President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In my October 2015 column, I compared three V-notched shear test configurations used to measure the shear stiffness and shear strength of composite materials: The ...
This project aims to develop and validate bolted splice details for C-PSW/CF, a structural system designed for non-seismic regions like New York City and Boston. The focus is on areas where bolted ...
Liquefaction triggering often reduces the shear strength of a soil so much as to induce damaging and potentially catastrophic displacements (e.g., flow sliding) and bearing capacity failures. The ...
