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 ...

conclusions the bleaching procedures using 20% carbamide peroxide and 45% carbamide peroxide and diode laser significantly decreased shear bond strength of brackets to the teeth. 45% carbamide peroxide had a more significant effect on bond strength compared to 20% carbamide peroxide. the difference in bond strength was not significant between laser group and either carbamide peroxide groups. re...

a reinforced concrete member in which the total span or shear span is especially small in relation to its depth is called a deep beam. in this study, a new approach based on the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (anfis) is used to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete (rc) deep beams. a constitutive relationship was obtained correlating the ultimate load with seven mechanical a...

statement of problem: shear bond strength (sbs) of home and office bleached enamel will be compromised by immediate application of composite restoration. antioxidant agent may overcome this problem. objectives: this in vitro study assessed the effect of green tea extract on shear bond strength of resin composite to in-office and home-bleached enamel. materials and methods: in this experimental ...

Introduction: Due to undeniable effect of surface treatment on restoration bond strength, this study was conducted to measure and compare the shear bond strength of hybrid ionomer and compomer using the three different methods of surface conditioning. Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, 72 samples were prepared from hybrid ionomer (Vitremer-3M) and compomer (Compoglass-Vivadent) re...

Cohesive-frictional soils are widely used in the construction of embankment structures and due to the method of construction, i.e. applying compactive efforts in the vertical direction in these cases, the occurrence of anisotropy in the soil strength and permeability seems to be inevitable. In this study, attempts have been made to evaluate the shear strength of c-f soils through modifying a l...

Nine restrained T-beams were tested in a study of the negative moment region shear strength of lightly reinforced concrete T-beams. Variables included the longitudinal reinforcement ratio p, (0.47 percent and 0. 70 percent) and the nominal stirrup strength (0 to 84 psi [0 to 0.60 MPa]). The test results are compared with the shear provisions of "Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concret...

One of the most important and the most controversial engineering properties of soil is its shear strength or ability to resist sliding along internal surfaces within a mass. The stability of a cut, the slope of an earth dam, the foundations of structures, the natural slopes of hillsides and other structures built on soil depend upon the shearing resistance offered by the soil along the probable...
