The tensile strength of clay is a major mechanical parameter and the main controlling parameter of tensile crack development which is generally encountered in geostructures. In this experimental study, 8-shaped direct tensile test and split tensile test were used to measure the tensile strength of compacted clay soil. Unconfined compression tests on the same clay samples were also carried out. Tensile strength and unconfined compression test results were compared. Laboratory tests were performed on Ankara clay and Kaolin clay with the addition of various proportions of synthetic polypropylene fiber, pulverized rubber, metal swarf, and bentonite. The data between the results of 8-shaped direct tensile tests, split tensile tests, and unconfined compression tests were correlated. This usage of different stabilizing agents enabled the authors to observe the reliability of the tensile strength measurement methods when soils' mechanical properties were significantly changed and to develop universal equations which also can be applied to stabilized soils. The ratio of 8-shaped tensile strength to split tensile strength and to unconfined compressive strength was calculated to be 1.9 and 0.4, respectively. Also, the ratio of split tensile strength to unconfined compressive strength was calculated to be 0.2. Three equations were developed according to the Ankara clay and Kaolin clay mixtures' tensile strengths, index properties, and compaction characteristics and proposed to estimate the tensile strength of fine-grained soils from their index properties.

A Study on the tensile strength of compacted Ankara clay and kaolin clay
Dağar, Volkan; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
Tensile strength of clay, is a major mechanical parameter and is the main controlling parameter of tensile crack development which is generally encountered in geostructures. The researches to determine the tensile strength of clays are very limited. There are two kinds of methods which are used to measure the tensile strength of soils and these are named as, indirect and direct methods. In this experimental study, a direct tensile test apparatus was developed for measurement and understanding of the tensile...
Obtaining soil-water characteristic curves by numerical modeling of drainage in particulate media
Sattari, A. Shoarian; Toker, Nabi Kartal (Elsevier BV, 2016-04-01)
Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is widely used for obtaining mechanical and hydraulic properties of unsaturated soils, such as shear strength, deformation, permeability, and flow. An innovative approach, where a meso-scale medium is generated based on particle size distribution and void ratio of non-plastic soils, for estimating the drying SWCC is developed. With application of the finite difference and Newton-Raphson (Jacobian) approximations, the air-entry pressures of pore bodies in inter-particle...
Determination of the Tensile Strength of Different Fiber Reinforced Concrete Mixtures
Ardoğa, Mehmet Kemal; Alam, Burhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (null; 2016-09-21)
Enhancing the tensile performance of concrete is the main advantage when fibers are added to this type of building materials. This improvement is usually measured through indirect methods like bending or split-tensile tests, in a way similar to normal concrete due to the absence of a standard tensile test for such purpose. Naturally, this type of tests does not determine the real tensile strength of the fiber reinforced concrete. Hence an important parameter, that is needed in modelling and designing proces...
Investigation of tensile plastic instability and necking for AL2024T3 aluminum and S235JR steel alloys
İli, Volkan; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Tensile plastic instability phenomenon is defined as the mode of deformation so that large amounts of deformation is localized in a certain region of a component during product life or testing procedure. Several studies have been published to assess the methods proposed to predict tensile plastic instability and necking behavior of materials. Although research has been done by using various specimens, comparative results on different specimen materials and geometries as well as different test methods have n...
A probabilistic model for the assessment of uncertainties in the shear strength of rock discontinuities
DUZGUN, HSB; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Karpuz, Celal (Elsevier BV, 2002-09-01)
Discontinuity shear strength plays a critical role in many problems encountered in rock engineering, especially in the design of rock slopes. Since its precise estimation is generally not possible, it is crucial that the errors and uncertainties associated with its estimate be quantified and reflected in the design procedure. In this study, the uncertainties underlying discontinuity shear strength are thoroughly examined and an uncertainty analysis model is developed for the estimation of in situ discontinu...
