All of these specimens were divided into two series. Six specimens in SeriesⅠwith different bar diameters of 12, 20 and 25 mm were subjected to monotonic loads and were used to confirm the ultimate bearing capacity. The remaining three specimens in Series Ⅱ were subjected to fatigue loads and were designed to investigate the attenuation character of dowel action and the fatigue failure modes. The test results show that the accumulated fatigue damage due to fatigue loads can reduce the ultimate bearing capacity of specimens. With the increase in fatigue loads, the failure mode can transform to fatigue rupture of the dowel bar under the serviceability loading state,i. e. 55% of the monotonic capacity. The fatigue life is determined by the fatigue properties of steel and concrete.Based on the test data, the failure process of dowel action can be divided into two stages： the accumulation of fatigue damage and the fatigue rupture of dowel bar.展开更多

In particular, the failure due to impact loading is the main reason for the observed damages. The problem of dynamic behavior of the expansion joints is so complex that we shall focus our attention on the impact factor for vehicle load that is governed by traffic impact. In order to overcome this difficulty, the cantilever-toothed aluminum joint (finger joint) is one of the promising joints under impact loading. In this study, from the viewpoint of design methodology, numerical studies for impact behavior were conducted for aluminum alloy expansion joints with perforated dowels. The design impact factor for the expansion joints with the perforated dowels against traffic impact loading was examined by using numerical simulations.展开更多

Joint members were made of ll-ply hardwood plywood of 19 mm thickness. Dowels were fabricated of Beech and Hornbeam species. Their diameters （6, 8 and 10 mm） and depths of penetration （9, 13 and 17 ram） in joint members were chosen variables in our experiment. By increasing the connector＇s diameter from 6 to 8 mm, the bending moment resistance under diagonal compressive load was increased, while it decreased when the diameter was increased from 8 to 10 mm. The bending moment re- sistance under diagonal compressive load was increased by increasing the dowel＇s depth of penetration. Joints made with dowels of Beech had higher resistance than dowels of Hornbeam. Highest resisting moment （45.18 N.m） was recorded for joints assembled with 8 mm Beech dowels penetrating 17 mm into joint members Lowest resisting moment （13.35 N.m） was recorded for joints assembled with 6 mm Hornbeam dowels and penetrating 9 mm into joint members.展开更多

Different ions （nitrogen/titanium） with different doses are implanted into the surface of strut dowel. The result of Auger Electron Spectroscopy （AES） indicates that nitrogen can be implanted more deeply than titanium under the implantation condition of 60 kV accelerating voltage and a dose of 8×10^17/cm2 nitrogen. Surface Micro Hardness （SMH） and wear resistance are improved remarkably. Further SEM observation shows that there are no obvious scratches and damages after wear test.展开更多

This configuration is expected to grant high stiffness by bending performance of the metal pipe and rich ductility through shear deformation of compressed wooden dowel without brittle split of the joint member. Experimental tests were performed in order to verify your assumptions and pursue an optimum design. Double shear test perpendicular to the grain of HP was conducted with parameter of thickness and loading direction for base member for pin’s diameter. Rotational test for mortise and tenon joint inserted with HP was performed in order to evaluate the moment resisting performance. Consequently, the hybrid pin showed satisfactory performance as shear type fastener by virtues of not only relatively high stiffness but also rich ductility originated from the properties of each component, stain less steel pipe and compressed wood.展开更多
