The theoretical normal stress and shear strength distributions along the plug-rock interfaces of axially loaded expansive cement-grout borehole plugs cast in rock cylinders, determination of interfacial shear strength parameters, and experimental analyses of plug-rock mechanical interactions are presented as a function of uniform curing and testing temperature and of borehole size. The results of the back analysis show that the angle of internal friction along the plug-rock interface remains almost constant with increasing temperature. The cohesion slightly decreases going from ambient temperature to 70 degrees C. A pronounced reduction in cohesion occurs at 90 degrees C, which is attributed to high pore pressures and deterioration of the structural properties of the cement gel and of the cement plug-rock interface at high temperatures. In-situ experiments on larger radius plugs are recommended to assess the validity of the laboratory-scale shear strength determined in this study.

Archaeometric investigation of the construction materials of Roman (Caracalla) Bath in Ankara Tanrıverdi, Zeynep; Atalay, M Ümit; Akyol, Ali Akın; Department of Archaeometry (2018) In this study, the characteristics, technologies, provenance, compatibility, durability and deterioration problems of the original materials (stone, stone tessera, brick, mortar, and plaster) used in the construction of the Roman Bath in Ankara are identified through archaeometric methods, such as basic physical and physicomechanical tests (bulk density, effective porosity, water absorption capacity, ultrasonic pulse velocity, hardness tests), and compositional, mineralogical, and chemical analyses (binder ...
MULTI-SCALE CHARACTERIZATION OF DEFORMATION IN ALUMINUM Güler, Baran; Efe, Mert (2018-06-22) Materials with deformation behavior sensitive to their microstructure may need deformation analysis at multiple scales to establish the relationship between the microstructure and response to deformation processing. In this work, we use in-plane biaxial test (cruciform) to measure the macro- and microstructure-scale mechanical behavior of a 6061-T6 aluminum alloy at various strain paths. We report flow curves, forming and fracture limits as examples to the macromechanical behavior. As an alternative to the ...
Three Dimensional Grain Boundary Modeling in Polycrystalline Plasticity Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Firat, Ali Osman (2018-04-25) At grain scale, polycrystalline materials develop heterogeneous plastic deformation fields, localizations and stress concentrations due to variation of grain orientations, geometries and defects. Development of inter-granular stresses due to misorientation are crucial for a range of grain boundary (GB) related failure mechanisms, such as stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and fatigue cracking. Local crystal plasticity finite element modelling of polycrystalline metals at micron scale results in stress jumps at...
Lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall systems Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) The accuracy of the finite element method and strip method of analysis for calculating the lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is assessed by making comparisons with experimental findings. Comparisons revealed that while both methods provide acceptable accuracy, they also require the generation of sophisticated computer models. In this paper, two alternative methods are developed. The first one is an approximate hand method based on the deep beam theory. The classical deep beam theory...
Size influence on the sealing performance of cementitious borehole plugs. Akgün, Haluk (1986-01-01) Hydraulic conductivity tests were performed on expansive mixes of ideal class A cement plugs cast in basalt blocks and in steel pipes. Plug diameters range from 25 mm (1 inch) to 200 mm (8 inches), with most of the tests reported performed on plugs in the upper end of this range (150 mm (6 inch) and over). Cement curing temperatures were monitored, as well as pipe strains induced by cement swelling. As a result of the (unintentional) block fracturing, it became possible to study the hydraulic conductivity o...
