Connectors are the key element in steel and concrete composite structure. To research and develop new type connector for steel and concrete composite structure, a new type connector, corrugated rib connector, was developed. The base mechanical properties of this connector were tested by push-out tests. The test results shown the mechanical properties of this connector are excellent. Comparing to the push-out test results of perfobond rib connector, the shear strength of corrugated rib connector increased 24 percent than that of the perfobond rib connector, and the shear stiffness of corrugated rib connector is larger than that of the perfobond rib connector, Especially the ductility of corrugated rib connector is 1.9 times that of the perfobond rib connector when they reach the ultimate load. Based on the load-slip relation of corrugated rib connector by push-out tests, relative stiffness expressions under normal service state and ultimate bearing capacity state are obtained.

<p>To accomplish rapid installation and replaceability, a new type of connector for new fully assembled steel-concrete composite beams was studied. The connectors are fixed on the C-shaped channels of the prefabricated floor slab. The load transfer along the interface of the precast floor slab and the steel beam is primarily achieved through the friction between the beam flange and the channels. Push-out tests were conducted to study the mechanical properties of new composite beam. The effects of different C-shaped channel types, repeated loading and number of connectors were investigated. Test results showed that all the connectors exhibited satisfactory performance. When the section height of C-shaped channel is small, the restraining effect on the connector is more remarkable. The shear strength and shear stiffness of the connectors can be improved by reloading. The formulas for calculating the shear strength derived agree well with the experimental results.</p>

<p>In order to solve the construction problem of perforating rebars’ precise location and it’s getting through the circular holes for the the conventional perfobond connector, a new type of perfobond connector with boot shaped slots was proposed. This new type perfobond connector has the advantage of convenient construction and pricise location. Three groups of push-out tests with nine specimens were carried out to study the shear capacity of the new type perfobond connector. The effect of the number and the spacing of boot shaped slots on failure modes, shear capacity, peak slip and shear stiffness were mainly studied. The test results show that the new type of perfobond connector with boot shaped slots has a high shear capacity and a good ductility, it could be widely applied on the connection between the steel and the concrete structures.</p>

Considering the advantages of energy conservation and reducing the construction skill requirement of the workers, a new type of interlocking hollow block using recycled aggregates concrete (IHB-RAC) with the compressive strength up to 10 Mpa was proposed, which could help improve more than 56% of the construction efficiency compared to commonly used concrete hollow blocks. In order to study the mechanical properties and promote the application of this new type block in building engineering, the masonries considering different strengths of mortar and the concrete used in the grouting holes were designed, and the corresponding compressive and shear strength, as well as the failure mode of the masonries were studied according to the test results. Then, experimental results were compared with the calculated values obtained from Chinese code GB50003-2011 to check the suitability of the standards. In order to make an accurate prediction of the compressive strength of the masonry, modifying coefficients were suggested considering the positive contributions of the connecting keys. In addition, according to the test results, an appropriate calculation method for accurately predicting the shear strength of the grouted IHB-RAC masonry was proposed by separately considering the effort of the mortar and the grouting hole concrete.

Push-out tests were conducted to study the performance of shear studs in composite beams with profiled sheeting. All stud specimens were through-deck welded on steel beams. Three variables, i.e. the presence of profiled sheeting, the direction of the steel sheeting and the loading patterns were studied. Comparison between test results and predictions according to design specifications were also proposed. The research shows that, direction of the profiled steel sheeting has little influence on the ultimate load with shank shearing failure; shear failure of concrete rib decreases the shear strength; and the shear resistance of a parallel concrete rib is about twice of a transverse one.

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.

This study provided the test results on the mechanical properties of double layer concrete paving blocks (CPBs) obtained by replacing portions of the conventional aggregate with waste tyre rubber. The mechanical properties discussed in this paper were compressive and flexural strength. Results indicated that the density of double layer CPBs containing rubber was lower than that of conventional CPB. The decrease was found to be proportional with the waste tyre rubber content. Due to the low strength and stiffness of waste tyre rubber particle, the compressive and flexural strength of double layer CPBs containing rubber appeared to be lower than that of conventional CPB.

Sandwich-like composites based on clays and textiles are extensively applied in various fields, including civil engineering and environmental protection. In this paper, the synthesis of a new type of composite with embedded bentonite particles within a non-woven polyester matrix is presented. The synthesized composite has improved mechanical properties compared to the corresponding non-woven matrix. Although more than two-times thinner, the synthesized composite showed mechanical properties similar to those of a commercial composite chosen for comparison. Sorption test results confirmed that the contribution of the textile component to the sorption of aqueous Cu(II) ions by the composite was negligible. The sorption of aqueous Cu(II) ions on the synthesized composite was best-fitted using the Langmuir model. The presented study confirmed that the loss of bentonite particles from the composite can be eliminated using the suggested synthesis method.

The objective of this work is to investigate the stimulation effect of the addition of alkali on the fly ash and slag for stabilizing dredged silt. Based on the test results, a viable alternative for the final disposal of dredged silt as subgrade construction materials were proposed. For this purpose, several mixtures of dredged silt-fly ash-slag and alkali were prepared and stabilized/solidified. In this system, fly ash and slag were used as hardening agents (solidified materials) of dredged silt and alkali was used as activator of fly ash and slag. The shear strength of the mixture was tested by several direct shear tests. Furthermore, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to determine the hydration products of the system. The specimens were tested in order to determine the shear strength changes versus hydration time and the alkali content. It is indicated that mechanical properties of solidified silt are improved significantly by addition of fly ash and slag stimulated by alkali.

Mechanical properties of cemented reticulate red clay were studied in present research. Test results show that: (1) shear strength of cemented reticulate red clay increase exponentially as the increasing of cement content; (2) shear strength of cemented reticulate red clay decrease polynomially as the increasing of water content; (3) mechanical properties of cemented reticulate red clay affected significantly by curing time and curing confined pressure. In order to study viscous properties of cemented reticulate red clay, cemented reticulate red clay specimens were compressed in triaxial chamber at different shear rate. Results of the compression tests show that it is obvious that the axial strain-deviator stress relationship of cemented reticulate red clay affects by the strain rate.
