Prediction of the pull-out strength of chemical anchorsin natural stone
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 29
Abstract
The applicability of some numerical models for the prediction of the failure mechanism and of thebearing capacity of post-installed threaded rods chemically anchored in basalt, sandstone and limestone isinvestigated, as well as the reliability of theoretical formulations conceived for concrete.The numerical predictions, performed by means of engineering structural analysis software and advancednumerical codes, are compared with the results of an experimental research related to chemical anchors innatural stone. The minimum embedment depth for such fastening system is identified.

A dimensional analysis approach to fatigue in quasi-brittle materials
In this study, a generalized Barenblatt and Botvina dimensional analysis approach to fatigue crack growth is proposed in order to highlight and explain the deviations from the classical power-law equations used to charac...
Growth of long fatigue cracks under non-proportional loadings – experiment and simulation
An experimental campaign was carried out on thin-walled tubes under tension and torsion. The results from experiments are measured and compared. It is observed that cracks follow a shear-dominated growth pattern...
Numerical simulation of dynamic brittle fracture of pipeline steel subjected to DWTT using XFEM-based cohesive segment technique
In the past several numerical studies have addressed the ductile mode of fracture propagation. However, the brittle mode of pipeline failure has not received as much attention yet. The main objective of this ...
The effect of ply folds as manufacturing defect on the fatigue life of CFRP materials
Manufacturing defects are inherent to any manufacturing process. However, in composite materials they might be unavoidable, e.g. ply waviness or even folds of plies are present in complex shaped parts during high...
Damaging micromechanisms characterization in a ferritic-pearlitic ductile cast iron
The analysis of the damaging micromechanisms in Ductile Cast Irons is often focused on ferritic matrix. Up to ten years ago, for this grades of DCIs, the main damaging micromechanism was identified with the graph...
