Statnamic Lateral Load Testing and Analysis of a Drilled Shaft in Liquefied Sand
Three progressively larger statnamic lateral load tests were performed on a 2.59 m diameter drilled shaft foundation after the surrounding soil was liquefied using down-hole explosive charges. An attempt to develop p-y curves from strain data along the pile was made. Due to low quality and lack of …

Behavior and Flexure Analysis of Balsa Wood Core Sandwich Composites: Experimental, Analytical and Finite Element Approaches
The load-deflection behavior of a US Army Corps of Engineers available sandwich plates in three-point bending with glass phenolic facings and balsa wood core is being investigated under room and elevated temperatures. Test data on bending rigidity, critical interfacial failure (skin-to-core …

Fiber Orientation Effects on the Fracture and Flexural Toughness of Extruded Fiber Reinforced Concrete for Additive Manufacturing
… of rupture (MOR) and flexural toughness based on load-deflection curves. The fracture properties of FRCC were determined by using three-point bend tests on the same design but having notched beams using the two-parameter fracture model (TPFM). Calculations included the Mode I critical stress …

Normal-strength and high-strength concrete columns under cyclic axial load and biaxial moment
… and without CFRP jackets under constant axial load and variable lateral load. The lateral load was applied monotonically and cyclically. To predict the behavior of concrete columns under monotonic and cyclic compressive loadings, a computer code was developed to produce the moment-curvature …

A Mesh Objective Algorithm for Modeling Mode-I Cracks Using a Standard Finite Element Formulation
… It is demonstrated that the algorithm predicts load deflection curves and crack paths that are independent of both mesh size and orientation when modeling failure at an angle through a finite element mesh. The methods developed are expected to be applicable to higher dimensions and for mode-II …

Development and Behaviour of a New Long-Span Composite Floor System
… but with unusually thin ribs. Internally, a new load-carrying system has been developed, using a centrally placed perforated light-gauge steel sheet. By providing a continuous medium for internal force transfer, the steel sheet offers some significant advantages over conventional shear …

Full-Scale-Lateral-Load Test of a 1.2 m Diameter Drilled Shaft in Sand
… interaction models associated with laterally loaded deep foundations have typically been based on load tests involving relatively small diameter foundations. The lateral soil resistance for larger diameter foundations has been assumed to increase linearly with diameter; however, few, if any …

The behaviour of curved hybrid girders
… girders are all simply supported, un-braced and loaded at midspan. The load-deflection behaviour of curved hybrid girders is investigated. Stress plots of the girders are obtained at ultimate load. The radius to span ratio is varied from 5 to 50 for 5m span girders and from 5 to 30 for 8m span …
