Different failure modes occur for concrete anchors in tension. Ultimate tensile strength of
anchors should be calculated per failure mode based on the design codes. Past studies …

Expansion anchors are one common type of post-installed concrete anchors. A review of the
static tensile behavior of expansion anchors is conducted. Focuses of this study are on the …

In this paper, the fracture process zone (FPZ) of high-performance concrete (HPC) is
investigated under mixed-mode I/II load conditions, and its formation is studied by applying …

In recent years, the construction and research community have gained interest in
geopolymer concrete as it uses fly ash as an alternative to normal concrete using Portland …

The stress of shear connectors becomes more complicated as the span length of steel-
concrete composite bridges increases. To bear the great shear and uplift forces, a T-type …

To investigate the tensile (pullout) behavior of expansion anchors in High-Performance
Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (HPSFRC), 30 valid unconfined tension (pullout) tests on …

Concrete breakout (CB) failure is the most common failure mode for studs in tension. Based
on the Griffith's strength theory, Mohr's circle method, and mechanics of materials, the …

This paper experimentally and numerically investigated the pull-out behavior of stud groups
embedded in concrete. Seven groups of pull-out tests were conducted to study the effect of …

The joint is a critical component that facilitates force transmission across precast bridge
slabs while maintaining structural integrity. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is commonly used …

In this study, the concrete cone capacity, concrete cone angle, and load–displacement
response of cast-in headed anchors in geopolymer concrete are explored using numerical …
