strength concrete
This study examines the axial load capacity of circular Concrete Filled Steel Tube columns using High Strength Concrete (CFST-HSC). Emphasis is drawn to the enhanced axial capacity of short columns attributed to the lateral confinement of the concrete infill provided by the steel encasement. The …

Use of Material Tailoring to Improve Axial Load Capacity of Elliptical Composite Cylinders
… focuses on the improvement of the axial buckling capacity of elliptical composite cylinders through the use of a circumferentially-varying lamination sequence. The concept of varying the lamination sequence around the circumference is considered as a viable approach for off-setting the …

Flow in thin regions bounded by structured and porous surfaces : applications to load bearings
The effect of surface roughness on the load capacity and friction force of hydrodynamic bearings has received considerable interest from scientists and engineers. Surfaces of most engineered materials are textured at some level either deliberately to achieve some desired effect or produced by wear …
