The lateral load carrying capacity of wall ties used in cavity wall construction in the Western Cape : a comparison between the Butterfly-type wire tie and the Crimped-type wire tie
The aim of the testing was to compare the relative positives and negatives of the Butterfly Tie and the Crimped lie as regards to water transfer, tensile and compression strengths based on the Australian Code [AS 2699-l 984] requirements as it is more comprehensive. The reason was because the …

Effects of reinforcement corrosion on the structural performance of reinforced concrete beams
… by establishing its effect on the maximum load carrying capacity, the deflections, energy requirements and ductility ratio. The main conclusions made in respect of the effect of reinforcement corrosion are that it causes: a decrease in the load carrying capacity; an increase in the …

Reliability of corroded steel bridge girders
… are subjected to time-variant changes of their load-carrying capacity. Thus, there is a need for an evaluation to accurately assess the actual condition and predict the remaining life of a structure. System reliability can be used as an efficient tool in evaluation of existing structures. The …

Redundancy Evaluation of Fracture Critical Bridges
… twin box-girder bridges. The effect of various loading, analysis and geometric parameters on the post fracture response and the remaining load carrying capacity of the damaged bridge is evaluated through nonlinear finite element analysis of two well-documented structures: the Hoan Bridge and the …

The assessment of corrosion-damaged concrete structures
… in a spreadsheet for assessing the variation in load-carrying capacity with time. Time to cracking and residual load-carrying capacity are found to be sensitive to small variations in key parameters such as the cover and the surface chloride level. Predictions from a spreadsheet model indicate …

Behaviour of non-prismatic steel members
… the prismatic members, i.e. they have higher load carrying capacity when their geometry closely resemble the bending moment envelope as compared to prismatic members with the same material properties, loading and boundary conditions. However, there is a unique point (degree of non-uniformity) …

Ensaios, "in situ", de resistência ao arrancamento de placas horizontais reduzidas
… the plate and diameter of the pit on the uplift load carrying capacity. It was also aimed to test the feasibility of some theoretical methods on tropical soils since they were developed in soils from different climate and formation.

Ground improvement using PET bottle waste as a potential reinforcement material for granular columns: an experimental approach
… experiments were conducted to improve the load carrying capacity and settlement characteristics of a local fine silt. A wet silt bed (prepared at optimum moisture content or liquid limit) was created within a steel cylindrical tank. An ordinary granular column (OGC) or reinforced granular …

Investigating the Performance of Wood Portal Frames as Alternative Bracing Systems in Light-Frame Wood Buildings
… successfully used to resist gravity and lateral loads, such as earthquake and wind, for many decades. However, there is a need for maintaining the structural integrity of such buildings even when large openings in walls are introduced. Wood portal frame systems have been identified as a potential …

Investigation of the Effect of Corrugated Boxes on the Distribution of Compression Stresses on the Top Surface of Wooden Pallets
Pallets are the foundation of unit loads and supply chains. They provide a way to store and transport products in an efficient manner. The load capacity of pallets greatly depends on the type of packages carried by the pallet; however, current pallet design methods do not consider the effect of …

Single shear vs. double shear for nails in lateral loading
… to determine (1) the relationship of the lateral load-carrying capacity of nails in single and double shear, and (2) to develop a basis for structural design data for laterally loaded nails in double shear applicable whenever deformation is a governing factor, such as in joints of trussed rafters. …

Thermomechanical Postbuckling of Geometrically Imperfect Anisotropic Flat and Doubly Curved Sandwich Panels
… large lateral pressures, large compressive edge loads, and high temperature gradients which can create large stresses and strains within the structure and can produce the instability of the structure. This creates the need for a better understanding of the behavior of these structures under these …

Novel design and geometry for mechanical gearing
… of the stress state occurring in a pair of loaded spur gears and aims to further research the effect of tooth profile modifications on the mechanical performance of a mating gear pair. The investigation is then extended to epicyclic transmissions as they are considered the most viable …

Structural behaviour of precast lightweight foamed concrete sandwich panel (PLFP) with shear truss connectors
… to predict its ultimate strength under axial load. PLFP panel is made of foamed concrete as the outer wythes which enclose a core layer of polystyrene. The wythes were reinforced with steel bars and tied to each other through the polystyrene layer by using steel shear connectors (bent at an …

An investigation into the behaviour of hollow ribbed (waffle) rectangular reinforced concrete slabs at ultimate limit state
The elastic to ultimate load behaviour of reinforced concrete waffle slabs subjected to uniformly distributed load and 4-point loads are reported in this thesis. A total of twenty 1/4- and one 1/2-scale reinforced concrete waffle model slabs, with different area of steel and rib depth to slab …
