Push-out tests on shear studs in high strength concrete

A lot of push-out tests of shear studs embedded in normal strength concrete were conducted. So current design code methods of the shear studs are based on the test results of studs embedded in normal strength concrete. It also appeared that the strength of connector and the concrete strength are the main factors affecting the behavior of shear connections. But push-out test data of studs embedd...

Shear Strength of Soil

One of the most important and the most controversial engineering properties of soil is its shear strength or ability to resist sliding along internal surfaces within a mass. The stability of a cut, the slope of an earth dam, the foundations of structures, the natural slopes of hillsides and other structures built on soil depend upon the shearing resistance offered by the soil along the probable...

Measurement of the shear strength of a charge density wave.

We have explored the shear plasticity of charge density waves (CDWs) in NbSe3 samples with cross sections having a single microfabricated thickness step. Shear stresses along the step result from thickness-dependent CDW pinning. For small thickness differences the CDW depins elastically at the volume average depinning field. For large thickness differences the thicker, more weakly pinned side d...

Effect of Cementation on the Shear Strength of Tehran Gravelly Sand Using Triaxial Tests

A new method for shear bond strength measurement

Modeling the tensile strength of paper has been a topic of interest over the last few decades. Fibre properties and fibre network properties are the two main sets of inputs required for any such analytical model. Out of these, the most difficult quantity to measure is the “Fibre-Fibre Shear Bond Strength”. No reliable method exists for the measurement of this quantity. This paper reports a simp...
