This study used test frames were purposely detailed and constructed with observed deficiencies in investigated dormitory buildings of Turkey. In this study, four reinforced concrete frames were produced two storeys, one bay and 3D in 1/6 geometric scale was tested. Since the studied frame was the external frame of the structure, brick infill wall with a window opening was also included. The first specimen was the reference specimen and contained no strengthening and no brick wall. The second specimen was contained brick wall. The third specimen was strengthened with internal steel panel. Final

Abstract:

One of the greatest drawbacks to predicting the behaviour of bonded joints has been the lack of reliable data on the mechanical properties of adhesives. In this study, methods for determining mechanical properties of structural adhesive were discussed. The Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and tensile strength of the adhesive were tested by dogbone specimens (bulk form) and butt joint specimens (in situ form). The shear modulus and shear strength were test by V-notched specimens (bulk form) and thick adherend lap-shear (TALS) joint specimens (in situ form). The test results show that the elasti

A novel adaptive displacement-controlled test setup was developed for fatigue testing on mini specimens. In property characterization of additive manufacturing materials, mini specimens are preferred due to the specimen preparation, and manufacturing cost but mini specimens demonstrate higher fatigue strength than standard specimens due to the lower probability of material defects resulting in fatigue. In this study, a dual gauge section Krouse type mini specimen was designed to conduct fatigue tests on additively manufactured materials. The large surface area of the specimen with a constant s

One of the most restricting aspects of the biaxial tensile test for sheet metal is the design of the cruciform specimen. Although specimens of the cruciform type have previoussly been investigated quite extensively, no standard geometry for the cruciform specimen exists.

Finite element modelling of the specimens was also conducted to establish optimum specimen geometry. Through a process of optimisation, a standard cruciform specimen

Abstract Most methods for predicting fatigue lives of rubber components rely heavily on experimental studies that involve specimens subjected to essentially uniform states of deformation. But, in service, rubber components often fail at or near rubber-metal bonds where the state of deformation is far from uniform.

Abstract Capillary movement in porous building materials is modelled by unsaturated flow. Material property needed for the calculations is liquid water diffusivity which is usually estimated by water absorption coefficient and capillary saturation moisture content. While determining of water absorption coefficient can be done according to EN-ISO 15148:2002 there is still lack of knowledge about sources of uncertainty in the experiment. In this paper author presents results of ruggedness tests done with mortar. The sources of errors investigated here was the shape and water inflow area of the s

This study presents the results of comparative tests concerning the destruction process of specimens made of material DD11, for which different hole-forming technologies (i.e. drilling and piercing) were applied. For the analysis of cross-sectional properties of a specimen in the process of destruction, relative vibrations of the specimen’s free end as a function of vibrations of a forcing mechanism (vibration inductor) were selected as the diagnostic signal. The tests were carried out on a test stand on which the destruction process of the material’s cross-section was induced by the specimen’

For future spacecraft TPS (heat shield) applications, ablation experiments of carbon phenolic material specimens with two lamination angles (0° and 30°) and two specially designed SiC-coated carbon–carbon composite specimens (with either cork or graphite base) were conducted using an HVOF material ablation test facility. The heat flux test conditions ranged from 3.25 to 11.5 MW/m2, corresponding to an interplanetary sample return re-entry heat flux trajectory.

Abstract:

Shot peening is a mechanical treatment that induces several changes in the material: surface roughness, increased hardness close to the surface, and, the most important, compressive residual stresses. This paper analyzes the effect of this treatment on alloy Al 7075-T651 in the case of fretting fatigue with cylindrical contact through the results of 114 fretting fatigue tests. There are three independent loads applied in this type of test: a constant normal load N, pressing the contact pad against the specimen; a cyclic bulk stress σ in the specimen; and a cyclic tangential load Q through the

This paper presents a new sample preparation method, in which the sedimentation method and consolidation test are combined, to prepare the saturated specimens for fall cone test for determining the consistency limits, and the sample prepared by this new method can be considered completely saturated. For the specimens prepared by the previous sample preparation method, the decrease in the water content leads to a decrease in

Abstract:

The fatigue characteristic of a material or a structure is derived from fatigue tests of standard specimens. However, many researches have reported that test results of standard specimens are very different from those of real structures or components. One reason for this difference is the constraint effects according to the geometrical difference. Therefore, to calculate more accurate fatigue life, the constraint effect must be considered by comparing test results of standard specimens with those of real structures or components. Another reason for this difference is the surface condition. All

Test results showed that full tailings cemented backfilling had strong reflection and damping effects on elastic wave propagation.

This paper introduces a novel approach to measure deformations in geomaterials using the recently developed ‘Smart Pebble’ sensors. Smart Pebbles were included in triaxial test specimens of unbound aggregates stabilized with geogrids. The sensors are equipped with an aggregate particle/position tracking algorithm that can manage uncertainty arising due to signal noise and random walk effects. Two Smart Pebbles were placed in each test specimen, one at specimen’s mid-height, where a geogrid was installed in the mechanically stabilized specimen, and one towards the top of the specimen.

The indirect tension test is an important laboratory test for rock characterization. The presence of rock fabric, such as schistosity, complicates the assessment of test results. One hundred and forty-five indirect tension tests were conducted on mica schist specimens to investigate the effect of schistosity orientation on failure mode and tensile strength. Tensile strength results did not provide a clear relationship between schistosity orientation and tensile strength, so the failure patterns were investigated. A new naming scheme for failure modes was developed, incorporating fracture patte
