Adhesive Interface

This paper presents the results of a numerical and analytical study to investigate the effect of adhesive interface on the ultimate capacity of a new composite sandwich shear wall: double-superposed shear wall. The effect of adhesive interface on the ultimate capacity of two different wall configurations under different axial compression ratios was studied. The results indicate that, for the two different wall configurations, the bond strength of adhesive interface has a negligible effect on ultimate bearing capacity. As a result of the different intensity grades between cast-in-situ concrete wythe and precast concrete wythe, the double-superposed shear wall with precast boundary elements (wall configuration W3) yields a higher ultimate bearing capacity than that with cast-in-place boundary elements (wall configuration W2), when the axial compression ratio exceeds 0.2, which is contrary to the results under 0.1 axial compression ratio. A new calculation method for ultimate bearing capacity is proposed to take into account the different intensity grades, and the calculation results show a very good agreement with the numerical simulation results.

Timber Piles

As part of the design of an important pile foundation, an extensive testing program has been carried out in order to determine the type and the necessary characteristics of the pile best suited to the site and the structure to be designed. Three types of piles have been tested, i.e. timber piles, a steel H-pile, and a Herkules precast concrete pile. The Herkules and H-piles were equipped with deformation gauges and driven in 10-ft (3-m) increments to a total length of 70 ft (21 m), a loading test being carried out at the end of each increment. Thus, it was possible to determine the variations of the bearing capacity, the point–resistance, and the skin-friction as functions of the embedded pile length.The aim of this paper is to present the technique used and the results obtained.

Steel Pipe Pile

Based on the present tecnology of pile, a method of compacted forming concrete pile applied in the subsea base is studied. Using the method of finite different the procedure of compacted forming at the end of steel pipe pile has been simulated in the particular geology soil, the effects of the elastic modulus, cohesion, friction and dilation on the compacted behaviour are aquired and the bearing capacity has been calculated. The results show that the ultimate bearing capacity of this pile increases approximate 3 times bigger than the steel pipe pile with the same dimentions, in addition, its curve of Q-S is smooth and ultimate feature point is indistinct, which proves that this tecnology of compacted forming concrete pile is able to increase the bearing capacity prominently.

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.
