Mechanical fasteners, such as screws, bolts, pins and rivets, have been used for hundreds of years to assemble wood and metal structures. As composites have replaced other materials in structural ...

The Iosipescu Shear and the V-Notched Rail Shear test methods are ASTM standards, ASTM D 5379 1 and D 7078 2, respectively. Both are used primarily for in-plane shear testing, but each can be used for ...

This study investigates the shear strength characteristics of mudstone gravel slope following polymer grouting reinforcement through in-situ direct shear test. A corresponding numerical model was ...

Clay-type muddy interlayer is a key control factor leading to the instability of layered slopes, and it is of great significance to carry out the research on the shear characteristics of clay-type ...
