Pile Response

Pile jacking process can lead to high bearing capacity, stiff base response but sometimes excessive installation resistance. However, it limited by jack capacity and negative shaft resistance. To overcome some of the above problems and to improve the pile performance, rotary jacking of the pile is used. It can alleviate installation problems and bearing capacity is activated during subsequent loading. Therefore, the objective of this research is to investigate the behavior of pile using this new innovative technique. A 25 mm circular fabricated steel pile was used for the experiments The experiments were done in the laboratory using a large container filled with silica sand, and the rotary and jacking method was tested with few series of cases. Results show that this new method of pile installation is successfully obtained and acceptable. This new method of pile installation is an innovative method to be used for the future in the construction industry.

Geogrids are being used in transportation application often in embankment construction due to their ease of construction and economy compared to traditional methods. Utilizing polymer materials in order to improve the performance of road structure is based on two factors, decreasing deformation and increasing bearing capacity. In this study geogrids were tested to check the ability of increasing load carrying capacity for highway projects. The purpose of this research work was to find a relation between the loading of the geogrid, the thickness of the aggregate layer and its bearing capacity. This would normally lead to an investigation on the lateral restrain behavior of a geogrid. According to the results obtained from soil mechanics laboratory, it could be demonstrated that by utilizing geogrids , the probability of occurring rutting decreases 30% and the bearing capacity of soil increase 40 % respectively.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njst.v15i1.12020  Nepal Journal of Science and TechnologyVol. 15, No.1 (2014) 77-80

Fully clamped reinforced concrete (RC) slab is a common structural component possessing better load-carrying capacity over simply supported slab. Currently, typical yield line theory is a popular approach to estimate the bearing capacity of fully clamped RC slab, although it would greatly underestimate the actual ultimate resistance. This paper is devoted to enriching the knowledge of membrane action and its contribution to the load-carrying capacity of the clamped slab. The resistance trajectory of fully clamped RC slab from loading to failure undergoes three phases: the ascending branch raised by outward movement prevention, the descending branch due to crushed concrete and the re-ascending branch caused by reinforcement strain. Applied load–deflection curves of RC slab accompanying compressive-membrane actions are achieved according to the bending theory of normal cross-section. The reserve capacities accompanying tensile-membrane actions in the condition of large deformations are further derived. The whole load–deflection curves that considered compressive-tensile membrane effects are finally presented, where the mid-span displacements are revised by the deflection equations and the softening coefficient of flexural rigidity. It is indicated that the load–deflection relationships of fully clamped RC slabs can be reasonably depicted by taking compressive-tensile membrane effects into account, which are fairly different from yield line approaches. Comparative analysis shows that analytical results are in good agreement with experimental data reported by Park et al. and illustrates that the proposed model is capable of predicting the bearing capacity of fully clamped RC slab with very good accuracy.

Load Carrying

Bamboo has been significantly and rapidly used to build temporal and permanent structures since time immemorial. However, this renewable natural material has a low bearing capacity, limiting its application to structures under light loads. Therefore, this research was carried out to determine an innovative scheme capable of enhancing bamboo's load-bearing by filling the cavity with cement mortar. Furthermore, a study was carried out to experiment flexural load carrying capacity and the deflection of mortar-filled structural bamboo by considering the diameter and node parameters. A total of 12 specimens were examined using a four-point bending protocol. The result showed the ultimate flexural load carrying capacity of mortar-filled bamboo specimens are higher than those of the conventional bamboo specimens. Specifically, mortar filled bamboo specimen with a diameter of 70 mm was significantly better, 41.10 and 47.06%, as compared than the conventional bamboo in terms of its flexural load carrying capacity for specimen without and with nodes, respectively. Increases in flexural load carrying capacity were also observed for the mortar-filled bamboo specimens having 80 and 90 mm diameter and these observed increases were recorded as 104.55 and 112.00%, and 48.72 and 60.74%, respectively for specimen without and with nodes. Furthermore, the deflection of mortar-filled bamboo elements are substantially greater than those of conventional. Finally, the advantages of the bamboo diameter and bamboo nodes on the flexural load carrying capacity indicated that these essential findings need to be carefully considered in designing structural elements for both mortar-filled and conventional bamboos.

Joint Behaviour

The load-carrying capacity of a K-type joint inside a floor truss is studied both experimentally and numerically. The joint tested is a scaled-down, isolated joint. The tubular braces, plate chord, and division plate are made of SSAB Domex steel. Comparison of load displacement curves received by finite element analyses with curves obtained from tests confirms that numerical models describe joint behaviour reasonable. The paper demonstrates that joints with high load-bearing capacity can be investigated experimentally by scaling the dimensions of the joint down when testing devices can affect the required capacity of the joint. The results presented can also be used for optimizing failure mechanism of similar joints in practice.

<p>In today’s world, the construction industry both structural and non-structural elements are fabricated from thin gauges of steel sheets. These thin walled sections are being used as columns, beams, joists, studs, floor decking, built-up sections and other components for lightly loaded structures. Unlike hot rolled sections, the design of Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) section for beam is predominantly controlled by various buckling modes of failure, thereby drastically reducing their load carrying capacity. Hence there is an urgent need in the CFS industry to look beyond the conventional CFS beam sections and investigate newly proposed innovative CFS beam sections, which seem to prove structurally much more efficient. Prior to any experimental investigation of innovative beam sections, there is a need to carry out theoretical design using some of the most appropriate available methods applicable to the case under consideration. This paper focuses on such theoretical designs for various innovative sections using available analytical design tools together with appropriate codal guidelines.</p>

The Impact

Construction of civil engineering structures on or next to a slope requires special attention to meet the bearing capacity requirements of soils. In this paper, to address such a challenge, we present laboratory-scale model tests to investigate the effect of footing shape on the sloped surface. The model comprised of a well stiffened mild steel box with three sides fixed and one side open. We considered both with and without reinforcement to assess the effectiveness of reinforcement on the sloped surface. Also, we used three types of footing (i.e., square, rectangular, and circular) to measure the footing shape effects. We considered three different slope angles to evaluate the impact of the sloped face corresponding to the applied load and the reinforcement application. We obtained that the maximum load carrying capacity in the square footing was higher than the rectangular and the circular footing for both the reinforced and the unreinforced soil. With the increase of geo-reinforcement in all three footing shapes and three sloped angles, the load carrying capacity increased. We also noticed a limiting condition in geo-reinforcement placement effectiveness. And we found that with the increase of slope, the load bearing capacity decreased. For a steep slope, the geo-reinforcement placement and the footing shape selection is crucial in achieving the external load sustainability, which we addressed herein.

Bridge piers generate local destruction at impact point after suffering medium and low speed impact, and then their bearing capacities decrease a lot. In order to analyze the reliability of piers with damage, based on the formula in code, this thesis used ANSYS to analyze surplus normal section load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete bridge piers with notches in different sizes. The relation curve between axial bearing capacity of piers and scaling area of concrete was obtained. After comparing with formula in code, a new formula was obtained, which can be used in calculating surplus normal section load-carrying capacity of chipped bridge piers.

Strip Footings

In the present paper, the interference effects on bearing capacity of two and three closely spaced strip footings resting on granular bed overlying clay are being studied. A simple analytical model is proposed to predict the load-carrying capacity and the interference factor of an interfered footing, when adjacent strip footings are optimally placed on the surface of a Granular Bed (GB) overlying clay and both the footings are simultaneously loaded. A punching shear failure mechanism is envisaged in the analytical model. The load-carrying capacity of the footing is taken as the sum of total shearing resistances along the two vertical planes through the edges of the strip footing in the upper granular layer and the load-carrying capacity of the soft clay beneath the GB. Insights gained from finite element simulations are used to develop the new modified punching shear model for interfering footing. Bearing capacity can be easily calculated by using the proposed punching shear model for interfering footing. The analytical model is validated with numerical analyses and previous experimental results and found to be in reasonably good agreement. The influence of different parameters such as granular bed thickness, width of footing, number of footings are carried out in this study. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091723 Full Text: PDF

Research on the preservation and restoration of masonry arches is of interest for the scientific and civil engineering communities, and the construction industry. Among the open investigation topics in the field, the study of new materials for strengthening masonry arches has gained attention from researchers. In this context, this paper presents the experimental results from destructive tests carried out on a masonry arch strengthened with steel fiber reinforced mortar (SFRM). The tested masonry arch was made of solid clay bricks disposed in a single layer and was strengthened with a single layer of steel FRM bonded at the arch intrados. In order to replicate the possible condition of an existing arch in which acting loads exceeded the member strength, the arch was preloaded before strengthening. The performance of the strengthened arch is discussed in terms of witnessed failure mode, ductility and increase in the load carrying capacity with respect to unstrengthened condition.
