Interface horizontal shear strength requirement in Ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW) pavement.

Design and Concrete Material Requirements for Ultra-thin Whitetopping

Regional variation in shear strength of the bone-polymethylmethacrylate interface.

Many investigators consider the polymethylmethacrylate-bone interface the weakest link in the bone-cement-implant system. Push-out tests, frequently used for in vitro evaluation of the bone-cement interface, produced inconsistent results of shear strength. Therefore, a more reliable model for testing the shear failure of the interface was developed. Better understanding of intrinsic variations ...

Numerical investigation on the pullout shear strength of soil-nail interface using finite element method

Soil nailing is a popular reinforcement method for stabilizing slopes, excavations, and retaining walls in many countries. The pullout capacity of the soil-nail interface is a critical parameter for the design and safety assessment of soil-nailed systems. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model is developed using the commercial program ABAQUS to simulate the pullout te...

Effect of Moisture Content on Shear Strength of Offshore Clay Interface Steel Surface

This paper investigates the effect of moisture content on interface shear strength between offshore clay and steel plate. Although, sensitive and high plasticity offshore clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and many other countries in the world, and steel is a vital construction material for many structures, research works on interaction between offshore clay and steel surface are ...

Influences of Surface Characteristics and Modified Asphalt Binders on Interface Shear Strength

Weak bonding between layers of pavement leads to damages on the composite pavement. Bonding plays an important role in the durability and maintenance of composite pavement layers. The present study evaluates the factors effective in bond strength of the interface between concrete and asphalt pavements. The factors considered for this purpose include steel slag percentage in the concrete pavemen...
