  2. 1. Shear in Concrete Structural Elements Subjected to Dynamic Loads

    Author : Johan Magnusson; Anders Ansell; Mikael Hallgren; Richard Malm; Jaap Weerheijm; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dynamic load; initial response; shear failure; shear capacity; numerical simulations; bond; shear span; support reactions; Dynamisk last; initial respons; skjuvbrott; skjuvkapacitet; numeriska simuleringar; förankring; skjuvspännvidd; upplagsreaktioner; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Abstract : Concrete structural elements subjected to severe dynamic loads such as explosions at close range may cause shear failures. In the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 two concrete columns on the ground level were reported to have failed in shear. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quality aspects in direct shear testing of rock joints

    Author : Jörgen Larsson; Fredrik Johansson; Alejano Leandro; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rock joints; geometrical quality assurance; replicas; direct shear testing; normal stiffness; bergssprickor; geometrisk kvalitetssäkring; replikor; skjuvhållfasthetprovning; normalstyvhet.; Jord- och bergmekanik; Soil and Rock Mechanics;

    Abstract : The stability of rock masses is influenced by the occurrence of rock joints. Therefore, the shear strength of rock joints must be considered in dimensioning of underground constructions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mechanical Behavior of Tailings : Laboratory Tests from a Swedish Tailings Dam

    Author : Riaz Bhanbhro; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tailings dams; Tailings; Mechanical Behavior; Oedometer; Direct Shear; Triaxial; Shear strength; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Abstract : Tailings is leftover material from mining industry and is produced in huge quantities approximately 70-99% of the ore production.  Tailings material is stored as impoundments by constructing tailings dams which are often constructed with tailings material itself. READ MORE

  6. 4. Estimating the Air-Water Gas Transfer Velocity during Low Wind Conditions

    Author : Sam Fredriksson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Air.sea gas exchange; Turbulence; Heat flux; Natural convection; Shear; Direct numerical simulations; Gas transfer velocity; IR; Flux-chambers;

    Abstract : The abundances of atmospheric carbon dioxide, CO2, and methane, CH4, are increasing. These increases affect e.g., the global carbon cycle and the climate both regionally and globally. READ MORE

  7. 5. Undrained shear strength in clay slopes - Influence of stress conditions. A model and field test study

    Author : Hjördis Löfroth; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; preconsolidation pressure; piezocone test; slope; model test; consolidation; horizontal stress; clay; undrained shear strength; direct simple shear test; field vane test; field test;

    Abstract : To counteract natural hazards such as landslides, current methods for evaluation of soil properties as a mean for determining the safety level of natural slopes need to be refined. The empirical relationships used for estimation of the undrained shear strength from piezocone and field vane test are based on the stress conditions valid for horizontal ground and normally consolidated or slightly overconsolidated soil.
