Experimental Research on Seismic Shear Capacity of I-Shape Ductile Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls

The shear design formula for seismic shearwalls in the Chinese standard (Code for Design of Concrete Structures) have not been verified by tests yet, In order to compensate for it, the authors undertake the task of testing on the shear behavior of seismic shearwalls organized by the Code association. After discussing on the particular conditions controlling tests and philosophy in specimen designing, the results of the first group of tests on the seismic shear behavior of shearwalls, which are I-shaped and with relatively large scale and axial force ratio of 0.2 and tested under reversed cyclic horizontal forces, are introduced. The results are analyzed and discussed.     

Calculation Method of Shear Behavior of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced High Performance Concrete Deep Beams

The static tests on hybrid fiber (steel fiber and polypropylene fiber) reinforced high performance concrete deep beams according to the orthogonal experimental design were conducted. The shear capacity and calculation method of deep beams were discussed as well. The contributory factors such as the characteristic parameters of steel fiber (types, volume fraction, aspect ratio), the volume fraction of polypropylene fiber, the ratio of web horizontal reinforcement and the ratio of web vertical reinforcement were analyzed. Results show that the shear failure mode of deep beams is changed with adding a reasonable volume of hybrid fibers, and hybrid fiber can greatly increase the diagonal cracking strength and shear strength of HPC deep beams. The diagonal cracking strength is increased by 45.2% averagely while the shear strength is increased by 25.6% averagely. A satisfied result is obtained when the plasticity theory is used to analyze shear behavior of hybrid fiber reinforced HPC deep beams. The contribution of web horizontal reinforcement and web vertical reinforcement to shear strength of deep beams is not obvious but the former plays a major role. After analyzing the strengthening mechanism of hybrid fiber, a formula to calculate the shear capacity of hybrid fiber reinforced HPC deep beams is presented based on spatial strut-and-tie mode and splitting failure.     

Tests with Controlled Net Mean Stress Equaling Constant of an Remolded Unsaturated Loess

The disruption, yield and water content change of a remolded unsaturated loess is studied during the course of shear tests with controlled net mean stress equaling constant. Two types of density's triaxial drained shear tests with controlled net mean stress and suction equaling constants are conducted. The test results show that the disruption stress increases with suction. A new method to identify the field stress under triaxial drained shear tests with controlled net mean stress equaling constants is suggested, and the shape of loading-collapse yield curve are similar in q-s plane and in p-s plane. The soil-water characteristic curve is dependent on deviatoric stress, and the soil-water characteristic curve including water content, suction, net mean stress and deviatoric stress is proposed.

Simple Shear Test of Interface between Sand and Structure under High Stress

By using a simple shear apparatus that is developed from RMT-150B,a series of simple shear tests of interface between saturated sand and structure under high normal stress were carried out to study constitutive law and shearing stiffness of interface to provide some theoretical evidences for design and calculation of projects concerned with mechanical problem of interface.In test,sand was consolidated in upper shearing box firstly,then,shear was started and testing data was recorded under high and constant normal stress.During the process,sand can deform relatively freely.It is shown that the relation curve between shear stress and shear displacement under high normal stress in simple shear tests is different from that in direct shear tests,and the complete shearing deformation process of interface under high stress can be described as a nonlinear elastic-perfect plastic form;Weibull distribution with three parameters can overcome the mathematical deficiencies of hyperbola in NEPP.The new model which is established by substituting Weibull distribution for the hyperbola of NEPP better agrees with the testing data.The regressive results of the initial shearing stiffness demonstrate that the linear function is slightly better than power function to express the relation between the initial shearing stiffness and normal stress.Based on the new interface model,the formula of tangential shearing stiffness is proposed,meantime,the change trend of tangential shearing stiffness of the new model is compared with that of NEPP.

Constitutive Model for Negative Simple-sheared Soil-concrete Interface

Negative shear property of soil-concrete interface is one critical issue in civil engineering. According to negative simple shear tests of soil-concrete interfaces with various water content, quantitative analysis on changes of shear strength, friction angle and cohesion force of negative sheared interface against positive shear experience were conducted. Several empirical formulae were proposed for above changes, and critical positive shear ratio was put forward. Based on improved stress-strain equation, mathematical model for tangent modulus of negative sheared soil-concrete interface was established. This new model consists ten parameters which can be determined by simple shear test. Process for determining these ten parameters was presented, and empirical values of them were obtained. Simulations for stress-strain curves of soil-concrete interface were carried out, and good ability of the model was found.

Experiments on influence of slurry kinds on mechanicalbehavior of interface between gravel and concrete

The mechanical behavior and mechanism of the interface between structure and coarse grained soil are investigated through simple shear tests on the conditions of bentonite slurry, clay slurry and without slurry, respectively. The results indicate that different kinds of slurry have important influence on shear strength. Compared with the interface without slurry, the shear strength with bentonite slurry reduces by 45% approximately, significantly more than clay slurry which reduces by 10%. The value of the friction angle with bentonite slurry is about 60% of that with clay slurry. Shear displacement increases as upright stress increases when reaches its failure states at the same height, and shear displacement with bentonite slurry is smaller than that with clay slurry when with the same upright stress and height. The upright displacement with bentonite slurry is greater than that with clay slurry under the same upright stress. In addition, shear dilatation is apparent under the low normal stress when without slurry. Otherwise, it appears as shear contraction.     

Shear Ductility of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced High Performance Concrete Deep Beams

The shear tests were conducted on 18 different groups of deep beams with steel fiber and polypropylene fiber and two groups high performance concrete deep beams without fiber according to the orthogonal experimental design. By a definition of shear ductility index shear ductility of deep beams was analyzed quantitatively. The influence of six factors on improving shear ductility of deep beams was compared by direct-viewing analysis of the orthogonal experiment. The contributory factors such as the species of steel fiber, the volume fraction of steel fiber, the length/diameter aspect ratio of steel fiber, the volume fraction of polypropylene fiber, the ratio of web horizontal reinforcement and the ratio of web vertical reinforcement were analyzed. Results show that the volume fraction of steel fiber plays the most important role in improving shear ductility of deep beams exceeding the ratio of web horizontal reinforcement and the ratio of web vertical reinforcement, whereas species of steel fiber has minimum effect. Hybrid fiber can be used to greatly increase shear ductility of deep beams and shear ductility is at the most increased by 40.7% although it can not change the brittleness of shear damage. The full-range shear behaviors of deep beams through ABAQUS are analyzed and the calculated results are in good agreement with test results.     

壤质潮土长期施钾对小麦玉米轮作制作物钾吸收的影响

在辛集马兰农场进行钾肥定位试验,研究小麦-玉米轮作制度长期施钾对钾养分吸收的影响。试验开始于1992年秋天,共设4个处理,分别为只施氮磷肥的对照(NP);在对照基础上加施秸秆(NPSt);在对照基础上加施钾肥(NPK);在对照基础上加施秸秆和钾肥(NPKSt)。4次重复,顺序排列,小区面积50 m2。结果表明:作物的籽粒年吸钾量与肥料中钾的施入量以及作物籽粒和秸秆产量呈显著或极显著正相关。作物籽粒钾吸收量随K2O施入量的增多而增多,与施入的速效钾形态无关。作物籽粒钾含量与钾肥的施入量相关关系不显著。在北方壤质潮土小麦玉米轮作制土壤中,小麦籽粒年均含钾量在4.99~5.13 g/kg,玉米籽粒的年均含钾量在3.75~3.93 g/kg。在壤质潮土小麦轮作制条件下,当施入一定量外源钾肥时,单位面积小麦植株地上部分和玉米植株地上部分K2O养分吸收量差异不大。小麦季K2O吸收量为140.37 kg/hm2,玉米季为138.23 kg/hm2,据此可有效指导该类型区的钾肥投入。     

Finite Element Analysis of Shear Behavior of Super High Strength Reinforced Concrete Beam

On the basis of testing results of shear behavior from 18 super high strength reinforced concrete restrained beams with web reinforcement, with the cube compressive strength ranging from over 100Mpa, in this paper, the nonlinear finite element analysis procedure was formulated and the analysis of the specimen tests was carried out with the parameters obtained from the experiments and improved constitutive model and failure criteria of materials. Based on the simulated shear resistance test results and practical measured data of eighteen super high strength concrete restrained beams under point load, the equation to compute the shear resistance capacity of such beams was thus obtained by regression.

Theoretical Analysis and Experimental Test of Full-scale Bamboo Scrimber Flexural Components

The bending tests and theoretical analysis of five full-scale bamboo scrimber components were conducted and the flexural behavior of bamboo scrimber was researched in detail. Results show that the typical failure modes of bamboo scrimber flexural components are the bamboo fiber fracture at the bottom and interlaminar shear failure near the neutral axis. The sectional stiffness control the design for the bamboo scrimber flexural components, the ratio of PL/250 of the load corresponding to the deflection limit value of L/250 and ultimate load Pmax has good stability. The relationship model of bending tensile strength fm and elastic modulus E was established by regression, which shows that the sectional stiffness expressed by the elastic modulus could predict the bearing capacity well. The plane-section assumption is still valid. The bamboo calculation methods of scrimber flexural components were proposed considering the materials properties of bamboo scrimber based on wood structure design methods. The design value of bamboo bending strength, shear strength parallel to grain and the elastic modulus E were presented preliminarily.     

Analysis of the Lateral Deformation of Structural Soft Dredger Fill with True Triaxial Test

In order to study the mechanical properties and structural properties of soft dredger fill under lateral deformation. Based on true triaxial and WF stress path apparatus, lateral unloading undrained tests were carried out. The results derived from true triaxial test, WF stress path test and routine triaxial shear test were analyzed. The contrastive conclusions are as follows: The stress-strain curve of true triaxial unloading test shows a softening behavior, which is different from the hardening behavior for that of conventional triaxial shear test. With the increase of initial confined pressure, the dilatancy of soil transfers from shrinkage to expansion. The structural yield stress of the unloading soil with true triaxial test method is dramatically larger than that with the latter two tests due to the effect of intermediate principal, which exhibits a nonlinear growth as the coefficient of intermediate principal bd stress jumps. The shear strength indexes of unloading soil with true triaxial test is larger than that with WF stress path test. Compared with the results of routine triaxial test, the internal friction angle of true triaxial test is bigger while the cohesion is smaller.     

Effect of Shear Lag on Structural Behaviours in Indeterminate Box Girders

A finite element method considering interaction betwee bending and shear lag deformation was proposed and the finite element formulations including the effect of shear lag was deduced. The effect of shear lag on structural behaviours in indeterminate box girders was studied in detail based on the proposed method. Firstly, the shear lag effects on deflection and the shear lag coefficients were analyzed for both determinate and indeterminate beams. The results obtained by using the proposed method were compared with those by using the analytical method. Finally, the effect of shear lag on redistribution of internal forces including shear force, bending moment, and additional bending moment due to shear lag in indeterminate box girder bridges was studied. It is found that the effects of shear lag on deflection and stresses at a cross section are obvious for both determinate and indeterminate beams, while the effect of shear lag on internal forces in indeterminate box girder bridges is small and may be neglected.     

Effect of Longitudinal Reinforcement Rate on Shear Behavior of Beams without Web Reinforcement Restriction

Previous researches on shear behavior of inclined sections in reinforced concrete beams used to be carried out on a comparatively high longitudinal reinforcement ratio in the codes of various countries.However,the shear design methods based on the data obtained from these researches may have distinguished deviations.This paper studies the shear behavior on a comparatively low longitudinal reinforcement ratio.Research has indicated that different longitudinal reinforcement ratios have significant impact on the shear behavior and the development of cracks in the beams,and the shear design equation in the code applied to beams without wed reinforcement restrained maybe not safe enough.     

Seismic Tests and Pushover Analysis of Spatial RC Frame-Shear Wall Structures

Pseudo-static tests of three one-storey spatial RC frame-shear wall structures with floor slabs were conducted to investigate their failure modes and hysteretic behaviors. The test results were compared with those of pushover analysis. It is shown that: 1) damage of the frame beams occurs later and is less than that of the shear wall and the frame columns; 2) damage of the floor slabs under lateral loading is significant in regions close to the shear wall, and tensile stresses of slabs' steel bars in these regions are much larger; 3) in comparison with the case that the floor slabs are neglected, the maximum lateral load that a frame-shear wall structure can bear is larger in the case that the floor slabs are taken into account, and the contribution ratio of the shear wall also increases; 4) shear forces carried by the frame columns with identical cross sections and reinforcement details but located at different positions are close to each other on the whole.     

Rut resistance Properties of a Large stone Flexible Base under Heavy Loads

The rut resistance properties of large stone flexible bases are studied, taking into consideration heavy loads and using computer simulation and numerous indoor tests. In computer simulations of large stone flexible bases, a calculation method was formulated for predicting asphalt pavement rut under dynamic loads. The method was based on the coupling of vehicle dynamic loads and pavement surface unevenness. The results of indoor testing and three dimensional numeric calculation under dynamic loads are confirmed by tracking observation results of a test road. We conclude that the rut resistance properties of large stone flexible base asphalt pavement built using low grade asphalt and low crush value high performance aggregate with reasonable gradation is no worse than that of the semirigid base asphalt pavement, and that ruts mainly are caused by the lateral shear.
