The interaction between the interface of soil and concrete is the mechanical basis of
engineering structures under loading. Many failures begin at the soil–concrete interface …

Shape of soil grains has a major role in the characterization of its behavior. This important
feature has an appreciable impact on all mechanical properties of granular soils. In order to …

This paper investigates the effect of grain form on the mechanical behaviour of a railway
ballast aggregate using large-scale shear box tests. The speciality of the research is that …

The interface shear behavior is quite beneficial for explaining the stress–strain response of
geosynthetics. A series of interface direct shear tests are carried out between three distinct …

Climate warming has led to landslides, especially the slopes containing soil-rock interfaces.
A series of shear tests were conducted on the coarse-grained soil (CGS) rock interface at …

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a promising composite to be used in construction in
coastal and marine environments to resist seawater corrosion that deteriorates the …

The shear behavior of the pipe-soil interface determines the frictional resistance of pipe
jacking. In the interfacial direct shear tests of well-graded dense sand against steel pipe …

Translational sliding failures in landfills are often triggered by inadequate shear strength of
interfaces in liners and covers. Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCL) are used in different …

The steel-concrete-fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite structure was proposed in this
paper, where FRP and steel were designed in the tensile region and compression region of …

The initial bond stress between carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and concrete is low,
and installing shear connectors on FRP profiles disrupts the integrity of the material. As a …
