Examples in Context

  1. The experiment and comparison results show that the ultimate shear stress, cohesion and angle of internal friction decrease along with the broadening of water content in the expansive soil.
  2. Results show that the shear curves of expansive soil-concrete interface display work softening type and both the ultimate shear stress and the residual shear stress accord with Mohr-Coulomb criterion. Therefore, the tangential curves of the interface between expansive soil and structure can be simplified as three-broken-line curves.
  3. The experimental results show that 0.2 % yield shear stress, ultimate shear stress and 0.2 % yield tensile stress, ultimate tensile stress under torsion tension combined high strain rate decrease with increasing temperature.
  4. On the other hand, the high load ratio of the expressway ( construction ratio ), ultimate height of the road embankment, strong shear stress and the big width of loading are the main reasons causing lateral protruding and part devolution.
  5. The software ANSYS is used to calculate the stress of the shear connectors, getting the ultimate bearing capacity of the shear studs and load slip curve, and analyze the stress distribution characteristics of shear studs in concrete which is in the compressive state.
