Analytical study on shear behavior of composite concrete slab

Concrete is used significantly in many structures since, the last few centuries. The need to maximize the concrete strength and utilize it's complete potential is the main focus of researchers even in today's modern age. It is thus, important to restore the existing structures apart from developing new materials and technology to build new...

Interface Strength of Rock Discontinuities: Based on Experiments Conducted Using the Direct Shear Box

The aim of this project is to focus on the effect of mechanical contrast and surface roughness as factors influencing the shear strength of the interface of different rock samples. The shear strength of an interface is significant in experimental projects that for instance address the containment and propagation analysis of hydraulic fractures....
