Investigation of Sand Behaviour under Cyclic Loading

medium dense non-cemented carbonate sand under reversed cyclic loading

carbonate materials are mostly found in tropical areas, where exploiting gas and oil resources are of high concern. their unique behavior under shear loading first was recognised during oil resources investigations in the persian gulf. off-shore structures have been placed on carbonate soils which are highly crushable.during storms cyclic loading imposes on the bases of structures lied down on ...

Behaviour of Reinforced Fibrous Concrete Beams under Reversed Cyclic Loading

When earthquakes occur, energy released by the earthquake gets induced into the structure as ground motion and this energy has to be dissipated for safety reasons. To release seismic energy, the structure should damage in such a way that on one hand, collapse of structure should not occur and on the other hand, after the earthquake, damage should be economically feasible to repair. To avoid the...

Behaviour of poorly detailed lap-splices under cyclic loading

This paper presents the first part of a series of uniaxial cyclic tests on lap-splices. The work is conducted within the framework of a project on the seismic behaviour of existing, poorly detailed bridge piers which are typically constructed with a lap-splice above the footing. The test series presented here was initiated to study the influence of load history, especially with regards to the c...

Soil-Structure Interaction of Buried Pipes Under Cyclic Loading Conditions

The safety of lifelines, as the most important urban facilities, under different conditions highly depends on the safe design and performance of these buried structures. This cannot be achieved unless their actual behaviors are well understood and considered at the designing stage. A new physical model was developed in Amirkabir University of Technology to study the behavior of buried pipes und...
