The pull-out test can convert the interface force transfer process into measurable data including load, slip and failure mode. Nevertheless, the test results are affected by multiple factors such as mechanical properties of concrete, surface morphology of reinforcements, geometric configuration, specimen fabrication, loading scheme, measurement methods and pre-existing damage. This paper analyzes the interface force transfer mechanism, parameter effects, test control and result interpretation. It points out that the nominal bond strength only represents the average response under specific boundary conditions, and a single peak value cannot fully reflect the bearing characteristics of the interface. During testing, unified standards shall be implemented for effective anchorage length, relative cover thickness, centering of loading and water content of specimens. Comprehensive evaluation shall be conducted combined with peak slip, initial stiffness, residual strength, curve shape and failure mode. The proposed analysis framework improves the comparability and interpretability of pull-out test results, and provides technical support for material screening, anchorage structure optimization and damage condition evaluation.展开更多

The pull-out performance of conventional suction caissons (with upright walls) has been investigated by a number of researchers. However, no attention has been paid to tapered suction caissons. This paper deals with the performance of tapered suction caissons under vertical pull-out loads. A numerical approach is used for this purpose. The numerical model is first verified against test data available for common upright caissons. The verified model is then used to study the pullout performance of tapered suction caissons. It is noticed that the pull-out capacities exhibited by tapered suction caissons are in general considerably higher than those from their corresponding traditional upright caissons. To obtain an insight into this superior behaviour, effects from certain soil/caisson/drainage parameters on the pull-out capacity of tapered suction caissons are studied. Soil cohesion is noticed to have a linear improving effect on the capacity of both upright and ta- pered suction caissons. The soil internal friction angle is noticed to have an exponential increasing effect on the pull-out capacity. With a constant caisson diameter, an increase in the aspect ratio is seen to particularly influence the pull-out capacity. With a constant caisson length, an increase in the aspect ratio is discovered to result in non-linear decrease in the pull-out capacity. Under undrained conditions, tapered models generally show less sensitivity to above mentioned soil/caisson parameters as compared with those under drained conditions.展开更多

A dynamic model of bridging fiber pull-out of composite materials was presented. Resultingly the fiber failure is governed by maximum tensile stress, the fiber breaks and hence the crack extension should occur in self-similar fashion. By the methods of complex functions, the problem studied can be transformed into the dynamic model to the Reimann-Hilbert mixed boundary value problem, and a straightforward and easy analytical solution is presented. Analytical study on the crack propagation subjected to a ladder load and an instantaneous pulse loading is obtained respectively for orthotropic anisotropic body. By utilizing the solution, the concrete solutions of this model are attained by ways of superposition.展开更多

In this paper, a new method for testing interface properties of geotextiles is proposed. The interface frictional characters of two kinds of geotextiles (woven and needle-punched nonwoven) are investigated through pullout test. Nonwoven specimen has more wide variety of displacement along length than that of woven under the same pressure because of their different extensibility. The greater the elongation and deformation of specimens, the more evident the variations of displacement along reinforcement from front to pullout end. The greater the normal pressure, the smaller the displacement of every position along length with the same pullout load. The study focuses on the effects of the tensile modulus and the difference of pullout response between woven and nonwoven geotextiles.展开更多

Such load transfer is of great importance in dentistry when a post is used for fixing a ceramic crown on the tooth. In this study, a pull-out test was carried out to analyse the interfacial properties of a steel fibre embedded in a polyester and epoxy matrices. It was found that the fibre-matrix interface is debonded on the whole embedded length when the fibre stress reached the debonding stress. Then, the fibre stress fell down to the initial extraction stress required to pulling out the debonded fibre from the matrix. Both debonding stress and initial extraction stress initiated a linear increase with the implantation length after the debonding stress reached horizontal asymptotes. To analyse the fibre-matrix load transfer before debonding, an analytical shear-lag model was adopted to in this test conditions. Fitting the experimental results with the analytical model provided the interfacial shear strength. By considering the Coulomb friction at the fibre-matrix interface during the fibre extraction process, an analytical model which considers Poisson's effects on both fibre and matrix, was developed. In this model, knowledge of the initial extraction stress of the fibre provides the residual normal stress at the fibre-matrix interface.展开更多

To make such pull-out measurements, however, the length of embedded fiber must be small enough so that the fiber does not break before it is pulled freely. This is difficult to achieve by conventional methods with fibers of small diameter, such as the carbon fibers. In this paper, a fiber pull-out experiment is described. Specialized apparatus in our laboratory, as well as this technique for sample preparation are discussed in detail. The interfacial shear strength of carbon fiberesin matrix composites is analyzed quantitatively by using the finite-element method. The SFPOT system has been proved to be an available means for the study of interfacial properties for carbon fiberesin matrix composites.展开更多

Failure processes, such as fiber/matrix inter- face debonding and sliding associated with pull-out of helical fibers, are responsible mainly for the high energy dissipation needed for the fracture toughness enhancement. Here we present systemic analyses of the pull-out behavior of a helical fiber from an elastic matrix via the finite element method (FEM) simulation, with implications regarding the underlying toughening mechanism of helicoid microstructures. We find that, through their uniform curvature and torsion, helical fibers can provide high pull-out force and large interface areas, resulting in high energy dissipation that accounts, to a large extent, for the high toughness of biological materials. The helicity of fiber shape in terms of the helical angle has significant effects on the force-displacement relationships as well as the corresponding energy dissipation during fiber pull-out.展开更多

摘要This study investigates the performance of high-strength cable bolts under impact loading conditions representative of rock bursts in underground environments.Although widely used,the dynamic behaviour of these cable bolts has received limited experimental attention,and their effectiveness in seismically active zones remains a subject of ongoing debate.To address this gap,a reverse pull-out test machine integrated with a drop hammer rig was employed.Tests were conducted on 70-t SUMO bulbed and non-bulbed cable bolts with encapsulation lengths of 300 and 450 mm,subjected to an impact energy of 14.52 k J.Results indicate that non-bulbed cables,despite showing lower initial peak loads(average 218 vs.328 k N for bulbed cables at 300 mm encapsulation),demonstrated superior energy absorption(average 11.26 vs.8.75 k J)and displacement capacity(average 48.40 vs.36.25 mm).Increasing the encapsulation length for bulbed cables led to a reduction in initial peak load but improved displacement and energy absorption.The dominant failure mechanism was debonding at the cable-grout interface,characterised by frictional sliding and cable rotation.These findings provide new insights into the energy dissipation mechanisms of cables and support the development of more resilient ground support systems for dynamically active conditions.
摘要The bond strength of concrete determines the anchorage performance of steel bars, crack control and coordinated stress bearing of structural components. The pull-out test can convert the interface force transfer process into measurable data including load, slip and failure mode. Nevertheless, the test results are affected by multiple factors such as mechanical properties of concrete, surface morphology of reinforcements, geometric configuration, specimen fabrication, loading scheme, measurement methods and pre-existing damage. This paper analyzes the interface force transfer mechanism, parameter effects, test control and result interpretation. It points out that the nominal bond strength only represents the average response under specific boundary conditions, and a single peak value cannot fully reflect the bearing characteristics of the interface. During testing, unified standards shall be implemented for effective anchorage length, relative cover thickness, centering of loading and water content of specimens. Comprehensive evaluation shall be conducted combined with peak slip, initial stiffness, residual strength, curve shape and failure mode. The proposed analysis framework improves the comparability and interpretability of pull-out test results, and provides technical support for material screening, anchorage structure optimization and damage condition evaluation.

With a constant caisson diameter, an increase in the aspect ratio is seen to particularly influence the pull-out capacity. With a constant caisson length, an increase in the aspect ratio is discovered to result in non-linear decrease in the pull-out capacity. Under undrained conditions, tapered models generally show less sensitivity to above mentioned soil/caisson parameters as compared with those under drained conditions.

摘要Laboratory pull-out tests were conducted on the following rock bolts and cable bolts:steel rebars,smooth steel bars,fiberglass reinforced polymer threaded bolts,flexible cable bolts,IR5/IN special cable bolts and Mini-cage cable bolts.The diameter of the tested bolts was between 16 mm and 26 mm.The bolts were grouted in a sandstone sample using resin or cement grouts.The tests were conducted under either constant radial stiffness or constant confining pressure boundary conditions applied on the outer surface of the rock sample.In most tests,the rate of displacement was about 0.02 mm/s.The tests were performed using a pull-out bench that allows testing a wide range of parameters.This paper provides an extensive database of laboratory pull-out test results and confirms the influence of the confining pressure and the embedment length on the pull-out response(rock bolts and cable bolts).It also highlights the sensitivity of the results to the operating conditions and to the behavior of the sample as a whole,which cannot be neglected when the test results are used to assess the bolt-grout or the grouterock interface.

摘要Due to the influence of mining disturbance stress,it is of great significance to better understand the bearing characteristics of fully grouted bolts under different pull-out loading rates.For this purpose,a series of laboratory pull-out tests were conducted to comprehensively investigate the effects of different pull-out loading rates on the mechanical performance and failure characteristics of fully grouted bolts.The results show that the mechanical performance of the anchored specimen presents obvious loading rate dependence and shear enhancement characteristics.With the increase of the pull-out loading rates,the maximum pull-out load increases,the displacement and time corresponding to the maximum pull-out load decrease.The accumulated acoustic emission(AE)counts,AE energy and AE events all decrease with the increase of the pull-out loading rates.The AE peak frequency has obvious divisional distribution characteristics and the amplitude is mainly distributed between 50-80 dB.With the increase of the pull-out loading rates,the local strain of the anchoring interface increases and the failure of the anchoring interface transfers to the interior of the resin grout.The accumulated AE counts are used to evaluate the damage parameter of the anchoring interface during the whole pull-out process.The analytical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.The research results may provide guidance for the support design and performance monitoring of fully grouted bolts.

摘要Many biological materials, such as wood and bone, possess helicoid microstructures at microscale, which can serve as reinforcing elements to transfer stress between crack surfaces and improve the fracture toughness of their composites. Failure processes, such as fiber/matrix inter- face debonding and sliding associated with pull-out of helical fibers, are responsible mainly for the high energy dissipation needed for the fracture toughness enhancement. Here we present systemic analyses of the pull-out behavior of a helical fiber from an elastic matrix via the finite element method (FEM) simulation, with implications regarding the underlying toughening mechanism of helicoid microstructures. We find that, through their uniform curvature and torsion, helical fibers can provide high pull-out force and large interface areas, resulting in high energy dissipation that accounts, to a large extent, for the high toughness of biological materials. The helicity of fiber shape in terms of the helical angle has significant effects on the force-displacement relationships as well as the corresponding energy dissipation during fiber pull-out.
摘要The purpose of this paper is to establish confidence in anticipated minimum bond strength for inflatable rock bolts by comparing the bond strength to variable geotechnical conditions using the rock mass rating(RMR)system.To investigate a correlation between these parameters,the minimum bond strength of pull-out tested inflatable rock bolts was compared to the RMR of the rock in which these bolts were placed.Bond strength vs.RMR plots indicate that expected minimum bond strength is positively corre-lated with RMR;however,the correlation is not strong.Cumulative percent graphs indicate that 97~;of pull-out tests result in a minimum bond strength of 3.3 and 1.7 ton/m in RMR/〉45 and〈45,respectively.Although lower bond strengths are more commonly encountered in low RMR ground,high bond strengths are possible as well,yielding higher variability in bond strengths in low RMR ground.Bond strength of friction bolts relies on contact between the rock bolt and drill hole.Experience in Nevada indicates that RMR is known to affect both the quality and consistency of drill holes which likely affects bond strength.Drilling and bolting in low RMR ground is more sensitive to drilling and bolting practices,and strategies for maximizing bond strength in these conditions are discussed.

摘要Experimental investigation on the pull-out behaviour,including the withdrawal capacity,slip stiffness and inter-facial shear stress,of axially loaded screwed-in threaded rod embedded in cross laminated timber(CLT)was con-ducted.Specimens with varying embedment length and different number of threaded rods were tested in this study.To prevent premature splitting failure of timber,some specimens were reinforced in the direction perpen-dicular to the timber grain with self-tapping screws.Test results showed that the screwed-in threaded rod con-nections exhibited good pull-out behaviour with high withdrawal capacity and slip stiffness.Within a certain range,the withdrawal capacity increases considerably with the increase of embedment length,while the average interfacial shear stress shows the opposite tendency.The self-tapping screws played an important role on reducing the splitting of the timber and improving the withdrawal capacity and slip stiffness of the screwed-in threaded rod.Additionally,for the specimens with self-tapping screw reinforcements,the improvement of withdrawal capacity and stiffness when increasing the number of threaded rods are much more obvious than that of the speci-mens without the self-tapping screws,due to the change of failure modes.

摘要The transient and static anti-plane problem of a rigid line inclusion pulled out from an elastic medium is studied.The singular integral equation method is used to solve the stress field.Under the static load,the stress intensity factor(SIF)at the inclusion tips increases with the medium length.The problem becomes equivalent to an inclusion in a medium with an infinite length when the length of the medium is 3.5times longer than that of the inclusion.However,under the transient load,the maximum value of the SIF occurs when the medium length is about two times the inclusion length.Besides,the relation between the pull-out force and the anti-plane displacement is given.The conclusions are useful in guiding the design of fiber reinforced composite materials.
