AbstractThe aim of the paper is to investigate the shear failure mechanisms in T-shape, single span and simply supported beams exclusively reinforced with longitudinal glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Usually the critical shear crack in RC beams without stirrups develops through the theoretical compression strut reducing the shear strength following the shear failure. The main parameter affecting the crack pattern and the shear strength of the beams is the shear slenderness. However, the test results presented in the paper indicated the new arching effect due to the bond losing between the GFRP flexural reinforcement and concrete. This failure mode revealed unexpected critical crack pattern and failure mode. The research of concrete beams flexurally reinforced with GFRP bars without stirrups indicated two failure modes: typical shear-compression and a new one leading by the bond losing between the ordinary reinforcement and concrete.

Roughened Surface

Effects of different surface textures on the interface shear strength, interface slip, and failure modes of the concrete-to-concrete bond are examined through finite element numerical model and experimental methods in the presence of the horizontal load with ‘push-off’ technique under different normal stresses. Three different surface textures are considered; smooth, indented, and transversely roughened to finish the top surfaces of the concrete bases. In the three-dimensional modeling via the ABAQUS solver, the Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) is used to simulate the interface shear failure. It is observed that the interface shear strength increases with the applied normal stress. The transversely roughened surface achieves the highest interface shear strength compared with those finished with the indented and smooth approaches. The smooth and indented surfaces are controlled by the adhesive failure mode while the transversely roughened surface is dominated by the cohesive failure mode. Also, it is observed that the CZM approach can accurately model the interface shear failure with 3–29% differences between the modeled and the experimental test findings.

Abstract Schottky diodes are semiconductor switching devices with low forward voltage drops and very fast switching speeds. This paper provides an overview of the common failure modes in Schottky diodes and corresponding failure mechanisms associated with each failure mode. Results of material level evaluation on diodes and packages as well as manufacturing and assembly processes are analyzed to identify a set of possible failure sites with associated failure modes, mechanisms, and causes. A case study is then presented to illustrate the application of a systematic FMMEA methodology to the analysis of a specific failure in a Schottky diode package.

<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>

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.

The fire remains one of the serious potential risks to most buildings and structures, as recently it’s been witnessed in Paris’ historic Notre Dame Cathedral and London’s Grenfell Tower. Concrete and masonry construction materials suffer physiochemical changes and mechanical damage caused by heating that is usually confined to the outer surface but can eventually compromise their load-bearing capacity. FRCM systems could provide when applied, supplemental fire insulation on pre-existing structural members, but there is a lack of knowledge about their properties in those conditions. This experimental work, thus, aims to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of carbon-FRCM and basalt-FRCM composites bonded to masonry substrate after high temperature exposure. Temperatures of 100 °C, 300 °C and 500 °C over a period of three hours were used to investigate the degradation of their mechanical properties. Single lap shear bond tests were carried out to evaluate the bond-slip response and failure modes. For all the tested temperatures higher peak stresses were measured for carbon-FRCM composite than basalt ones. Furthermore, low-density basalt-FRCM composite showed higher peak stresses and lower global slips up to 300 °C than high-density one. Carbon-FRCM composite failure mode was not effected by temperature. High-density basalt-FRCM composite showed a change in failure mode between 300 °C and 500 °C.

This paper mainly focused on the seismic performance and shear calculation method of steel reinforced high-strength concrete (SRHC) columns with rectangular helical hoops. An experimental investigation was performed in this paper. Eleven SRHC columns with rectangular helical hoops and one with ordinary hoops were constructed at the laboratory of Guangxi university. The failure modes, hysteresis loops, envelope curves, characteristic loads and displacements and cumulative damage analysis are presented and investigated. It can be seen from the test results that the failure modes of SRHC columns can be divided into three types with the shear span ratio increased, namely, shear baroclinic failure mode, flexure-shear failure mode and flexure failure mode. In addition, the specimens with rectangular helical hoops have plumper hysteretic loops. Shear span ratio is the main influencing factor of characteristic load; the axial compression ratio and concrete strength have less influence on characteristic load, while stirrup ratio has little effect on the characteristic load. Finally, a calculation method for shear capacity of SRHC columns under shear baroclinic failure and flexure-shear failure mode is proposed.

Based on the links among various shear failure modes and the unified model for beam-like shear and symmetrical punching previously proposed, a new approach is presented to allow for the effect of column rectangularity on the shear capacities of members in general shear, which includes punching and beam-like shear as two particular extremes. In succeeded regression analysis, linear metric form is selected out of practical concern, and a lower-bound design equation is finally developed that can not only measure the influence of this variable on members in general shear, but can give a clear physical explanation to the measurement, as is absent in certain codes.

To study the failure mechanism and failure mode of jointed rock under compressive-shear, many rock-like material specimens containing non-coplanar joints were made and a series of experiments were carried out. In the experiments, mica sheets were used as joint fillings, cement mortar was selected as rock-like material. Joints were made by inserting the mica sheet in cement mortar before initial setting. Mica sheets were left down as joint fillings. The results of experiments show that the dip angles of major joint have important influence on the failure mode of specimens. And the emerging position of wing cracks which exist in the prophase of specimens failure process changes with the dip angle. The shear strength of specimens has an important relationship with the dip angle of major joints. The smallest shear strength happens in the specimen with a joint angle of 15°, while the biggest value happens in 60°.

Steel Columns

The dynamic response and failure mode of light-weight steel columns under blast loads were studied in this paper by using nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) software ANSYS/ LS-DYNA, aiming to develop the degree and modes of the excessive plastic deformation during failures of the columns under diverse parameters. The damaged columns with initial blast-induced deformation may evidently influence vertical stability of light-weight steel frame structures. During the numerical simulation, the element of three dimensional solid SOLID164 was used, and the strain rate effect on material strength was included in the material model with Plastic-Kinematic (MAT-03). The main parameters included in the analysis were boundary conditions, scaled distances of explosions, and the vertical compressive load ratios applied on tops of the columns. The results showed that the column with both two fixed ends was the most beneficial to resist blast shock wave, the horizontal displacement at the middle span of the columns were obviously decreasing as increasing of the scaled distances of the explosion, and the axial compression ratio only significantly influenced the column with a sliding end. The failure modes of the developed columns may be summarized as bending failure, direct shear failure, and bending shear combination failure.

Flexural Reinforcement

In this paper, behaviour of nine (09) RC beams (including two control beams) after unbonding and exposing flexural reinforcement has been studied which were intentionally designed and detailed to observe flexural and shear failure. Beams have been divided into three groups based on failure mode and unbounded and exposed reinforcement. Beams have been tested under two-point loading up to failure. Experimental results are compared in terms of beam behaviour with respect to flexural capacity and failure mode which revealed that the exposed reinforcement does not altered flexural capacity significantly and unbondedness positively influences shear strength; however, serviceability performance of beams with unbonded and exposed reinforcement is less.
