Experimental study of shear behavior of planar non-persistent joint

Hadi Haeri, Vahab Sarfarazi and Hossein Ali Lazemi

Abstract

The present article discusses the effect of the ratio of bridge surface to total shear surface, number of bridge areas and normal stress on the failure behavior of the planar non-persistent open joints. Totally, 38 models were prepared using plaster and dimensions of 15 cm

Key Words

bridge area; jointed specimen; crack propagation; indirect shear loading; shear-fracture behavior
