For rock materials, a transversely isotropic failure criterion established through the extended Lade-Duncan failure criterion incorporating an anisotropic state scalar parameter, which is a joint invariant of deviatoric microstructure fabric tensor and normalized deviatoric stress tensor, is verified with the results of triaxial compressive data on Tournemire shale. For torsional shear mode with $0{\leq}b{\leq}0.75$, rock shear strengths decrease with ${\alpha}$ increasing until the rock shear strength approaches minimum value at ${\alpha}{\approx}40^{\circ}$, and after this point, the rock shear strengths increase as ${\alpha}$ increases further. For the torsional shear mode with b > 0.75, rock shear strengths are almost constant for ${\alpha}{\leq}40^{\circ}$, but it increases with increase in ${\alpha}$ afterwards. The rock shear strength variation against ${\alpha}$ agrees with shear strength changing tendency of heavily OCR natural London Clays tested before. Prediction results show that the transversely isotropic failure criterion proposed in the paper is reasonable.

Existing strut-and-tie model cannot be applied to analysis of slender beams without shear reinforcement because shear transfer mechanism is not formed. In the present study, a new strut-and-tie model with rigid joint was developed. Basically, concrete strut is modeled as a frame element which can transfer shear force (or moment) as well as axial force. Employing Rankine failure criterion, failure strength due to shear-tension and shear-compression developed in compressive concrete strut was defined. For verification, various test specimens were analyzed and the results were compared with tests. The proposed strut-and-tie model predicted shear strength and failure displacement with reasonable precision, addressing the design parameters such as shear reinforcement, concrete compressive strength, and shear span ratio.

The strength theory of concrete is significant to structure design and nonlinear finite element analysis of concrete structures because concrete utilized in engineering is usually subject to the action of multi-axial stress. Experimental results have revealed that lightweight aggregate (LWA) concrete exhibits plastic flow plateau under high compressive stress and most of the lightweight aggregates are crushed at this stage. For the purpose of safety, therefore, in the practical application the strength of LWA concrete at the plastic flow plateau stage should be regarded as the ultimate strength under multi-axial compressive stress state. With consideration of the strength criterion, the ultimate strength surface of LWA concrete under multi-axial stress intersects with the hydrostatic stress axis at two different points, which is completely different from that of the normal weight concrete as that the ultimate strength surface is open-ended. As a result, the strength criteria aimed at normal weight concrete do not fit LWA concrete. In the present paper, a multi-axial strength criterion for LWA concrete is proposed based on the Unified Twin-Shear Strength (UTSS) theory developed by Prof Yu (Yu et al. 1992), which takes into account the above strength characteristics of LWA under high compressive stress level. In this strength criterion model, the tensile and compressive meridians as well as the ultimate strength envelopes in deviatoric plane under different hydrostatic stress are established just in terms of a few characteristic stress states, i.e., the uniaxial tensile strength $f_t$, the uniaxial compressive strength $f_c$, and the equibiaxial compressive $f_{bc}$. The developed model was confirmed to agree well with experimental data under different stress ratios of LWA concrete.

This paper presents an investigation on seismic behavior of out-of-code Q690 circular high-strength concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular (HCFTST) columns made up of high-strength (HS) steel tubes (yield strength $f_y{\geq}690MPa$). Eight Q690 circular HCFTST columns with various diameter-to-thickness (D/t) ratios, concrete cylinder compressive strengths ($f_c$) and axial compression ratios (n) were tested under the constant axial loading and reversed cyclic lateral loading. The obtained lateral load-displacement hysteretic curves, energy dissipation, skeleton curves and ductility, and stiffness degradation were analyzed in detail to reflect the influences of tested parameters. Subsequently, a simplified shear strength model was derived and validated by the test results. Finally, a finite element analysis (FEA) model incorporating a stress triaxiality dependent fracture criterion was established to simulate the seismic behavior. The systematic investigation indicates the following: compared to the D/t ratio and axial compression ratio, improving the concrete compressive strength (e.g., the HS thin-walled steel tube filled with HS concrete) had a slight influence on the ductility but an obvious enhancement of energy dissipation and peak load; the simplified shear strength model based on truss mechanism accurately predicted the shear-resisting capacity; and the established FEA model incorporating steel fracture criterion simulated well the seismic behavior (e.g., hysteretic curve, local buckling and fracture), which can be applied to the seismic analysis and design of Q690 circular HCFTST columns.

The tensile strength of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics under a high strain rate was experimentally investigated. A high-strain-rate test was performed using the tension-type split Hopkinson bar technique. In order to obtain the tensile stress-strain relations, a special fixture was used for the impact tensile specimen. The experimental results demonstrated that the tensile modulus and strength in the longitudinal direction are independent of the strain rate. In contrast, the tensile properties in the transverse direction and the shear properties increase with the strain rate. Moreover, it was observed that the strain-rate dependence of the shear strength is much stronger than that of the transverse strength. The tensile strength of off-axis specimens was measured using an oblique tab, and the experimental results were compared with the tensile strength predicted based on the Tsai-Hill failure criterion. It was concluded that the tensile strength can be characterized quite well using the above failure criterion under dynamic loading conditions.

The real strength evvelope for soils without cemetation goes through the origin and is curved. The Mohr -Coulomb failure criterion with the strength parameters c' and ø' from conventional tests overestimates the shear strength available at low normal stresses. The results of laboratory tests interpreted in terms of the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion are not appropriate for evaluation of surficial slope stability , because the range of effective normal stresses in the field are not used in the laboratory tests.

This paper presents a model for evaluating the contribution by arch action and frame action to shear resistance in shear-critical reinforced concrete beams without stirrup. The rotating angle softened truss model is employed to calculate the shear deformation of the web and the relative axial displacement of the compression and tension chord by the shear flow are also calculated. From this shear compatibility condition in a beam, the shear contribution by the arch action is numerically decoupled. The transverse strain obtained from the proposed model is selected for shear failure criterion. Using the failure criterion, shear strength of RC slender beams without stirrup is predicted.

본 연구에서는 제주도 현무암에 대한 삼축압축시험을 실시하고 Lade(1977)의 3차원 파괴규준을 적용하여 강도정수를 산정하였다. 그리고 3차원 파괴규준에 의해 산정된 강도정수와 파괴면의 특성을 살펴보고, Mohr-Coulomb의 파괴규준으로 산정한 전단강도정수와 비교검토하였다. 삼축압축시험결과를 토대로 Lade(1977)의 3차원 파괴규준을 이용하여 파괴시의 ($I_1^3/I_3-27$)과 ($P_a/I_1$) 관계로부터 매개변수인 ${\eta}_1$ 및 m을 구하였다. 3차원 파괴면을 나타내는 정팔면체 평면에서 조면암질 현무암의 파괴면이 가장 크고 스코리아가 가장 작으며, 단면형상은 조면암질 현무암이 가장 삼각형에 가깝고 스코리아가 가장 원형에 가까운 것으로 나타났다. 정팔면체 평면에서 삼축실험결과와 Lade의 파괴포락선 및 Mohr-Coulomb의 파괴포락선을 비교한 결과 높은 응력하에서는 Lade의 파괴규준이 실험치와 일치하며, 낮은 응력하에서는 Mohr-Coulomb의 파괴규준이 실험치와 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 Lade의 3차원 파괴면은 Mohr-Coulomb의 3차원 파괴면보다 크며, 이는 Lade의 파괴규준으로 산정된 전단강도정수가 Mohr-Coulomb의 파괴규준으로 구한 것 보다 더 크게 산정됨을 의미한다.

Barton and Choubey(1977)가 제안한 10개의 표준 거칠기 단면을 3차원으로 확장하여 모든 단면의 거칠기가 일정한 3차원 표준 거칠기 절리 모형을 제작하였다. 석고를 사용하여 이 절리 모형을 복제하여 절리시료를 제작하였고, 복제된 절리시료에 직접전단시험을 실시하여 표준거칠기 단면에 부여된 절리 거칠기계수(JRC)를 검증하였다. 먼저 절리 시료의 JRC, 절리면압축강도(JCS)와 기본마찰각(𝜙_b)을 이용하여 Barton (1973)의 전단강도 기준식에서 절리의 전단강도를 추정하고, 직접전단시험에서 측정된 전단강도와 비교하였다. 직접전단시험에서 측정된 전단강도는 1번과 4번 표준 거칠기를 제외한 8개 시료에서 Barton의 기준식에서 추정된 전단강도보다 낮았고, JRC가 큰 시료에서 차이가 더욱 크게 나타났다. 직접전단시험 결과를 역해석하여 JRC, JCS 그리고 𝜙_b의 적절성을 검토하였고, JRC의 문제점으로 인하여 측정된 전단강도가 추정된 전단강도보다 낮은 것으로 판명되었다. 역해석으로 구한 표준 거칠기 단면의 JRC 값인 JRC_m은 JRC보다 전반적으로 낮은 값을 보이지만 JRC와 상관성이 매우 높은 직선의 관계를 나타내었다. 위의 결과를 종합하여 표준 거칠기 단면의 정확한 JRC_m을 제시하였고, JRC_m과 JRC의 상관관계를 제시하였으며, Barton의 전단강도 기준식을 수정하여 제안하였다.

A new simple and practical strut-and-tie model (STM) for predicting the shear strength of RC pile caps is proposed in this paper. Two approaches are adopted to take into account the concrete softening effect. In the first approach, a concrete efficiency factor based on compression field theory is employed to determine the effective strength of a concrete strut, assumed to control the shear strength of the whole member. The second adopted Kupfer and Gerstle's biaxial failure criterion of concrete to derive the simple nominal shear strength of pile caps containing the interaction between strut and tie capacity. The validation of these two methods is investigated using 110 RC pile cap test results and other STMs available in the literature. It was found that the failure criterion approach appears to provide more accurate and consistent predictions, and hence is chosen to be the proposed STM. Finally, the predictions of the proposed STM are also compared with those obtained by using seven other STMs from codes of practice and the literature, and were found to give better accuracy and consistency.
