Summary: This paper presents a series of simulations on a demountable steel-concrete bolted connector in push-out tests, incorporating damage models of bolt and concrete materials to better understand the behavior of the connector. Results indicate that friction force at the steel-concrete interface contributes to the shear resistance of the connector, with load-slip curves and bolt fractures being approximately predicted by considering damage models and friction coefficient. Experiments on concrete damage model, bolt hole clearance, and pretension of short bolt are also discussed regarding shear performance.

Summary: In this experimental study, push-out tests were conducted to evaluate the shear strength of louver steel plates with different types of shear connectors. It was found that the use of louver steel plates increased the shear strength of the specimens compared to plain steel plates, and the increased strength was approximately 88% of the theoretical bearing strength of the louvers. The slip capacity of the headed studs satisfied the specified criteria, while the lattice shear connectors did not due to insufficient welding length.

Summary: Perfobond shear connector is widely used in steel-concrete composite structures due to its high ultimate shear capacity, large shear stiffness, and excellent fatigue resistance. This study investigates the mechanical properties of perfobond connectors considering the confinement effect caused by restrained rebar and contact friction. The results show that the shear capacity, shear stiffness, and ductility of the connectors can be significantly improved by the presence of restrained rebar and contact friction. A simplified mechanical model and an empirical formula are proposed to accurately predict the shear capacity of perfobond connectors.

Summary: The effective transfer of shear forces and limiting slippage to achieve appropriate composite behavior is crucial in steel-concrete joints. Rigid shear connectors are recommended due to their high strength, stiffness, and small dimensions in the joint area of composite structures. Experimental and finite element modeling studies demonstrate that rigid shear connectors can transfer high levels of forces with minimal slippage and without resistance-decline in a confined condition.

Summary: This study investigated the repetitive performance of an advanced bolted shear connection used in steel-concrete composite beams. Various parameters were considered, including bolt diameter, bolt load, loading path, and loading program. The failure mode, load-slip response, shear bearing resistance, initial slip load, shear stiffness, peak slip, and ductility were evaluated. It was found that bolt shear capacity and load-slip response were similar under repetitive loading as compared to monotonous loading. Additionally, it was observed that peak slip increased with the increase in bolt diameter under repetitive loading. Design recommendations based on existing formulae were also proposed.

Summary: Full-scale push-out tests were conducted to study the shear behavior of HSBCs in prefabricated steel-concrete composite bridge beams. The tests considered key parameters including steel block height, longitudinal connector spacing, presence of oblique rebars in the precast slab, and grouting material. The results showed that HSBCs have large shear stiffness, high shear capacity (approximate to 1500kN), and sufficient deformability. The height and spacing of HSBCs were identified as the two principal parameters affecting shear capacity and failure mode.

Summary: GFRP bolts are a promising shear connector in FRP-concrete hybrid beams due to their flexible arrangement and ease of installation. The push-out tests revealed that GFRP bolt specimens exhibited different failure modes compared to stainless-steel bolts, with typical P-S curves showing a non-linear response. The layout of bolts had a negligible effect on the shear capacity if certain criteria for longitudinal row spacing and horizontal spacing were met.

Summary: The research found that the combined application of lime and geogrid to clayey subgrade significantly enhanced its ductility and geotechnical characteristics, but excessive water pressure caused separation between geogrid layers and subgrade, leading to reduced uniformity and consistency. Moreover, controlling moisture to optimal levels can maximize the performance of subgrade, while excess moisture beyond optimal levels resulted in more voids, decreasing geotechnical properties.

Summary: This study investigates the performance behavior of novel precast beam-to-column joints using engineered cementitious composite (ECC) with different types of fibers under cyclic loading. The results show that the precast joints exhibit better seismic performance compared to the conventional monolithic joint. This is attributed to the higher tensile and flexural strengths of the ECC fibers, better mechanical bridging and bonding, increased resistance to slippage for reinforcing bars, and avoidance of spalling concrete in the joint area. The novel precast joints can potentially withstand high earthquake activities due to their superior seismic performance.

Summary: This numerical study examines the behavior of novel stiffened angle shear connectors in solid concrete slabs at different temperatures. A nonlinear finite element model is developed and validated with experimental data. The results show a significant decrease in the ultimate strength of the connectors at high temperatures, but they perform similarly to ordinary C-shaped connectors at temperatures between 700-850 degrees C. The stiffened connectors exhibit greater ductility at elevated temperatures and increasing their height and width enhances their shear strength significantly. The findings demonstrate the importance of the connector's height in improving shear strength capacity compared to ordinary C-shaped connectors.

The results showed that the strengthened members exhibited improved performance, including lower moment degradation, higher load-carrying capacity, and greater stiffness and ductility. Additionally, GFRP strengthening was found to be more effective for cyclically loaded steel SHS. The developed theoretical model accurately predicted the ultimate moment capacities of the strengthened SHS members.

The results show that the fatigue behavior is similar for both powders, but the specimens produced from the Hydride-Dehydride powder have higher dispersed results. Fracture primarily occurs in the porosities near the machined sample surface, and the fatigue cracks propagate in a zigzag mode parallel to the L-PBF building direction.

Summary: During a major overhaul of an aeroengine, a cracked stator vane of the low-pressure compressor was discovered, with the crack originating from a corrosion pit located on the arc transition between the leading edge and the upper edge plate. The fracture surface exhibited signs of fatigue cracks, indicating a pit-related fatigue crack. Metallographic examination revealed that most corrosion pits were distributed beneath the bulging or peeling paint layer on the leading edge and the concave side. Identification of the corrosion products showed the presence of sulfate and alumina, suggesting atmospheric corrosion as a likely cause for the cracked stator vane.

Summary: Tube-to-tube impact wear is a significant factor in the failure of alloy 690 tubes in nuclear steam generators. This paper investigates the wear damage mechanism and detection method of alloy 690 tubes under tube-to-tube impact loads. The results reveal the wear damage mechanism through analysis of macro and micro morphologies as well as metallographic structures. A nonlinear ultrasonic wave mixing method is proposed for damage detection and a detection device is developed to implement this method. Experimental results indicate that the damage mode of tube-to-tube impact wear varies with impact load and cycle number, and the nonlinear modulation index is effective in assessing the damage degree of alloy 690 tubes.
