Improvement of adhesion performance of mortar-repair interface with inducing crack path into repair
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 34
Abstract
The most important performance for repair materials is adhesion to the substrate. The authors experimentally find out that high modulus fine aggregates in repair material enhance strength of it as well as the strength of the interface repaired with it, compared to the ordinary repair without fine aggregates. This paper elaborates the mechanisms for that with fractographic observation and FEM analysis based on the results of experiment. Also the authors discuss the ways for enhancing the strength and ductility of the repaired mortar.

Crack initiation behavior of notched specimens on heat resistant steel under service type loading at high temperature
Cracks at notches deserve special consideration in the design of steam turbine components. This work is addressed to investigate the crack initiation behavior a 10%Cr rotor steel with the help of notched specimens...
A numerical study on the structural integrity of self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridges
A generalized numerical model for predicting the structural integrity of self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridges considering both geometric and material nonlinearities is proposed. The bridge is modeled by m...
Tenacità a frattura e resistenza a fatica di acciai bonificati con microstrutture derivanti da tempra incompleta e riflessi sulle norme tecniche di impiego
Componenti meccanici di acciai allo stato bonificato, caratterizzati da microstrutture miste derivanti da condizioni di tempra incompleta, si incontrano frequentemente nella pratica costruttiva, a causa della tendenza ve...
A mechanical model for FRP-strengthened beams in bending
We analyse the problem of a simply supported beam, strengthened with a fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) strip bonded to its intrados and subjected to bending couples applied to its end sections. A mechanical model is...
Analysis on the growth of different shapes of mineral microcracks in microwave field
Microwave heating-assisted ore grinding and crushing can effectively increase the dissociation energy of minerals and decrease energy consumption. Microcrack growth and distribution characteristics inside dif...
