Modified Equation of Shear Strength with Respect to Saturation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Unsaturated soil shear strength is a significant topic in geotechnical engineering. The measurement of unsaturated soil properties such as shear strength and matric suction could be costly, hard, time-consuming, and often impractical to obtain.

Shear Strength Prediction Equations and Experimental Study of High Strength Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams with Different Shear Span-to-Depth Ratios

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Conducting research on steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams without stirrups, particularly the SFRC beams with high-strength concrete (HSC) and high-strength steel (HSS) reinforcing bars is essential due to the limitation of test results of high ...

Spontaneous thermal runaway as an ultimate failure mechanism of materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The first theoretical estimate of the shear strength of a perfect crystal was given by Frenkel [Z. Phys. 37, 572 (1926)]. He assumed that as slip occurred, two rigid atomic rows in the crystal would move over each other along a slip plane.

Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.

The temperature-dependent shear strength of ice-filled joints in rock mass considering the effect of joint roughness, opening and shear rates [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2023
Global warming causes many rockfall activities in alpine mountains, especially when ice-filled joints in the rock mass become thawed. The warming and thawing of frozen soils and intact rocks have been widely studied in the past several decades; however ...

Physical and Mechanical Characteristics of Shallow Expansive Soil due to Freeze-Thaw Effect with Water Supplement

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
Shear strength of shallow expansive soil varies along with the depth under the freeze-thaw effect. This work investigates shear strength characteristics of shallow expansive soil by simulating the actual freeze boundary conditions of seasonal frozen ...

Effects of Freezing Temperature and Salinity on the Adhesion Shear Strength of Amphibious Aircraft Tires under Static Icing

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
This research investigates the effects of freezing temperature and salinity on the adhesion shear strength of amphibious aircraft tires under static icing. It found that the lower the freezing temperature, the greater the ice adhesion shear strength, and

Mechanisms for slow strengthening in granular materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Several mechanisms cause a granular material to strengthen over time at low applied stress. The strength is determined from the maximum frictional force F_max experienced by a shearing plate in contact with wet or dry granular material after the layer ...
