Bond of GFRP Bars in Concrete: Experimental Study and Analytical Interpretation

The local bond mechanics of glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in normal strength concrete was investigated through experimental testing and analytical modeling. The experimental program was comprised of 30 direct tension pullout specimens with short anchorages. A novel test setup, specially designed so as to minimize the spurious influence of testing conditions on measured bond properties was adopted in the study. Parameters considered were the bar roughness and diameter, the size effect expressed by the constant cover to bar diameter ratio, and the external confining pressure exerted over the anchorage length by transverse externally bonded FRP sheets. Results of the study were summarized in the form of local bond-slip curves, whereby performance limit states were quantified by the amount of loaded end slip and bond strength. An analytical model of the bond stress-slip response of a GFRP bar was derived from first principles and calibrated against the test data of the present investigation. Using the calibrated model, design values for bond and slip were estimated with reference to the code limit state model for bond.     

Nonlinear Stress-Strain Relationship of Soil Reinforced with Flexible Geofibers

A nonlinear stress-strain relationship of soil reinforced with flexible geofibers under static loading is derived based on a nonlinear elastic stress-strain relationship of soil and a linear elastic stress-strain relationship of geofibers in the paper. This investigation includes the following aspects: First, the homogenization technique is introduced to find the volume average stress tensor and volume average strain tensor and further an elastic incremental stress-strain relation is introduced to describe deviatoric shear stress-axial strain relationship of equivalent homogeneous geofiber-reinforced soil. Second, the relation of geofiber numbers, content, mechanical behavior, distribution, and geometrical features to shear modulus of geofiber-reinforced soil is expressed and assessed by employing an elastic energy method. Third, the deviatoric shear stress and axial strain curves of geofiber-reinforced soil are calibrated by laboratory testing data of geofiber reinforced soil samples. Finally, the theoretical computational curves of geofiber reinforced soil are compared with the curves calibrated by testing data of geofiber reinforced soil. The model prediction has a good agreement with experimental results.     

沾化凹陷南斜坡油气运移条件及运移特征研究

油气运移的条件和油气运移的特征决定了油气藏的形成与分布。沾化凹陷南斜坡不整合面、断层以及各层系储集砂体的空间配置构成复杂的立体网络通道，决定了油气的运移，控制了油气分布。以断层为垂向运移通道的油气藏常在断层带附近多层叠置；以连通砂体为主要运移通道的油气藏常形成于距烃源层较近或相邻的层位；以不整合面作为运移通道往往可使油气长距离运移形成各种地层油气藏。沾化凹陷南斜坡的油气藏都是油气经过两种或多种输导层阶梯式运移而形成的。砂体、断层和不整合面组成的输导系统的末端和边缘是油气运移的重要指向区。

Comparative Study of Models on Confinement of Concrete Cylinders with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites

The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for strengthening and/or rehabilitation of concrete structures is gaining increasing popularity in the civil engineering community. One of the most attractive applications of FRP materials is their use as confining devices for concrete columns, which may result in remarkable increases of strength and ductility as indicated by numerous published experimental results. Despite a large research effort, a proper analytical tool to predict the behavior of FRP-confined concrete has not yet been established. Most of the available models are empirical in nature and have been calibrated against their own sets of experimental data. On the other hand, the experimental results available in the literature encompass a wide range of values of the significant variables. The objective of this work is a systematic assessment of the performance of the existing models on confinement of concrete columns with FRP materials. The study is conducted in the following steps: the experimental data on confinement of concrete cylinders with FRP available in the technical literature are classified according to the values of the significant variables; the existing empirical and analytical models are reviewed, pointing out their distinct features; the whole set of available experimental results is compared with the whole set of analytical models; and strengths and weaknesses of the various models are analyzed. Finally, a new equation is proposed to evaluate the axial strain at peak stress of FRP-confined concrete cylinders.     

Flexural and Shear Rigidity of Composite Sheet Piles

The flexural and shear rigidity of pultruded composite sheet pile panels consisting of E-glass fiber-reinforced polyester are studied in this paper. The analysis consists of an experimental investigation and an analytical modeling to determine the resistance of the sheet pile panels to the deflections for design of composite sheet pile walls. Timoshenko’s beam theory was used to experimentally determine the flexural rigidity (EI) and shear rigidity (kAG) of the panel. Three- and four-point bending tests were performed on six different span lengths and the results were self-compared from the two independent tests. Analytical expressions for the flexural and shear rigidities were derived to allow the prediction based on the layered structure of pultruded shapes. The values computed from the analytical expressions were examined with the experimental results.

配置抗冲切钢筋的混凝土异形柱-板柱连接试验研究

在9个柱截面为三种典型异形柱(十字形、T形和L形) -板柱连接未配置抗冲切钢筋时的冲切特性试验基础上,以十字形柱-板柱连接为代表,通过三个配置抗冲切钢筋试件与三个未配抗冲切钢筋试件的对比试验,研究了异形柱-板柱连接配置抗冲切钢筋后的冲切特性,同时将锚栓和箍筋的抗冲切性能进行了对比。试验结果表明,抗冲切钢筋可以有效地提高板的受冲切承载力和延性,在改善延性方面,锚栓比箍筋更有效。另外,将国外几个主要规范ACI3 18、BS8110及MC90 ,关于对非矩形荷载面冲切临界截面周长的规定进行了比较,从试验结果看,ACI3 18规范的取法更合理。

Development of adolescent reading comprehension in language 1 and language 2: A longitudinal analysis of constituent components.

This study investigated the relationship between reading comprehension development of 389 adolescents in their dominant language (Language 1 [L1], Dutch) and a foreign language (Language 2 [L2], English). In each consecutive year from Grades 8 through 10, a number of measurements were taken. Students' reading comprehension, their linguistic knowledge (vocabulary and grammar knowledge) and processing efficiency (speed of word recognition and sentence comprehension) in both languages, and their metacognitive knowledge about reading were assessed. The relative strengths of the effects of these components of reading were analyzed to distinguish among 3 hypotheses about the relationship between L1 and L2 reading comprehension: the transfer hypothesis, the threshold hypothesis, and the processing efficiency hypothesis. The transfer hypothesis predicts a strong relationship between L1 and L2 reading comprehension and a strong effect of metacognitive knowledge on L2 reading comprehension, whereas the threshold and processing efficiency hypotheses predict a more important role of language-specific knowledge and processing skills. Results support the transfer hypothesis, although language-specific knowledge and fluency also contribute to L2 reading performance. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
