Experimental Values

The mechanical properties of T-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (TCFST) short columns under axial compression after elevated temperature are investigated in this paper. A total of 30 TCFST short columns with different temperature (T), steel ratio (α), and duration of heating (t) were tested. The TCFST column was directly fabricated by welding two rectangular steel tubes together. The study mainly investigated the failure modes, the ultimate bearing capacity, the load-displacement, and the load-strain performance of the TCFST short columns. Experimental results indicate that the rectangular steel tubes of the TCFST column have deformation consistency, and the failure mode consists of local crack, drum damage, and shear failure. Additionally, the influence of high temperature on the residual bearing capacity of the TCFST is significant, e.g., a higher temperature can downgrade the ultimate bearing capacity. Finally, a finite element model (FEM) is developed to simulate the performance of the TCFST short columns under elevated temperature, and the results agree with experimental values well. Overall, this investigation can provide some guidance for future studies on damage assessment and reinforcement of the TCFST columns.

Theoretical and experimental studies on the compressive mechanical behavior of 4-harness satin weave carbon/epoxy composite laminates under in-plane loading are conducted over the temperature range of 298–473 K and the strain rate range of 0.001–1700/s in this article. The stress–strain curves of 4-harness satin weave composites are obtained at different strain rates and temperatures, and key mechanical properties of the material are determined. The deformation mechanism and failure morphology of the samples are observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs. The results show that the uniaxial compressive mechanical properties of 4-harness satin weave composites are strongly dependent on the temperature but are weakly sensitive to strain rate. The peak stress and elastic modulus of the material have the trend of decrease with the increasing of temperature, and the decreasing trend can be expressed as the functional relationship of temperature shift factor. In addition, SEM observations show that the quasi-static failure mode of 4-harness satin weave composites is shear failure along the diagonal lines of the specimens, while the dynamic failure modes of the material are multiple delaminations and longitudinal splitting, and with the increasing of temperature, its longitudinal splitting is more serious, but the delamination is relatively reduced. A constitutive model with thermomechanical coupling effects is proposed based on the experimental results and the increment theory of elastic–plastic mechanics. The experimental verification and numerical analysis show that the model is shown to be able to predict the finite deformation behavior of 4-harness satin weave composites over a wide range of temperatures.

Flaws existing in rock masses are generally unparallel and under three-dimensional stress; however, the mechanical and cracking behaviors of the specimens with two unparallel flaws under triaxial compression have been rarely studied. Therefore, this study conducted comprehensive research on the cracking and coalescence behavior and mechanical properties of specimens with two unparallel flaws under triaxial compression. Triaxial compressive tests were conducted under different confining pressures on rock-like specimens with two preexisting flaws but varying flaw geometries (with respect to the inclination angle of the two unparallel flaws, rock bridge length, and rock bridge inclination angle). Six crack types and eleven coalescence types in the bridge region were observed, and three types of failure modes (tensile failure, shear failure, and tensile-shear failure) were observed in experiments. Test results show that bridge length and bridge inclination angle have an effect on the coalescence pattern, but the influence of bridge inclination angle is larger than that of the bridge length. When the confining pressure is low, coalescence patterns and failure modes of the specimens are greatly affected by flaw geometry, but when confining pressure rose to a certain level, the influence of confining pressure is larger than the effect of flaw geometry. The peak strength of the specimens is affected by flaw geometry and confining pressure. There is a critical value for the bridge length. If the bridge length is larger than the critical value, peak strengths of the samples almost keep constant as the bridge length increases. In addition, as the bridge inclination angle increases, there is an increase in the probability of tensile cracks occurring, and with an increase in the confining pressure, the probability of the occurrence of shear cracks increases.

Rock Mechanical Properties

The key rock mechanical parameters are strength, elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, etc., which are important in reservoir development. The accurate determination of reservoir’s mechanical properties is critical to reduce drilling risk and maximize well productivity. Precisely estimating rock mechanical properties is important in drilling and well completion design, as well as crucial for hydraulic fracturing. Rocks are heterogeneous and anisotropic materials. The mechanical properties vary not only with rock types but also with measurement methods, sample geometric dimensions (sample length to diameter ratio and size), and other factors. To investigate sample scale effects on rock mechanical behaviors, unconfined compression tests were conducted on 41 different geometric dimensions of Berea sandstones; unconfined compressive strength (UCS), Young’s modulus ( E ), Poisson’s ratio ( υ ), bulk modulus ( K ), and shear modulus ( G ) were obtained and compared. The results indicate that sample geometry can significantly affect rock mechanical properties: (1) UCS decreases with the increase of length to diameter ratio (LDR), and the UCS standardize factor is between 0.71 and 1.17, which means -30% to +20% variation of UCS with LDR changing from 1 to 6.7. The test results show UCS exhibits positive relationship with sample size. (2) Young’s modulus slightly increases with LDR increases, while Poisson’s ratio decreases with the increase of LDR. For the tested Berea sandstones, Poisson’s ratio standardizing factor is between 0.57 and 1.11. (3) Bulk modulus of Berea sandstone samples decreases with the increase of LDR, while shear modulus increases with LDR increases. Both bulk modulus and shear modulus increase with the increase of sample size. (4) The principal failure modes were analyzed. The failure modes of the tested Berea sandstones are axial splitting and shear failure. Stocky samples ( LDR < 2 ) tend to go axial splitting, while slender samples ( LDR > 2 ) tend to show shear failure.

Flaws existing in rock mass are one of the main factors resulting in the instability of rock mass. Epoxy resin is often used to reinforce fractured rock mass. However, few researches focused on mechanical properties of the specimens with a resin-infilled flaw under triaxial compression. Therefore, in this research, epoxy resin was selected as the grouting material, and triaxial compression tests were conducted on the rock-like specimens with a grout-infilled flaw having different geometries. This study draws some new conclusions. The high confining pressure suppresses the generation of tensile cracks, and the failure mode changes from tensile-shear failure to shear failure as the confining pressure increases. Grouting with epoxy resin leads to the improvement of peak strengths of the specimens under triaxial compression. The reinforcement effect of epoxy resin is better for the specimens having a large flaw length and those under a relatively low confining pressure. Grouting with epoxy resin reduces the internal friction angle of the samples but improves their cohesion. This research may provide some useful insights for understanding the mechanical behaviors of grouted rock masses.

Low frequency cyclic horizontal load experiments have been carried out on the sandwich insulation (ECW-8) and ordinary (ECW-1) multi-ribbed composite wallboard. Mechanical properties of two specimens such as bearing capacity, energy dissipation and failure modes were studied. Two specimens are both shear failure. The cracking load of insulation wallboard increases by 29.1% than ordinary wallboard. The initial stiffness of insulation wallboard is 1.38 times of ordinary wallboard. The ultimate bearing capacity and energy dissipation performance has little difference between them.

This study investigated the mechanical properties of High Strength Concrete filled steel tubular short columns (HSCFSTSC) with length to diameter ratio (L/D) of 3.5.The strength of concrete used to fill the steel tubular columns ranged from 54MPa to 116MPa. The test results showed that using a steel tube as confinement can significantly improve the ductility and compressive strength of core concrete. The magnitude of compressive strength increase of core concrete was directly proportional to the Confinement Index, , and the extent of improvement of the ductility increases as the  increases. For thoroughly improving the ductility of core concrete, the Confinement Index  should be equal or larger than 0.48. The formula used to calculate the load bearing capacity of HSCFSTSC was given out.

In this research, the conventional triaxial compression experiments for intact red sandstone specimens and the specimens with a single persistent joint at different inclination angles, i.e., 0°, 30°, 45°, and 90°, were conducted at first. Based on the results of the conventional tests, the effects of the confining pressure and the joint inclination angle on the mechanical properties including deformation behavior and strength parameters were summarized and analyzed, respectively. We find that the strength and deformation of jointed red sandstone are enlarged due to the increment of confining pressure, and the mechanical parameters of specimens show a U-shaped development with the rise of the joint angle. Besides, to investigate the effects of the pore pressure on seepage characteristics of rocks with joint angles at 0°, 45°, and 90°, a series of triaxial compression drainage tests on the jointed red sandstone were performed. The results show that the pore pressure has a weakening effect on the strength of jointed specimens, which can reduce the strengthening effect induced by confining pressure. Meanwhile, the tested specimens mostly present shear failure modes. As a result, the mechanical responses, seepage characteristics, and cracking modes in red sandstone containing a single persistent joint under triaxial compression are revealed.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) possesses both good shape stability and the possible two-way force transfer ability due to its crosswise lamination. However, the transverse layers in CLT are prone to rolling shear failure under an out-of-plane load. An innovative multi-layer composite laminated panel (CLP) was developed by combining structural composite lumber (SCL) and dimension lumber to overcome the rolling shear failure while maintaining high mechanical performance and aesthetic appearance of natural wood. The mechanical properties of 5-layer CLP consisted of laminated strand lumber (LSL) and dimension lumber with different layups were evaluated by both static and modal tests. The results showed that the shear resistance, bending stiffness and moment resistance of CLP were up to 143%, 43% and 87% higher than their counterparts of regular CLT, respectively. The failure modes observed in both shear and bending tests indicated that the use of LSL in transverse layers could eliminate the potential rolling shear failure in CLT. With the lamination properties from components tests as inputs, the validity of shear analogy method was assessed by test results. The mechanical properties can be well predicted by shear analogy method except for the bending moment resistance of CLP and CLT with either rolling failure in the cross layer or tension failure in the bottom layer.
