The effect of grain angle (GA) on shear strength of Douglasfi r has been evaluated. Shear block specimens with a GA varying from 0 to 90 ° was loaded in the shear plane, resulting in failure mode transitioning from parallel to grain shear to rolling shear. As expected, shear strength decreased as the GA increased from 0 ° to 90 ° . A root-mean-square equation was found to be suitable to predict...

in this study, hybrid of phenol formaldehyde-fish glue was used to replace the chemical resin in plywood manufacturing. for this purpose, fish glue was applied at three levels including 0, 10 and 20 percent based on the dry weight of resin. physical and mechanical properties of manufactured plywoods were measured. thickness swelling after 2 and 24 hours immersion in tap water, bending strength,...

b = a length L c = the cohesion intercept M L T Ip = the plasticity index P = a force M L T u = the pore fluid pressure ML T θ = an angle Angle μ1 = shear strength reduction factor related to time effects μ2 = shear strength reduction factor related to fissuring σ = the normal stress on a plane M L T τ = the shearing stress on a plane M L T φ = the angle of internal friction Angle ψ = an angle ...

Crushed stone bases are widely used for low-volume roads. However, shear strength of the crushed stone materials can be vastly improved by confining the material in geocellular confinement systems or geocells. Geocells are 3-dimensional honeycomb-like structures. The objective of this study was to test a geocell design with crushed stone (AB-3) in-fill and a thin hot-mix asphalt (HMA) surface l...

abstract statement of problem: there is no enough published data about the shear bond strength of resin modified glass ionomer adhesives on caries-affected primary tooth dentin excavated using minimally invasive systems. objectives: to evaluate the shear bond strength of 2 different adhesives (one resin modified glass ionomer and one resin) using two caries removal techniques on healthy and car...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of various concentrations of naocl on shear bond strength of composite resin to dentin of primary teeth, prepared with laser and bur. methods: in this in vitro study, 48 primary molars were sectioned at mesiodistal direction and were randomly divided into 6 groups; g1: bur, g2: bur + naocl 2.5%, g3: bur + naocl 5.25%, g4: laser, g5:...

The shear strength plays an important role in avalanche formation. However, investigations on shear strength in the field are time-consuming, in particular these measurements require experienced avalanche professionals. Main objective of this study was to estimate shear strength by using indirect methods which are more user-friendly than the traditional tests. We assumed that hardness and densi...

. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on shear strength enhancement of reinforced concrete deep beams externally reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. A total of six deep beam specimens of two different classes, as-built (unstrengthened) and retrofitted were tested in the experimental evaluation program. Two composite systems namely carbon/epoxy...

Steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich panels are composed of two steel plates with low thicknesses and high densities and strengths and one thick layer between both plates with low strength and density known as core that is composed of concrete. Cohesive material-epoxy resin or shear connectors are usually used to connect the plates to the concrete core. SCS sandwich composites are being develope...
