This paper presents the experimental and numerical analysis of damaged steel beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP sheet or only strengthened with CFRP sheet. The test results showed that damaged level had a significant effect on the stiffness, yield load, and ultimate bearing capacity. And using prestressing CFRP sheet to strengthen damaged steel beam could increase the ultimate bearing capacity. The numerical analysis results showed that the damaged level had a significant effect on the stiffness and ultimate bearing capacity. The strengthened steel beam with the damaged level could exceed the steel beam without damage by about 10% in the ultimate bearing capacity. The ultimate bearing capacity would increase about 8% when the flange or web thickness increased per 1 mm. The ultimate bearing capacity would increase about 3% when the thickness or width of CFRP sheet increased per 0.05 mm or 10 mm. The bearing capacity would increase about 1.5% when the prestressed degree increased about 7%.

Deem test results from the low reversed cyclic loading quasi-static test with 2 RC columns as the basic information of secant stiffness damage of the reference column and take use of the TMS instrument in the test to artificially make the damage percentage of secant stiffness of the RC column as 33%, 50% and 66%, 6 damaged columns in total; reinforce the 6 damaged columns and 2 undamaged ones under the same conditions with AFL, through quasi-static contrast test. Test results show that it is able to effectively boost horizontal ultimate bearing capacity and ductility deformability of the RC columns with AFL for reinforcement; besides, there is a linear function relationship between horizontal ultimate bearing capacity, target ductility factor, and damage percentage of secant stiffness.

An experimental program of laboratory bearing tests was performed to characterize the bearing capacity of foundation on unsaturated granular soils. All tests were performed by pushing a circular rod on the surface of compacted sand specimens with different values of matric suction until failure. The test results show an increase in ultimate bearing capacity with increasing matric suction at low suction value but a decrease in that at high level of suction. The comparisons between the test results and simulations using the expressions proposed in this paper are presented and discussed. Good agreements are achieved for all testing values of suction.

To investigate the influence of wire mesh type, wrapped way and stress of column on the behavior of RC square columns, the experiment including an unreinforced column and 7 strengthened columns with the high strength wire mesh mortar were tested. The results were shown that the strength and axial deformation of columns reinforced by high strength wire mesh mortar were enhanced. Finally, the calculation formula for ultimate bearing capacity of the reinforced columns was given based on the test results, which agreed with the tested results well.

Laboratory model test results for the ultimate bearing capacity of strip and square foundations supported by sand reinforced with geogrid layers have been presented. Based on the model test results, the critical depth of reinforcement and the dimensions of the geogrid layers for mobilizing the maximum bearing-capacity ratio have been determined and compared. Key words : bearing capacity, geogrid, model test, reinforced sand, shallow foundation.

Reinforced concrete beams strengthened with externally bonded CFRP sheet and prestressed CFRP are analyzed in this paper. Crack developments and displacements with curvatures for different beams are analyzed. Test results show that prestressed CFRP are able to control the development of macro cracks in concrete and prestressed CFRP is an effective method to improve the toughness of concrete, reduce strengthening cost and meanwhile enhance bearing capacity of concrete beams.

Abstract. In the presented paper, reverse push-out test method was put forward and applied in the ultimate bearing capacity experiments of studs with concrete slab in tension. Ultimate bearing capacity experiments were carried out on 22 reverse push-out specimens composed of C50 or C40 concrete, 14MnNbq steel girder and Φ22studs. Results showed that ultimate bearing capacity of studs, pu, in tensile concrete slab is controlled by concrete failur, concrete strength, studs arragement and reinforcement ratio are the main influence factors of pu. Compared with that in compressive concrete, pu of Φ22 studs in tensile concrete is reduced about 30% averagely. According to the test results, a fitted load-slip relationship curve and a regression formula of pu for studs in tensile concrete were put forward, calculated results were in good agreement with the test results.

Prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) pipe piles have been widely used in engineering fields in recent years; however, the influencing factors of their ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) in multilayer soil need to be further studied. In this paper, a static load test (SLT) and numerical analysis are performed to obtain the load transfer and key UBC factors of pipe piles. The results show that the UBC of the test pile is mainly provided by the pile shaft resistance (PSR), but the pile tip resistance (PTR) cannot be ignored. Many factors can change the UBC of pipe piles, but their effects are different. The UBC of the pipe pile is linearly related to the friction coefficient and the outer-to-inner diameter ratio. Changes in the pile length make the UBC increase sharply. Low temperatures can produce freezing stress at the pile–soil interface. The effect of changing the Young modulus of pile tip soil is relatively small.

The ultimate bearing capacity of rigid vertical and batter piles and pile groups in clay has been determined under various inclinations of the load, varying from the vertical to horizontal directions. The results of load tests on single model piles of different lengths and inclinations and on free-standing groups and piled foundations are compared with theoretical estimates. The influence of load inclination on the bearing capacity can be represented by simple interaction relationships between the axial and normal components of the ultimate load. The effect of eccentricity of the load on the ultimate bearing capacity of pile groups is discussed on the basis of previous theory and model test results.
