We perform molecular simulations to characterize the structure and the thermo-mechanical behavior of crystalline alkali-silica reaction (ASR) products, which are layered silicate analogous to shlykovite.

For non-seismically designed columns with insufficient strength and flexural stiffness, intense inter-story drift can be incurred during a strong earthquake event, potentially leading to the collapse of the entire building. Existing strengthening methods mainly focus on enhancing axial or flexural strength but not the flexural stiffness of columns. In response, a novel direct fastening steel jackets that can increase both flexural strength and stiffness is introduced. This novel strengthening method features straightforward installation and swift strengthening as direct fastening is used to connect steel plates together to form a steel jacketed column. This new connection method can quickly and stably connect two steel components together by driving high strength fasteners into them. In this paper, the design procedure of RC columns strengthened with this novel strengthening method is originally proposed, which includes five steps: (1) estimating lateral load capacity of damaged RC columns; (2) determining connection spacing of steel jacket; (3) estimating the lateral load capacity of strengthened RC column; (4) evaluating the axial load ratio (ALR) of strengthened RC columns; and (5) estimating effective stiffness of strengthened RC columns. Lastly, an example is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed design procedure.

Ceramics, such as Al2O3 and SiC have numerous current and potential uses in applications where high temperature strength, hardness, and wear resistance are required often in corrosive environments. These materials are, however, highly anisotropic and brittle, so that their mechanical behavior is often unpredictable. The further development of these materials will require a better understanding of the basic mechanisms controlling deformation, wear, and fracture.The purpose of this talk is to describe applications of TEM to the study of the deformation, wear, and fracture of Al2O3. Similar studies are currently being conducted on SiC and the techniques involved should be applicable to a wide range of hard, brittle materials.
