Insulation Impact on Shear Strength of Screw Connections and Shear Strength of Diaphragms
… throughout the world have been conducted on the shear strength of screw connections in cold-formed steel, however, little to no research has been conducted on how various thicknesses of insulation placed between two sheets of steel, such as a steel panel and structural supporting member, affects …

Factors Influencing the Post-Earthquake Shear Strength
… behavior of these materials. Moreover, if strength loss as a result of cyclic loading were to occur in the material comprising the dam and/or dam foundation, the consequences of failure could be substantial. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of plasticity …

Shear strength behaviour of sugarcane bagasse reinforced soils
… material. Because of this, a direct shear test was therefore initiated to establish the usefulness of using sugarcane bagasse as a soil reinforcement material by comparing the extent of shear strength and stiffness response due to its inclusion to unreinforced soil. Three different …

Interface Shear Strength in Lightweight Concrete Bridge Girders
… to develop composite action, adequate horizontal shear resistance must be provided at the interface. As lightweight concrete is increasingly being used in bridge designs, it is important to understand the horizontal shear behavior of lightweight concrete. The current AASHTO LRFD Specification …

Use and Measurement of Fully Softened Shear Strength
The fully softened shear strength was defined by Skempton (1970) as the peak drained shear strength of a clay in a normally consolidated state. All the experience available on the applicability of the fully softened shear strength for slopes is based on back-analyses. Back-analyses of first-time …

Correlation of Shear Strength Between Longitudial and Transverse Specimens
<p>In this thesis, new methods for shear strength are proposed and backed up through extensive experimentation, ABAQUS models and data analysis of Titanium welds of three different alloys. The results are compared with those obtained by using the procedure outlined by AWS B4 for calculating Shear …

Shear Strength Parameters of Sand Fly Ash Cement Mixtures
… class F fly ash to assess the improvement of shear strength parameters of granular soils. Two mix designs were developed and tested using consolidated undrained, unconfined compression, and triaxial testing. Mix designs consisted of 15% fly ash with 0.5 or 1% cement, and poorly graded Ottawa …

Swelling, shrinkage and shear strength of unsaturated expansive clays
The swelling, shrinkage and shear strength properties of unsaturated expansive clays are examined in this thesis. This research was instigated to provide the engineer with improved techniques for predicting the swelling behaviour encountered in unsaturated expansive clays. To achieve this …

On The Shear Strength Of Partially Grouted Concrete Masonry
Masonry shear walls are one of the most common structural elements in buildings. The in-plane shear capacity of load-bearing walls is of great importance in the seismic design of structures. This study focuses on the shear behaviour of wide-spaced reinforced partially grouted (WRPG) concrete …

On the shear strength of polyurethane coated railroad ballast
… As part of this thesis study research, direct shear testing was undertaken for two di erent railroad ballast aggregates, granite and limestone. Both aggregate materials satis ed the AREMA No. 24 railroad ballast gradation requirements. Although the unbound granite samples showed higher shear …

Shear Strength Assessment of Corrosion-Damaged Prestressed Concrete Girders
… Extensive research has focused on the flexural strength of corroded prestressed concrete girders. This research studies the shear strength of corroded prestressed concrete girders which can, then, be expanded further to evaluate the possible retrofitting techniques for restoring, or enhancing, …
