Honeycomb Sandwich

The present work focuses on the in-plane shear respond and failure mode of large size honeycomb sandwich composites which consist of plain weave carbon fabric laminate skins and aramid paper core. A special size specimen based on a typical element of aircraft fuselage was designed and manufactured. A modified in-plane shear test method and the corresponding fixture was developed. Three large size specimens were tested. The distributed strain gauges were used to monitor the mechanical response and ultimate bearing capacity. The results show that a linear respond of displacement and strain appears with the increase of the load. The average shear failure load reaches 205.68 kN with the shear failure occurring on the face sheet, and the maximum shear strain monitored on the composite plate is up to 16,115 με. A combination of theoretical analysis and finite element method (FEM) was conducted to predict the shear field distribution and the overall buckling load. The out-of-plane displacement field distribution and in-plane shear strain field distribution under the pure shear loading were revealed. The theoretical analysis method was deduced to obtain the variation rule of the shear buckling load. A good agreement was achieved among the experiment, theoretical analysis, and FEM results. It can be concluded that the theoretical analysis method is relatively conservative, and the FEM is more accurate in case of deformation and strain. The results predicted by h element and p element methods are very close. The results of the study could provide data support for the comprehensive promotion of the design and application of honeycomb sandwich composites.

In order to investigate the influence of the joint on the failure mode, peak shear strength, and shear stress-strain curve of rock mass, the compression shear test loading on the parallel jointed specimens was carried out, and the acoustic emission system was used to monitor the loading process. The joint spacing and joint overlap were varied to alter the relative positions of parallel joints in geometry. Under compression-shear loading, the failure mode of the joint specimen can be classified into four types: coplanar shear failure, shear failure along the joint plane, shear failure along the shear stress plane, and similar integrity shear failure. The joint dip angle has a decisive effect on the failure mode of the specimen. The joint overlap affects the crack development of the specimen but does not change the failure mode of the specimen. The joint spacing can change the failure mode of the specimen. The shear strength of the specimen firstly increases and then decreases with the increase of the dip angle and reaches the maximum at 45°. The shear strength decreases with the increase of the joint overlap and increases with the increase of the joint spacing. The shear stress-displacement curves of different joint inclination samples have differences which mainly reflect in the postrupture stage. From monitoring results of the AE system, the variation regular of the AE count corresponds to the failure mode, and the peak value of the AE count decreases with the increase of joint overlap and increases with the increase of joint spacing.

Highwall Slope

Field examination of highwall slope failures occurring in some coal strip mines in Alberta in association with bentonite has led to the concept of a multiple-block plane shear failure mode in which a series of individual block failures regresses back into the slope for distances up to five times the slope height. These failures cause a rapid deterioration of the bench from which the dragline operates, reduce productivity, and necessitate bench maintenance to provide a safe, stable bench prior to the next pass of the dragline.A probabilistic limiting equilibrium analysis was developed to predict the positions of successive failure blocks and its predictions were compared with slope geometry and laboratory strength data from a producing coal strip mine in which a failure was active.Two slope failures reported in the literature (Folkestone Warren landslips and an Oxford Clay brick pit, both in England) were reanalysed using the multiple-block plane shear failure mode, and it is suggested that this mode of failure offers an alternative explanation for the slope kinematics observed.Finally, the most effective means of reducing the probability of failure or controlling the extent of slope failure retrogression is by dewatering. Key words: slopes, failure, coal mining, bentonite, clay bands, plane shear, case history, probabilistic analysis.

<p>Reinforced concrete – steel plate composite shear walls (RCSPSW) have attracted great interests in the construction of tall buildings. From the perspective of life-cycle maintenance, the failure mode recognition is critical in determining the post-earthquake recovery strategies. This paper presents a comprehensive study on a wide range of existing experimental tests and develops a unique library of 17 parameters that affects RCSPSW’s failure modes. A total of 127 specimens are compiled and three types of failure modes are considered: flexure, shear and flexure-shear failure modes. Various machine learning (ML) techniques such as decision trees, random forests (RF), <i>K</i>-nearest neighbours and artificial neural network (ANN) are adopted to identify the failure mode of RCSPSW. RF and ANN algorithm show superior performance as compared to other ML approaches. In Particular, ANN model with one hidden layer and 10 neurons is sufficient for failure mode recognition of RCSPSW.</p>

Joint Fracture

To investigate whether shallow hinge joint fracture was caused by shear stress or flexural stress, during the demolition and reconstruction of Xiaojiang River bridge, two original girders were collected and shipped to the lab, and the shallow hinge joint between the two girders was rebuilt. Tests were performed to investigate the cracking load, failure mode, and force transmission performance of the hollow slab girder and shallow hinge joint under vehicle load. The test result shows that under eccentric load, when the load increases to 365 kN, the midspan bottom slab of the testing girder starts to fracture; as the load increases to 560 kN, the roof slab of the testing girder starts to fracture; the hinge joint has a maximum horizontal opening of 0.153 mm and vertical relative displacement of 0.201 mm; during the entire test loading process, the shallow hinge joint structure does not develop fracture and shear failure; and the shallow hinge structure demonstrates excellent shear stress transmission performance. In addition, based on hinge slab theory, the hinge joint internal force under vehicle load was calculated. Based on ACI 318-05 specification, CAN/CSA-S6-00, and JTG D61-2005, the hinge joint shear bearing capacity was calculated. Hinge joint stress resistances calculated from the three specifications all exceed the internal force. Among them, the calculation results from ACI 318-05 and CAN/CSA-S6-00 are similar, while the result from JTG D61-2005 specification significantly exceeds the internal force, which is mainly because the designed concrete direct shear strength fvd in the Chinese specification does not consider factors such as bonding surface coarseness, concrete pouring sequence, and material properties. Theoretical calculations and tests show that the actual failure mode of the shallow hinge joint in prefabricated hollow slab girder bridges is not caused by shear stress.
