Glass fibre reinforcement polymers (GFRP) application for reinforcement of wood, concrete and steel member is relatively becoming more variety in construction applications. Although it is possible to build large monolithic structures with composite materials, there are still several reasons for the structure to fail. One of the main reasons that contribute to this failure is the connection performance due to its function in carrying load across the structure. Thus having the right fundamental data for connection design purposes according to the specific and technological upgraded materials is very important. One of the basic methodologies in gaining the design data is through experimental double shear test which can be verified by European Yield Model (EYM) theory. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the load carrying capacity of double shear strength behaviour connections made of Kempas timber species as the main member and dowelled by the GFRP or the Kempas rod. The specimens were tested under the shear load with 2mm/min rate and tested until failure. From the experiment, it was found that the average ultimate shear strength of member dowelled with GFRP rod is 21.36% higher compared to one doweled with Kempas rod. According to mode of failure between two types of bolt, GFRP dowelled performs well (Mode I& IV) rather than Kempas dowelled (Mode IV).

There is a common phenomenon of shear failure in RCC beams, especially in old buildings and bridges. Any possible strengthening of such beams is needed to be explored that could strengthen and make them fit for serviceable conditions. The present research has been made to determine the performance of predamaged beams strengthened with three-layered wire mesh polymer-modified ferrocement (PMF) with 15% styrene-butadiene-rubber latex (SBR) polymer. Forty-eight shear-designed and shear-deficient real-size beams were used in this experimental work. Ultimate shear load-carrying capacity of control beams was found at two different shear-span (a/d) ratios 1 and 3. The sets of remaining beams were loaded with different predetermined damage levels of 45%, 75%, and 95% of the ultimate load values and then strengthened with 20 mm thick PMF. The strengthened beams were then again tested for ultimate load-carrying capacity by conducting the shear load test at a/d = 1 and 3. As a result, the PMF-strengthened beams showed restoration and enhancement of ultimate shear load-carrying capacity by 5.90% to 12.03%. The ductility of strengthened beams was improved, and hence, the corresponding deflections were prolonged. On the other hand, the cracking pattern of PMF-strengthened beams was also improved remarkably.

This report provides experimental data on the development of PLFP for building construction. An innovative concept was used in the design of this system and the use of lightweight foamed concrete was discussed. Preliminary result of PLFP with double shear truss connectors was analysed and presented. PLFP was tested to determine its ultimate load carrying capacity under axial loading. Ultimate load carrying capacity, load deflection profile, surface strains and crack pattern were recorded and analysed. Test results were compared with calculated values based on classical formulas that developed by previous researchers and experimental data from previous researchers on its compositeness in between wythes. Results shown that PLFP with double shear truss connectors achieved higher compositeness in between wythes and have adequate ultimate load carrying capacity.

The effect of the film shape on the load carrying capacity of a hydrodynamically lubricated bearing has not been considered an important factor in the past. Flat-faced tapered bearing and the Raileigh’s step bearing of constant film thickness have been the primary forms of film shapes for slider bearing studies and design data developments. This article, by the computer aided numerical solution of the Reynolds equation for two dimensional incompressible lubricant flow, investigates hydrodynamically lubricated slider bearings having different film shapes and studies the effect of the film shape on the performance characteristics of finite bearings; and it shows that optimized bearing with film shapes having descending slope toward the trailing edge of the bearing has considerably higher load carrying capacity than the optimized flat-faced tapered bearing of the same properties. For example the truncated cycloidal film shape yields 26.3 percent higher load carrying capacity for Lz/Lx = 1 size ratio, and 44 percent higher for Lz/Lx = 1/2. The article then presents charts for the optimum designs of finite slider bearings having tapered, exponential, catenoidal, polynomial, and truncated-cycloidal film shapes, and illustrates their use in numerical bearing design examples. These charts also furnish information on flow rate, side leakage, temperature rise, coefficient of friction, and friction power loss in optimum bearings. Appended to the article are analytical solutions for infinitely wide bearings with optimum bearing characteristics. The computer aided numerical solution of the Reynolds equation in most general form is presented by which finite or infinitely wide hydrodynamically or hydrostatically lubricated bearings, externally pressurized or not, can be studied. A digital computer program is made available.

This paper presents the results of an investigation on the force transfer mechanism in an embedded column base of a composite structure. In the experimental program, eighteen push-out specimens were tested. The factors influencing the mechanism of force transfer were the amount of confining reinforcement, compressive strength of concrete, and diameter of stud connectors. The results of experiment indicated that force transfer could be characterized into two stages, and the factors governing each stage were identified. The first stage was governed by the bond strength between the steel column base and the concrete. The second stage begun after chemical debonding and was governed by the shear strength of stud connectors as well as the frictional strength between the steel and the concrete. Based on the experimental results, the equations to estimate the bond strength, the friction strength, and the shear strength of stud connectors were proposed. The load carrying capacity of an embedded steel column base could be predicted by taking the sum of the shear strength of stud connectors and the friction strength. The predicted load carrying capacity was found to agree well with the experimental results over various range of concrete stress.

The article presents the results of experimental- and analytical investigations of the behaviour and the load-carrying capacity of deep beams with openings (DBO) and without openings (DB) made of hybrid steel-polypropylene fibre-reinforced high-performance concrete (HFRHPC) subjected to three-point bending tests. Six deep beams 100 mm × 500 mm × 1000 mm were tested with a gradually increasing load until failure. All the specimens were tested in the same simply supported conditions. The research focused on the quantity and kind of concrete reinforcement. The deep beams with steel and polypropylene (PP) fibres were characterised by variously arranged steel bar reinforcement: vertically, horizontally, orthogonally and diagonally. The DB1, DBO1 deep beams were conventionally made with steel rod reinforcement but without fibres. The steel wire mesh reinforcement was replaced by fibre reinforcement of varying volume percentages in the remaining deep beams. The influence of the hybrid fibre content in the specimens was studied by marking the development and propagation of cracks, by recording the failure modes, and by monitoring the deflections at the bottom of the deep beam, at the mid-span and at the support. Three-dimensional measurements of strain and displacement of the deep beams without openings (DB) were performed by the non-contact optical 3D deformation measuring system ARAMIS. The experimental results were compared with the studied methods of predicting the shear strength of deep beams reinforced with hybrid fibre. The conducted study demonstrates that hybrid fibres as web reinforcement have a favourable impact on deep beam crack widths and raise the load carrying capacity of deep beams with openings.

Originating from the problem facing offshore foundation engineering, the present study is focused on using electrokinetics to enhance the load-carrying capacity of skirted foundations embedded in soft marine deposits. An experimental study was carried out in a model tank having dimensions of 150 cm × 75 cm × 70 cm. The experiments were conducted on the Welland River sediment mixed with a high salinity solution that simulates the composition of seawater. A steel cylinder of 320 mm in diameter was embedded in the sediment to represent a skirted foundation. Electrodes were installed around the steel cylinder, and a voltage of 5.2 V was applied over 28 days with polarity reversal. The load-carrying capacity of the steel cylinder and the undrained shear strength of the adjacent soil were measured after the electrokinetic treatment. The effect of electrokinetics is evaluated by comparing a series of test results performed on the untreated and treated soil. The load-carrying capacity of the steel cylinder and the undrained shear strength of the adjacent soil increased up to three times after treatment. The study also shows that electrokinetics can regain and further enhance the load carrying capacity of the embedded skirted foundation model after failure. With further development, the technology has the potential to be applied in offshore engineering practice to increase the load-carrying capacity of skirted foundations installed in soft clayey sediments.Key words: electrokinetics, skirted foundations, soft marine clay, load-carrying capacity, soil improvement.

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) is a type of high-performance fibre-reinforced cementitious composite with good ductility and excellent crack control ability. It has attracted increasing attention as a structural repair material in severely corrosive environments. However, the strength improvement is limited when ECC is used alone for shear strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) members, although its shear capacity is much higher than that of other brittle cementitious materials such as cement mortar. This study proposes a novel shear strengthening method for RC beams with both high load-carrying capacity and good durability through the combination of high-strength steel wire and an ECC layer. The shear behaviours of the beams were tested under static loading. The test results showed that the shear strength and the ultimate displacement were significantly improved through shear strengthening. A large number of fine cracks appeared on the ECC layer before the failure of the beams. The load-carrying capacity was reduced by pre-damage owing to the important role of the shear resistance of the concrete with respect to the total shear capacity. The shear strength of the strengthened beams cannot be accurately predicted by the current design code owing to the ignorance of the shear resistance of ECC.
