To address the limitations of mechanical shear connectors, adhesives are used in this research as shear connectors of steel-concrete composite beams (SCCBs). Several groups of bending tests were ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

In my previous column, I noted that the shear strength and shear stiffness of the core material in a sandwich panel can be determined in situ while performing flexural tests to evaluate other sandwich ...

The hunger for a better, more effective, more economic, easier for construction, and overall more sustainable bridge design is enormous nowadays. One of the solutions for the problems described is a ...

In my July 2005 column, a new ASTM standard shear test method was introduced 1. At that time, I raised the question, Why do we need another shear test method for composite materials?, with the promise ...
