Abstract A new system of multiple dynamic strain sensors and accelerometers embedded in test piles provides direct synchronous measurement of force and acceleration at various locations within a pile during high strain dynamic pile testing. This instrumentation system creates an opportunity to explore side and end bearing pile resistance distribution with a higher level of confidence and reliab...

The truss-reinforced half-concrete slab has been widely used in prefabricated construction all over the world. It become most component form China. However, its cost is higher than using conventional method. To improve half floor system, it essential to have a comprehensive understanding of slab’s structural performance complete loading history. Six experimental tests on such slabs were carried...

At present, research on prefabricated piers is limited to the axial compression state. However, many are under small eccentric in practical engineering. In this article, seismic performance of ultrahigh concrete (UHPC)-grouted corrugated pipe-connected was studied. A pseudostatic test carried out by using a pier column model connected with UHPC-grouted pipes. The failure mechanism plastic hinge...

Semi-flexible pavement surfacing is a composite pavement that utilizes the porous pavement structure of the flexible bituminous pavement, which is subsequently grouted with appropriate cementitious materials. This study aims to investigate the compressive strength, flexural strength, and workability performance of cementitious grout. The grout mixtures are designed to achieve high strength and ...

We describe X-ray computed tomography (CT) datasets from three specimens recovered from Early Cretaceous lakebeds of China that illustrate the forensic interpretation of CT imagery for paleontology. Fossil vertebrates from thinly bedded sediments often shatter upon discovery and are commonly repaired as amalgamated mosaics grouted to a solid backing slab of rock or plaster. Such methods are pro...
