The shear strength and the associated failure modes were quantified.
Experimental tests were conducted to quantify the shear strength and the associated failure modes.
It is essential to understand the associated failure mechanisms and to predict the lifetime in practice.
Experimental tests were conducted to quantify the shear capacity and the associated failure modes with the influence of axial forces.
Experimental tests were conducted to quantify the shear strength of the anchor and the associated failure modes.
Under compression the associated failure interpretations include fiber kinking and fiber splitting, while under extension fiber de-bonding and matrix failure are included.
Fatigue tests of three conventional connection specimens were first conducted to evaluate the fatigue resistance and the associated failure mode for comparison with field observations.
Key questions on how to predict in advance the performance of the production system and the associated failure events could be finally addressed.
The experimentally derived member forces and the associated failure mode correlated well with the code provisions for strength evaluation of web-tapered members.
The approach is designed for the scenario where the failure modes are already identified, but the associated failure root causes or consequences as well as their underlying failure mechanisms have not yet been determined or assessed.
