The enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) method has been investigated to improve the hydro-mechanical properties of natural soil deposits. This study was conducted to explore the stiffness evolution during various stress scenarios. First, the optimal concentration of urea, CaCl₂, and urease for the maximum efficiency of calcite precipitation was identified. The results show that the optimal recipe is 0.5 g/L and 0.9 g/L of urease for 0.5 M CaCl₂ and 1 M CaCl₂ solutions with a urea-CaCl₂ molar ratio of 1.5. The shear stiffness of EICP-treated sands remains constant up to debonding stresses, and further loading induces the reduction of S-wave velocity. It was also found that the debonding stress at which stiffness loss occurs depends on the void ratio, not on cementation solution. Repeated loading-unloading deteriorates the bonding quality, thereby reducing the debonding stress. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray images reveal that higher concentrations of CaCl₂ solution facilitate heterogeneous nucleation to form larger CaCO₃ nodules and 11-12 % of CaCO₃ forms at the interparticle contact as the main contributor to the evolution of shear stiffness.

Geotechnical materials such as silt, fine sand, or coarse granular soils may be unstable under undrained shearing or during rainfall infiltration starting an unsaturated state. Some researches are available describing the instability of coarse granular soils in drained or undrained conditions. However, there is a need to investigate the instability mechanism of unsaturated silty soil considering the effect of degree of compaction and net confining stress under partially and fully drained conditions. The specimens in the current study are compacted at 65%, 75%, & 85% degree of compaction, confined at pressures of 60, 80 & 120 kPa, and tested in partially and fully drained conditions. The tests have been performed in two steps. In Step-I, the specimens were sheared in constant water content conditions (a type of partially drained test) to the maximum shear stress. In Step-II, shearing was carried in constant suction conditions (a type of fully undrained test) by keeping shear stress constant. At the start of Step-II, PWP was increased in steps to decrease matric suction (which was then kept constant) and start water infiltration. The test results showed that soil instability is affected much by variation in the degree of compaction and confining stresses. It is also observed that loose and medium dense soils are vulnerable to pre-failure instability i.e., instability occurs before reaching the failure state, whereas, instability in dense soils instigates together with the failure i.e., failure line (FL) and instability line (IL) are found to be unique.

This paper discussed and analyzed the interfacial stress distribution characteristic of adjacent cracks in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plate strengthened concrete slabs. One un-strengthened concrete test beam and four CFRP plate-strengthened concrete test beams were designed to carry out four-point flexural tests. The test data shows that the interfacial shear stress between the interface of CFRP plate and concrete can effectively reduce the crack shrinkage of the tensile concrete and reduces the width of crack. The maximum main crack flexural height in pure bending section of the strengthened specimen is smaller than that of the un-strengthened specimen, the CFRP plate improves the rigidity of specimens without brittle failure. The average ultimate bearing capacity of the CFRP-strengthened specimens was increased by 64.3% compared to that without CFRP-strengthen. This indicites that CFRP enhancement measures can effectively improve the ultimate bearing capacity and delay the occurrence of debonding damage. Based on the derivation of mechanical analysis model, the calculation formula of interfacial shear stress between adjacent cracks is proposed. The distributions characteristics of interfacial shear stress between certain crack widths were given. In the intermediate cracking region of pure bending sections, the length of the interfacial softening near the mid-span cracking position gradually increases as the load increases. The CFRP-concrete interface debonding capacity with the larger adjacent crack spacing is lower than that with the smaller adjacent crack spacing. The theoretical calculation results of interfacial bonding shear stress between adjacent cracks have good agreement with the experimental results. The interfacial debonding failure between adjacent cracks in the intermediate cracking region was mainly caused by the root of the main crack. The larger the spacing between adjacent cracks exists, the easier the interfacial debonding failure occurs.

구조설계기준에서, 슬래브의 최대 펀칭전단응력은 연직하중에 의한 직접전단과 불균형모멘트에 의한 편심전단의 조합응력으로 규정하고 있다. 이것은 슬래브에 작용하는 펀칭전단응력에 불균형모멘트의 영향을 반영한 것이다. 그러나 부재의 저항성능 즉 펀칭전단강도에는 슬래브의 불균형모멘트강도 영향을 전혀 고려하고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위하여 펀칭전단-불균형모멘트 상관모델을 제시하고 이를 2차원으로 표현하였다. 상관모델을 통하여, 슬래브의 펀칭전단강도를 결정하는데 있어 불균형 모멘트강도를 어떻게 반영할 것인지에 대한 방안을 제시하였으며 전단보강재가 불균형모멘트강도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 이를 구조설계에 반영하기 위한 유효폭확대계수의 적용을 제안하였다.

A Reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall system with coupling beams has been known as one of the most promising structural systems for high-rise buildings. However, significantly large flexural and/or shear stress demands induced in the coupling beams require special reinforcement details to avoid their undesirable brittle failure. In order to solve this problem, one of promising candidates is frictional hysteretic energy dissipating devices (HEDDs) as an alternative to the coupling beams. The introduction of frictional HEDDs into a RC shear wall system increases energy dissipation capacity and maintains the frame action after their yielding. This paper investigates the strength demands (specifically yield strength levels) with a maximum allowable ductility of frictional HEDDs based on comparative non-linear time-history analyses of a prototype RC shear wall system with traditional RC coupling beams and frictional HEDDs. Analysis results show that the RC shear wall systems coupled by frictional HEDDs with more than 50% yield strength of the RC coupling beams present better seismic performance compared to the RC shear wall systems with traditional RC coupling beams. This is due to the increased seismic energy dissipation capacity of the frictional HEDD. Also, it is found from the analysis results that the maximum allowable ductility demand of a frictional HEDD should increase as its yield strength decreases.

Finite element analysis is peformed about the crack propagation in half-space due to sliding contact. The analysis is based on linear elastic fracture mechanics and stress intensity factor concept. The crack location is fixed and the friction coefficient between asperity and half-space is varied to analyze the effect of surface friction on stress Intensity factor for horizontal crack. The crack propagation direction is predicted based on the maximum range of shear and tensile stress intensity factor.

작은 입자 사이에 고립된 상태로 존재하는 굵은 입자는 비록 소량일지라도 흙의 전단거동에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이와같이 소량의 굵은 자갈이 포함된 지반의 전단특성을 평가할 경우, 실내시험에 사용되는 자갈의 크기와 공시체의 직경이 전단거동에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 모래 입자 사이에 흩어져 있는 자갈의 크기와 공시체의 직경을 달리하면서 모래-자갈 혼합토의 전단특성을 연구하였다. 크기가 7, 12, 15, 18, 22mm인 다섯 종류의 자갈을 반복 사용하였으며, 각층 높이의 중간부분에 자갈을 넣고 다음 층을 쌓아 다지는 방식으로 조밀한 공시체를 완성하였다. 층당 들어가는 자갈의 크기에 따라 습윤모래를 5층 또는 10층으로 나누어 다져 직경 5cm(높이 10cm) 및 10cm(높이 20cm)인 공시체를 제작하였다. 자갈의 중량비는 3%로 동일하며 세 종류의 구속압으로 압밀시킨 다음, 비배수 삼축압축시험을 실시하였다. 직경 10cm인 공시체에서 얻은 최대축차응력은 직경 5cm인 공시체의 최대축차응력보다 자갈이 없는 경우 평균 30% 정도 높았으며, 자갈이 포함된 경우 최대 90%까지 증가하였다. 7mm와 12mm 자갈이 들어간 경우, 직경이 10cm인 공시체는 자갈의 크기에 관계없이 모두 자갈이 없는 경우보다 최대축차응력이 증가하였으나, 직경이 5cm인 공시체는 자갈의 크기에 따라 최대축차응력이 자갈이 없는 경우보다 증가하거나(7mm 자갈이 들어간 공시체) 또는 감소하였다(12mm 자갈이 들어간 공시체). 공시체 직경과 자갈의 크기가 비배수 전단거동에 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 자갈과 공시체 직경의 비 1/5을 기준으로 자갈이 포함된 공시체의 최대축차응력이 자갈이 없는 경우보다 증가 또는 감소하였다.

This paper discusses the failure mode of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with composite materials based on six experimental set-ups to determine the FRP-to-concrete bond strength. Interfacial bond behavior between concrete and CFRP plates was discussed. Shear test were performed with different concrete compressive strengths (21 MPa and 28 MPa) and different bonding length (100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, and 250 mm). Shear test results indicate that the effective bond length (the bond length beyond which the ultimate load does not increase) was estimated as $196{\sim}204\;mm$ through linear regression analysis. Failure mode of specimens occurred due to debonding between concrete and CFRP plates. Maximum bond stress is calculated as about $3.0{\sim}3.3\;MPa$ from the relationships between bond stress and slip. Finally, the interfacial bond-slip model between CFRP plates and concrete, which is governed debonding failure, has been estimated from shear tests. Average bond stress was about $1.86{\sim}2.04\;MPa$, the volume of slip between CFRP plate and concrete was about $1.45{\sim}1.72\;mm$, and the fracture energy was found to be about $1.35{\sim}1.71\;N/mm$.

The fog screen is a device projecting the media to the aerosol flow field. As major parameters to generate dense and steady fog screen, shear stress, optical blockage ratio and SMD were obtained result through experiment. The micro droplet was generated by the piezo oscillation element, and the aerosol flow mixed with an air flow was sprayed into the vertical direction from the top of the fog screen through the 280 mm slot. For produce a dense, uniform fog screen, the shear effect, optical blockage ratio and SMD between aerosol and air curtain were measured. The minimum and maximum shear stress conditions were selected and it was confirmed that the optical transmission deviation of the aerosol flow field was small when the aerosol and air curtain flow rates were changed. When the aerosol and air curtain flow power were 18 V (1.51 m/s) and 24 V (2.55 m/s), respectively, under the condition of the minimum shear stress and laminar flow, the optical blockage ratios with the spray length were small, and it produced a most stable and high density uniform fog screen by injecting a constant of $10{\mu}m$ or less.
