In order to improve the shear behavior of hollow concrete block masonry, precast concrete anti-shear blocks were proposed to enhance the shear strength of hollow concrete block masonry. Four groups of hollow concrete block masonry triplets with precast concrete anti-shear blocks were tested under shear loading, and their behaviors were compared with a control group. The results show that as the height of precast concrete anti-shear blocks increases, the shear strength of the masonry increases. The maximum shear strength of masonry triplets with precast concrete anti-shear blocks was 234.48 percent higher than that of the control specimens. The shear strength of masonry triplets was mainly determined by the failure of hollow concrete block unit. The majority of specimens exhibited double shear failures; however, these failures showed characteristics of ductile failure to a certain extent. Based on the experimental results, a equation for calculating the shear strength of masonry with precast concrete anti-shear blocks was proposed.

The shear behavior of concrete blocks reinforced by fully grouted bolts with different diameters was studied in this paper. More than 90 intact cubic samples (100 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm) with bolts ranging from 2 mm to 5 mm in diameter were tested at a constant stain rate of 0.5 mm/min. An oblique shear apparatus, which could simultaneously apply shear and normal force on tested samples at three slope angles (53°, 58°, and 63°) of a predetermined shear plane, was employed. The results indicate that the bolt has no evident influence on the shear behavior of intact concrete blocks at the prepeak shear strength stage. The bolt could significantly reduce the shear strength drop in the peak shear strength of the concrete block and contribute to reserving the residual shear strength of concrete blocks, especially at steep slope angles of the shear failure plane. The shear resistance provided by the bolt to the concrete block at the residual shear slip stage has a positive relationship with the diameter. The bolt with a larger diameter inflected in the vicinity of the shear failure plane of concrete block at the postpeak shear strength stage; additional normal force and direct shear resistance could still be persistently provided. Two empirical equations of the apparent cohesion and apparent internal angle of the bolted concrete block were obtained by linear regression considering rb, which is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the bolt to that of the bolted concrete block.

An orthotropic failure criterion enhancing the Lourenco's criterion by a shear strength multiplier and a maximum shear strength upper bound has been recently proposed and validated for timber under tensile and shear loading by the authors. The paper discusses its applicability for predicting strength in comparison with Tsai-Hill criterion, Hankinson's and Hyperbolic formula applying the two above mentioned enhancements of the Lourenco's criterion. Experimental data available in the literature for off-axis tensile and shear test of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis Carr.), Katsura (Cercidiphyllurn japonicurn Sieb. and Zucc.), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Douglas fir laminated veneer and Cupiúba (Goupia glabra) are used for the purpose of this study.

In this study, experiments and numerical analyses were carried out to examine the flexural and shear performance of a double composite wall (DCW) manufactured using a precast concrete (PC) method. One flexural specimen and three shear specimens were fabricated, and the effect of the bolts used for the assembly of the PC panels on the shear strength of the DCW was investigated. The failure mode, flexural and shear behavior, and composite behavior of the PC panel and cast-in-place (CIP) concrete were analyzed in detail, and the behavioral characteristics of the DCW were clearly identified by comparing the results of tests with those obtained from a non-linear flexural analysis and finite element analysis. Based on the test and analysis results, this study proposed a practical equation for reasonably estimating the shear strength of a DCW section composed of PC, CIP concrete, and bolts utilizing the current code equations.

In the presented paper, the impacts of steel fiber use and tensile reinforcement ratio on shear behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) beams were investigated from the point of different tensile reinforcement ratios. In the scope of the experimental program, a total of eight beams consisting of four reinforcement ratios representing low to high ratios ranged from 0.8% to 2.2% were casted without shear reinforcement and subjected to the four-point loading test. While half of the test beams included 30 mm end-hooked steel fibers (SF-UHPC) with 2.0 vol%, the remaining beams were produced without the fiber to show possible effectiveness of the fiber use. The shear performances were discussed in terms of the load—deflection response, cracking pattern and failure mode, first cracking load and ultimate shear strength. In this sense, all the non-fiber beams were failed by shear with a dramatic load drop, regardless of the tensile reinforcement amount, before the yielding of reinforcement and they produced no deflection capability. The test results showed that while the inclusion of steel fibers to the UHPC mixture with low reinforcement ratios changed the failure mode from the shear to flexure, it significantly enhanced the ultimate shear strength in the case of higher reinforcement ratio through the SF-UHPC’ superior mechanical properties and fibers’ crack-bridging ability.

By the experimental studying on the basic mechanical properties of recycled concrete hollow block masonry, the compressive and shear behavior of recycled aggregate concrete hollow block masonry under different mortar strength were analyzed. Research indicated that the compressive and shear behavior of recycled aggregate concrete hollow block masonry was similar to that of ordinary concrete hollow block masonry. The normal formula was recommended to calculate the compressive strength of the masonry. The shear strength of the masonry was affected by the mortar strength. The shear strength calculation formula of recycled concrete hollow block masonry was proposed according to the formula of masonry design code. The calculating results were in good agreement with the test results.

C/SiC composites have widely application prospects in the field of aeronautic and aerospace for their excellent properties. The joining of C/SiC composites is a key to fabricate large and complex components. In this paper, 1D C/SiC pins were prepared by precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) process and used to join C/SiC composites by Slurry react (SR) and PIP process. The shear strength of the C/SiC pins with different carbon fiber volumes was investigated with the maximum shear strength as high as 339.46MPa. Influences of C/SiC pins on the joining properties of C/SiC composites were studied. The shear strength and flexural strength of C/SiC-C/SiC joining are improved from 9.17MPa and 30.41MPa without pins to 20.06MPa and 75.03MPa with one C/SiC pin (diameter 2mm), respectively. The reliability of C/SiC-C/SiC joining is also improved with C/SiC pins in that the fracture mode changes from catastrophic without pins to non-catastrophic. The SEM photos show a strong bond between joining layer and C/SiC composites without obvious interface.

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the Mode II interfacial fracture toughness and interfacial shear strength of Typha spp. fiber/PLLA and Typha spp. fiber/epoxy composite by using a double shear stress method with 3 fibers model composite. The surface condition of the fiber and crack propagation at the interface between the fiber and the matrix are observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Alkali treatment on Typha spp. fiber can make the fiber surface coarser, thus increasing the value of interfacial fracture toughness and interfacial shear strength. Typha spp. fiber/epoxy has a higher interfacial fracture value than that of Typha spp. fiber/PLLA. Interfacial fracture toughness on Typha spp. fiber/PLLA and Typha spp. fiber/epoxy composite model specimens were influenced by the matrix length, fiber spacing, fiber diameter and bonding area. Furthermore, the interfacial fracture toughness and the interfacial fracture shear stress of the composite model increased with the increasing duration of the surface treatment.
