The Unloading Pull-out Test Method (UPTM) is proposed to evaluate the residual stress of existing anchorage systems and explore the actual stable state of the slope before excavation. A series of destructive pull-out tests are applied to detect the working state of the existing rock bolts. The working load and ultimate load of the existing bolts are determined by field test measurement of the P-S curve. The experimental result showed that a displacement increment of the bolts was present in the elastic stage, the elastoplastic stage, the slip stage, and the debonding stage. The working load and the ultimate load were in the elastoplastic stage and the debonding stage respectively. The working load of the bolts is closely related to the sliding deformation. The ultimate load of the bolts, however, is only related to the design parameters, slope lithology and other factors. After 20 years of natural forces acting on the bolts in the slope, their ultimate bearing capacity had a stress loss of 24.0% ~ 32.0%.

Grouted Bolts

AbstractRock bolts are one of the main measures used to reinforce unstable blocks in a rock mass. The embedment length of fully grouted bolts in the stable and competent rock stratum behind the unstable rock blocks is an important parameter in determining overall bolt length. It is required that the bolt section in the stable stratum must be longer than the critical embedment length to ensure the bolt will not slip when loaded. Several series of pull tests were carried out on fully grouted rebar bolts to evaluate the pull-out mechanics of the bolts. Bolt specimens with different embedment lengths and water/cement ratios were installed in either a concrete block of one cubic meter or in steel cylinders. Load displacement was recorded during testing. For some of the bolts loaded beyond the yield load, permanent plastic steel deformation was also recorded. Based on the test results, three types of failure mechanisms were identified, corresponding to three loading conditions: (1) pull-out below the yield strength of the bolt steel; (2) pull-out between the yield and ultimate loads, that is, during strain hardening of the steel; and (3) steel failure at the ultimate load. For failure mechanisms 2 and 3, it was found that the critical embedment length of the bolt included three components: an elastic deformation length, a plastic deformation length and a completely debonded length due to the formation of a failure cone at the borehole collar.

In order to obtain the adsorption mechanism and adsorption structures of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) ions adsorbed onto layered double hydroxides (LDH), the adsorption performance of LDH and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) intercalated LDH for REEs was investigated by batch experiments and regeneration studies. In addition to adsorption capacity, the partition coefficient (PC) was also evaluated to assess their true performance metrics. The adsorption capacity of LDH increases from 24.9 μg·g−1 to 145 μg·g−1 for Eu, and from 20.8 μg·g−1 to 124 μg·g−1 for La by intercalating EDTA in this work; and PC increases from 45.5 μg·g−1·uM−1 to 834 μg·g−1·uM−1 for Eu, and from 33.6 μg·g−1·μM−1 to 405 μg·g−1·μM−1 for La. Comparison of the data indicates that the adsorption affinity of EDTA-intercalated LDH is better than that of precursor LDH no matter whether the concept of adsorption capacity or that of the PC was used. The prepared adsorbent was characterized by XRD, SEM-EDS and FT-IR techniques. Moreover, quantum chemistry calculations were also performed using the GAUSSIAN09 program package. In this calculation, the molecular locally stable state structures were optimized by density functional theory (DFT). Both the quantum chemistry calculations and the experimental data showed that REEs ions adsorbed by EDTA-intercalated LDH are more stable than those adsorbed by precursor LDH. Furthermore, the calculation results of adsorption and desorption rates show that adsorption rates are larger for Eu(III) than for La(III), which agrees with the experimental result that Eu(III) has a higher adsorption ability under the same conditions. The LDHs synthesized in this work have a high affinity for removing REEs ions.

Relieved strains due to drilling hole in a ring sample cut from an autofrettage cylinder are measured. Measured strains are then transformed to residual stresses using calibration constants and mathematical relations of elasticity based on ASTM standard recommendations (American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM E 837-08, 2008, “Standard Test Method for Determining Residual Stresses by the Hole-Drilling Strain-Gage Method,” American Society for Testing and Materials). The hydraulic autofrettage is pressurizing a closed-end long cylinder beyond its elastic limits and subsequently removing the pressure. In contrast to three-dimensional stress state in the autofrettage tube, the stress measurement in hole drilling method is performed on a traction free surface formed from cutting the ring sample. The process of cutting the ring sample from a long autofrettaged tube is simulated using finite element method (FEM) and the redistribution of the residual stress due to the cut is discussed. Hence, transformation of the hole drilling measurements on the ring slice to the autofrettage residual stresses is revealed. The residual stresses are also predicted by variable material properties (VMP) method (Jahed, H., and Dubey, R. N., 1997, “An Axisymmetric Method of Elastic-Plastic Analysis Capable of Predicting Residual Stress Field,” Trans. ASME J. Pressure Vessel Technol., 119, pp. 264–273) using real loading and unloading behavior of the test material. Prediction results for residual hoop stress agree very well with the measurements. However, radial stress predictions are less than measured values particularly in the middle of the ring. To remove the discrepancy in radial residual stresses, the measured residual hoop stress that shows a self-balanced distribution was taken as the basis for calculating residual radial stresses using field equations of elasticity. The obtained residual stresses were improved a lot and were in good agreement with the VMP solution.

Clarifying the creep behaviour of concrete at early age not only improves the accuracy of temperature stress analysis but also contributes to prediction accuracy and control measures in cracks caused by thermal stress. However, most past researches on creep behaviour were investigated after 28 days. Currently, it is difficult to accurately perceive the creep behaviour of concrete at an early age in the test method of creep which is generally carried out. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the creep behaviour of concrete at early age and to establish a convenient test method to estimate the creep behaviour. Therefore, in this study, experiments were carried out for concrete at early age within one week. As the result of the experiments, it was shown that the creep strain is proportional to the load stress of concrete at an early age and the strain of specific creep decreases as the loaded age increases. In addition, based on the experimental results, an estimation equation for creep strain at early age was proposed. Within the scope of this experimental result, it was confirmed that the estimation equation proposed in this study accurately represented the creep behaviour of concrete at early age.

The present investigation focuses on the response of simply supported reinforced concrete rectangular-section beams with multiple openings of different sizes, numbers, and geometrical configurations. The advantages of the reinforcement concrete beams with multiple opening are mainly, practical benefit including decreasing the floor heights due to passage of the utilities through the beam rather than the passage beneath it, and constructional benefit that includes the reduction of the self-weight of structure resulting due to the reduction of the dead load that achieves economic design. To optimize beam self-weight with its ultimate resistance capacity, ten reinforced concrete beams having a length, width, and depth of 2700, 100, and 400 mm, respectively were fabricated and tested as simply supported beams under one incremental concentrated load at mid-span until failure. The design parameters were the configuration and size of openings. Three main groups categorized experimental beams comprise the same area of openings and steel reinforcement details but differ in configurations. Three different shapes of openings were considered, mainly, rectangular, parallelogram, and circular. The experimental results indicate that, the beams with circular openings more efficient than the other configurations in ultimate load capacity and beams stiffness whereas, the beams with parallelogram openings were better than the beams with rectangular openings. Commonly, it was observed that the reduction in ultimate load capacity, for beams of group I, II, and III compared to the reference solid beam ranged between (75 to 93%), (65 to 93%), and (70 to 79%) respectively.

Microstructure Effect

The effect of transformation-induced microscopic residual stress on fatigue crack propagation behaviour of ferrite-martensite lamellar steel was discussed. Fatigue tests of prestrained and non-prestrained specimens were performed. Inflections and branches at ferrite-martensite boundaries were observed in the non-prestrained specimens. On the other hand, less inflections and branches were found in the prestrained specimens. The experimental results showed that the transformation induced microscopic residual stress has influence on the fatigue crack propagation behaviour. To estimate the microscopic residual stress distribution, a numerical simulation of microscopic residual stress induced by martensitic transformation was performed. The simulation showed that compressive residual stress was generated in martensite layer, and the result agree with the experimental result that inflections and branches were observed at ferrite-martensite boundaries. In addition, the change in the microscopic residual stress distribution by prestraining was also calculated to show the compressive residual stress changed to tensile by prestraining. This also agree with the experimental result of the observation of fatigue crack path.
