In this study, the co-effects of steel fibers and FRP confinement on the concrete behavior under the axial compression load are investigated. Thus, the experimental tests were conducted on 18 steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimens confined by FRP. Moreover, 24 existing experimental test results of FRP-confined specimens tested under axial compression are gathered to compile a reliable database for developing a mathematical model. In the conducted experimental tests, the concrete strength was varied as 26 MPa and 32.5 MPa and the steel fiber content was varied as 0.0%, 1.5%, and 3%. The specimens were confined with one and two layers of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheet. The experimental test results show that simultaneously using the steel fibers and FRP confinement in concrete not only significantly increases the peak strength and ultimate strain of concrete but also solves the issue of sudden failure in the FRP-confined concrete. The simulations confirm that the results of the proposed model are in good agreement with those of experimental tests.

Abstract The bonding state of the asphalt layers in a road pavement structure significantly affects its fatigue life. These bondings, therefore, require detailed tests and optimization. In this paper, the analyses of the correlation between the results of laboratory static tests and the results of fatigue tests of asphalt mixture interlayer bondings were performed. The existence of the relationships between selected parameters was confirmed. In the future, the results of these analyses may allow for assessment of interlayer bondings’ fatigue life based on the results of quick and relatively easy static tests.

Numerous papers have investigated the behavior of dry-friction whip and whirl; most of them consider contact between a rotor and stator at a single location. For rotors running on multiple magnetic bearings, air bearings, or bushings, equipment failure may result in rub at more than one location. For these cases, it is important to have an analytical model that characterizes possible regions of two-point contact dry-friction whip and whirl. The current work presents a general model to predict possible whirl regions for multi-contact dry-friction whip and whirl, allowing for an arbitrary phase between contact locations. In theory this method can be applied to more than two contact locations; however, a two-point contact example case is developed and compared to results from an experimental test rig developed to demonstrate multi-contact dry-friction whip and whirl in the current work.

Accidents of the cement manufacturers’ reinforced concrete silo structures frequently occurred currently in China, because of quality problems, causing enormous losses. The collapse status of a cement raw meal silo is investigated. Combined with the test results of the location and spacing of silo wall’s reinforcing bars, concrete strength, cracks and defects, the reasons for collapse of silo wall are analyzed and design recommendations for concrete silo structures are made. This can give reference to reinforced concrete silo structure design and construction in the future.

Based on the coal petrology character of Taixi anthracite, the selective flocculation-flotation preparation of super clean coal is studied. The influences factors of the type and dosage of dispersant, the type and dosage of flocculant, pulp density etc etc on its effect is analyzed, and, through the orthogonal experimental methods, the salience order, interaction, and the optimum combination of the main factors is revealed. The finally test results indicate that we can obtain an ash about 1.29% at a yield of 41.85%% super clean coal, thus will provide basis for the future super clean coal industrialization.

Bearing capacity and settlement are two important parameters in geotechnical engineering. The bearing capacity of circular foundations on sandy soils is important to geotechnical practicing engineers. Design of foundations includes soil parameters and bearing capacity of foundation. This paper presents the results of laboratory experimental model tests of circular footings supported on sand deposit under static load. The finite element software Abaqus is used to compare the results. The effects of the relative density of the sand (30%, 50%, and 70%) and the diameter of circular footing (75 mm and 100 mm) are investigated. It can be concluded that the experimental test results fit quite well with the results of numerical method.
