    摘要: A combination kneader/compactor and plane-strain, simple shear testing apparatus for use in testing paving materials by subjecting them to anticipated design stress over a range of temperatures and various rates of shear. The sample is compacted to the ultimate in-place (equilibrium) density that occurs in the pavement structures. This apparatus and method pre-stresses the sample under the actual stress anticipated for the structure and use the anticipated theoretical vertical stress to fully compact the sample followed by a plane strain simple shear test to measure the dimensionally correct shear strength and moduli which are used to calculate the dimensionally correct design parameters. Pertinent variables are displayed on a computer screen during testing followed by print out of a graph and data sheets with relevant design data. Fundamental engineering (stress-strain) measurements including rational shear strength and static as wall as dynamic moduli are obtained which are suitable for use in design calculations in a rational engineering approach to flexible pavement design in lieu of conventional empirical correlations. The optimum bitumen or water content is precisely determined on the basis of the elasto-plastic property response under simulated traffic, independently of conventional empirical correlations with a percentage of voids and empirical shear indices. Precisely controlled cyclic shear deformation is introduced while the sample is subjected to the anticipated design vertical stress, this being analogous to what happens in the pavement beneath a moving vehicle tire. Thus this laboratory testing machine becomes an accelerated traffic simulator.

    摘要: A portable device for measuring the shear properties of compacted asphalt mixes under applied dynamic loading conditions. The device includes first and second material retaining members which form a material receiving pocket for containing the compacted asphalt mix. The first and second material retaining members are connected via flexure assemblies which allow movement of the first and second material retaining members only along the longitudinal axis of the compacted asphalt mix. A dynamic load is applied to the flexures, thereby creating a shear condition parallel to the longitudinal axis of the compacted mix. The temperature of the asphalt mix may be held constant by controlling the temperature within an environmental chamber through the use of a closed loop PID control system.The specimen is dynamically loaded by a dynamic loading frame consisting of a servo pneumatic actuator and load reaction structure. A microprocessor-based controller operates the dynamic loading frame under closed loop control. The microprocessor-based controller may be servo controlled, utilizing feedback from either a load transducer or either of two linear displacement transducers.

    摘要: A method for measuring an adhesion strength of a resin material which is capable of accurately and readily measuring a universal adhesion strength independent of dimensions and shapes of specimen. A delamination portion is partially formed between a resin and an adherend material. Loads in two different directions are applied to an adhering interface such that opposed shear stresses are generated. As a result, a true adhering strength can be obtained from an apparent delamination propagating strength in each case.

    摘要: Interfacial strength of a composite material between its fibers and matrix is measured by observing a sample material through a microscope, measuring the diameter of selected one of the fibers by moving indicators in the field of vision of the microscope, applying pressure on the selected fiber by means of an indentator and measuring both the displacement of the indentator and the load on the fiber, and thereby obtaining a curve between the indentator displacement and the square root of the load. The curve has a straight portion and the point at which the curve begins to deviate from the straight portion is determined. The load value corresponding to this point is used to calculate debonding and sliding interfacial shear strengths of the material according to given formulas.

    摘要: A bi-axial compression test apparatus for geomaterial (soil, etc.) samples that is designed to allow free shear band formation and provide measurements of the stress displacement characteristics of the failure zone. A geomaterial sample formed into a specimen comprising a right rectangular prism is surrounded by a thin rubber membrane and is supported by walls along two parallel faces. An axial load is kinematically applied by a plate that is guided to prevent any tilt or eccentricity, while a bottom support plate for the specimen is horizontally guided by a linear bearing that is substantially friction free. All of the surfaces in contact with the specimen are glass lined and lubricated to minimize friction. The assembly of the specimen and its supports is placed in a conventional tri-axial cell in a loading frame so that an axial load can be applied to one end of the specimen and reacted against the bottom plate. Internal loaded load cells allow for accurate measurement of the axial force, and any eccentricities thereof, as well as friction along the side walls. Displacement transducers monitor the axial and lateral displacements of the specimen and the horizontal movement of the bottom plate, to permit analysis of the shear mode, and when to determine shear failure occurs.

    摘要: A conventional borehole shear tester is modified by incorporating a volume-monitoring accessory in the non-pressurized chamber vent line. This accessory includes a fluid reservoir operatively connected to the non-pressurized chamber of the shear head unit. A change in the level of fluid in the reservoir indicates changes in the volume of the non-pressurized chamber, which in turn indicates a change in shear head diameter. By maintaining a constant fluid level in the reservoir, the volume of the non-pressurized chamber remains constant and the shear head diameter remains constant. Thus, with the shear head diameter fixed, the normal pressure exerted on the wall of the borehole varies as the soil dilates or consolidates. Accordingly, the modified borehole shear tester of the present invention simulates friction pile behavior.

    摘要: A device for determining the shear strength of rock and soil is disclosed. The device includes means for supporting the device within a borehole, a primary shaft, a plurality of shearing units slidably attached to the shaft having shear heads which are movable from a retracted position to a material-engaging expanded position, and a slip joint between adjacent shearing units such that the units operate independently from one another. The shearing units apply progressively greater normal forces on the material to be tested and sequentially shear the material being tested.In operation, the device is lowered into a borehole. Then the shearing units are moved from their retracted position to their expanded material-engaging position so as to apply progressively greater normal forces on the material to be tested. An axial force is then applied to the shaft so that the material engaged by the shearing unit closest to the anchor shears. After the material shears, the respective heads of the shearing unit are retracted and the axial force is transferred to the next adjacent shearing unit by means of the slip joint. After the material engaged by each of the shearing units is successively sheared, the shearing characteristics of the material may be determined from the known applied normal and shear forces.

    摘要: A vane modulus soil tester includes a multi-blade vane having a plurality of radially extended and circumferentially spaced-apart blades. The blades have cavities in which resistance-type strain gauges are carried for measuring stress on the face of the vane blades. At least strain gauges are situated so as to be "facing" each other.A further embodiment may be provided with a series of independent levels of blades of different thicknesses whereby test values may be extrapolated to zero blade thickness conditions or the insitu value. A support base is provided for securely positioning a vane rod extended axially from the vane and for applying torque to the vane through the vane rod.
