This study examined the effect of transverse reinforcement and compressive stress on the shear friction performance at the shear interface intersecting two structural elements with various concrete types. From the prepared 12 push-off test specimens, various characteristics at the interface were measured as follows: crack propagation, shear load-relative slip relationship, initial shear cracking strength, ultimate shear friction strength, and shear transfer capacity of transverse reinforcement. The configuration of transverse reinforcement and compressive strength of concrete insignificantly influenced the amount of relative slippage at the shear friction plane. With the increase of applied compressive stress, the shear friction capacity of concrete tended to increase proportionally, whereas the shear transfer capacity of transverse reinforcement decreased, which was insignificantly affected by the configuration type of transverse reinforcement. The empirical equations of AASHTO-LRFD and Mattock underestimate the shear friction strength of concrete, whereas Hwang and Yang model provides better reliability, indicating that the mean and standard deviation of the ratios between measured shear strengths and predictions are 1.02 and 0.23, respectively.

We perform a series of experimental tests to evaluate whether the shear strength of clean sands can be reliably predicted from shear wave velocity. Isotropic drained triaxial tests on clean sands reconstituted at different relative densities are performed to measure the shear strength and bender elements are used to measure the shear wave velocity. Laboratory tests reveal that a correlation between shear wave velocity, void ratio, and confining pressure can be made. The correlation can be used to determine the void ratio from measured shear wave velocity, from which the shear strength is predicted. We also show that a unique relationship exists between maximum shear modulus and effective axial stress at failure. The accuracy of the equation can be enhanced by including the normalized confining pressure in the equation. Comparisons between measured and predicted effective friction angle demonstrate that the proposed equation can accurately predict the internal friction angle of granular soils, accounting for the effect of the relative density, from shear wave velocity.

Recently, the probability of rock joints being exposed to free faces is getting higher for the scale of rock mass structures gets larger. Also, the frequency of occurring dynamic events such as earthquakes and blasting has been increasing. Thus, the shear behavior of rock joints under different conditions needs to be investigated. In this study, a series of direct shear tests were carried out under various conditions to examine the velocity-dependent shear behavior of saw-cut rock joints. Two types of direct shear test were carried out. The first was to examine the velocity-dependent shear behavior of saw-cut rock joints at seven different shear velocities, each with three different normal stresses. The second was to examine the shear behavior of saw-cut rock joints when three different instantaneous shear velocities changed. As a result, the coefficient of friction was affected by normal stress. The breakpoint velocity, the point when the change of shear velocity starts to affect the frictional behavior, became lower as normal stress increased. Also, as the shear velocity became lower, the degree of stress-drop on stick-slip behavior became larger. As a result of examining the changes of friction coefficient, velocity weakening (decrease of friction coefficient) was observed. The decrement of friction coefficient due to the changes of shear velocity under slow shear velocity was larger than that under fast shear velocity.

하천시설물 설계, 시공 및 관리에 있어서 바닥전단응력은 매우 중요하다. 예를 들어, 호안 등 시설물의 허용 소류력을 계산하거나, 하천의 유사량을 예측하는 데 있어서 바닥전단응력이 기준으로 쓰인다. 정상 등류의 경우, 수로 내 수체에 작용하는 중력과 수로 바닥 및 측면에 작용하는 마찰력의 평형을 고려함으로써 바닥전단응력을 산정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 식생을 제외한 아크릴수로에서의 전단판의 움직임을 이용한 바닥전단응력 측정장치를 설계, 교정 및 검증을 실시하였다. 이 전단판은 수체와 바닥면에서 발생하는 마찰력에 의해 변위가 발생하고 이 변위를 바닥전단 응력으로 산정하였다. 직접 측정한 바닥전단응력은 기존에 연구된 두 가지 방법과 비교하여 검증하였다. 비교 검증을 위한 실험은 폭 0.3 m, 길이 10 m인 고속수로에서 Froude수 1이상, Reynolds수 20000이상의 사류이면서 난류인 상태로 실험을 진행하였으며 유속은 PIV을 이용하여 측정하였다. 비교 검증을 위한 첫 번째방법은 Reach-avrage공식을 기초로 manning의 평균 유속 공식을 이용한 바닥전단응력을 산정하는 방법으로 일반적으로 간단한 경험식을 이용하여 바닥 전단응력을 산정하는 방법이다, 두 번째는 Reynolds stress를 산정하는 방법으로 PIV를 통해 흐름방향의 연직프로파일의 유속을 측정 한 후 레이놀즈 분해법에 의해 산정된 난류 강도를 측정하여 Reynolds stress를 산정한 후 Shear stress를 산정하는 방법을 사용하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구에서 가로 0.14 m, 세로 0.14 m의 전단판으로 구성된 바닥전단응력 측정장치를 개발하여 실험을 진행하면서 앞에서 언급한 두가지 방법을 측정하는 동시에 장치를 이용하여 바닥전단응력을 직접측정하여 총 3가지 바닥전단응력을 비교하였다.

미세유동에 대한 폭발적인 관심에 의해 이 분야의 연구는 다양한 측면에서 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 사각 미세채널에서의 슬립유동에 관한 연구 중 아직 제대로 이루어져 있지 않은 마찰특성에 관한 종횡비의 영향에 초점을 맞추어 3차원 수치해석을 행하였다. 그 결과 종횡비가 1.0 일 때 상하 벽면 및 좌우측 벽면에서의 전단음력은 동일하나, 종횡비가 감소함에 따라 전단응력은 상하 벽면과 좌우측 벽면이 상이한 강도로 증가함을 보였다. 또한 Knudsen 수의 증가에 따라서는 전단응력이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 벽면에서의 전단응력은 종횡비를 증가시키거나 혹은 Knudsen 수를 증가시키면 감소시킬 수 있으며, 마찰계수(fRe)도 종횡비를 증가시키거나 혹은 Knudsen 수를 증가시키면 감소됨을 밝혔다.

For a member subjected to direct shear forces, forces are transferred across interface concrete area and resisted by shear transfer capacity. Shear-friction equations in recent concrete structural design provisions are derived from experimental test results where shear-friction capacity is defined as a function of steel reinforcement area contained in the interface. This empirical equation gave too conservative values for concrete members with large amounts of reinforcement. This paper presents a method to evaluate shear transfer strengths and to define ultimate conditions which result in crushing of concrete struts after yielding of longitudinal reinforcement perpendicular to the interface concrete. This method is based on the bi-axial stress field theory where different constitutive laws are applied in various means to gain accurate shear strengths by considering softening effects of concrete struts based on the modified compression-field theory and the softened truss model. The validity of the proposed method is examined by applying to some selected test specimens in literatures and results are compared with recent design code provisions. A general agreement is observed between predicted and measured values at ultimate loading stages in initially uncracked normal-strength concrete test.

Shear friction strength model of concrete was proposed to explain the direct friction mechanism at the concrete interfaces intersecting two structural elements. The model was derived from a mechanism analysis based on the upper-bound theorem of concrete plasticity considering the effect of transverse reinforcement and applied axial loads on the shear strength at concrete interfaces. Concrete was modelled as a rigid-perfectly plastic material obeying modified Coulomb failure criteria. To allow the influence of concrete type and maximum aggregate size on the effectiveness strength of concrete, the stress-strain models proposed by Yang et al. and Hordijk were employed in compression and tension, respectively. From the conversion of these stress-strain models into rigidly perfect materials, the effectiveness factor for compression, ratio of effective tensile strength to compressive strength and angle of concrete friction were then mathematically generalized. The proposed shear friction strength model was compared with 91 push-off specimens compiled from the available literature. Unlike the existing equations or code equations, the proposed model possessed an application of diversity against various parameters. As a result, the mean and standard deviation of the ratios between experiments and predictions using the present model are 0.95 and 0.15, respectively, indicating a better accuracy and less variation than the other equations, regardless of concrete type, the amount of transverse reinforcement, and the magnitude of applied axial stresses.

Interfacial shear stresses have been determined for countercurrent stratified flow of air and water in a nearly-horizontal rectangular channel, based upon measurements of pressure drop, gas velocity profiles and mean film thickness. A dimensionless correlation for the interfacial friction factor has been developed as a function of the gas and liquid Reynolds numbers. Equivalent surface roughnesses for the interfacial friction factor have been calculated using the Nikuradse correlation and have been compared with the intensity of the wave height fluctuation on the interface. The results show that the interfacial shear stress is mainly affected by turbulent mixing near the interface due to the wave motion rather than by the roughened surface.

An internal friction angle, which is one of strength parameters of granular soils, can be obtained from direct shear tests or triaxial tests. The result of traixial tests can be influenced by various experimental conditions such as confining pressure, shearing rate, specimen diameter and height, and end constraint. In this study, undrained and drained shearing behaviors of Nakdong River sand were investigated for loose (Dr = 40%) and dense (Dr = 80%) specimens with 5, 7, and 10 cm in diameter. Friction angles such as undrained total stress friction angle, undrained effective stress friction angle, and drained friction angle obtained from Mohr's stress circle slightly increased and then decreased as a diameter of a specimen increased from 5, 7 to 10 cm, regardless of relative densities. The difference between friction angles caused by different specimen size was at maximum 4.5 degrees for undrained total stress friction angle of dense specimen. In most cases, there was little difference between friction angles of large and small specimens, which was less than 2 degrees. The difference between an effective friction angle from undrained tests and a drained friction angle from drained tests was at maximum 7 degrees for loose samples but negligible for dense samples.

일면전단시험은 전단면의 응력을 직접 측정하므로 평면변형시 강도를 파악할 수 있는 등의 많은 장점을 가지고 있으며, 시험조작이 간편하기 때문에 실용적으로도 우수한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 사질토의 경우에 의한, Dilatancy에 의한 체적변화과정에서 공시체와 전단상자의 주면마찰력이 전단면의 수직 응력을 증감시키기 때문에 구해지는 강도가 과대 또는 과소하게 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 반력판측에 장착한 하중계를 통해 전단면의 수직응력을 직접 측정 제어하는 형식으로 개선되어 주면마찰력의 영향을 해소하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 반력판측에 하중계를 장착한 개량형 다단식 단순전단시험기를 개발하여 사질토의 정압(CD)조건 전단시험을 수행하여 강도특성과 전단강도에 미치는 영향을 개량형 일면전단시험의 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 정압조건의 일면전단시험과 단순전단시험에 의한 강도정수는 조밀한 모래의 경우는 거의 비슷하게 나타나며, 느슨한 모래의 경우는 일면전단이 다소 크게 나타났다. 그리고 단순전단과 일면전단시험에서의 Dilatancy거동에는 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다.
