A total of 45 (i.e., 9 hollow and 36 fully grouted) specimens were tested, and the failure modes and initial crack were reported. The effects of block strength, grout strength, and loading scheme on the compressive strength of the fully grouted prism were discussed. The results show that the compressive strength of bond beam block prisms increased with an increase in grouting, while they were less affected by the block strength; the peak strength of the grouted block masonry was, on average, 35.1% higher than the hollow masonry prism. In addition, although the specimens' strength was lower under cyclic compression than under monotonic compression loading, the difference in their specified compressive strength was statistically insignificant. The stress-strain curve of block masonry under uniaxial compression was also obtained. Through nonlinear fitting, the compressive stress-strain relationship of grouted masonry, considering masonry strength parameters, was established, which demonstrated alignment with prior experimental studies. This study not only provides a strength calculation method for grouted masonry structures using high-strength blocks in the code for the design of masonry structures in China but also offers a dedicated stress-strain curve for precise finite element analysis and the design of masonry structures.</p>","PeriodicalId":18281,"journal":{"name":"Materials","volume":"18 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12155600/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144285217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To create micropores in BCP walls, camphene was used as the pore-forming agent for preparing BCP suspensions, since it could be completely dissolved in photopolymerizable monomers composed of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) and then undergo phase separation when placed at 5 °C. Therefore, solid camphene crystals could be formed in phase-separated BCP layers and then readily removed via sublimation after the photopolymerization of monomer networks embedding BCP particles by DLP. This approach allowed for tight control over the microporosity of BCP walls by adjusting the camphene content. As the camphene content increased from 40 to 60 vol%, the microporosity increased from ~38 to ~59 vol%.

The use of coal slag resulted in significant increases in compressive strength, flexural strength, and tensile splitting strength compared to reference concrete. However, for HPC with CS, a slight decrease in the elastic modulus and UPV was obtained. The SEM analysis showed a very good adhesion of the cement paste to the slag aggregate.

The numerical results are validated by their comparison with the experimental data. The testing results indicate that the geometric parameters as well as number of arrays in different directions have a significant effect on the quasi-static and dynamic compression twist angle per axial strain and the effective modulus. Interestingly, the values of the twist angle per axial strain under static and dynamic compression are almost the same under the same strain, but the effective modulus decreases more sharply under dynamic loading conditions, which may be due to inertia.

Experimental results showed that the SR process improved the comprehensive tensile properties of the alloy, increasing the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation from 192.6, 234.4 MPa, and 21.7% for the pre-extruded alloy to 252.3, 289 MPa, and 39.5%, respectively.

This study investigates the effectiveness of different anchorage systems for PBO (p-Phenylene Benzobis Oxazole) fibers in FRCM composites used for strengthening reinforced concrete slabs. A series of unidirectionally bent RC slabs were tested under four-point bending: an unstrengthened control element, slabs strengthened with PBO-FRCM without anchorage, with bar anchorage (GFRP bar in a groove), and with cord anchorage (PBO cord through the slab). The research focused on analyzing the load-deflection behavior and key strain mechanisms that influence structural performance. The findings indicate that a single layer of PBO-FRCM increases bending capacity, raises yield load, and delays initial cracking. Most significantly, the research reveals substantial differences in composite mesh utilization efficiency.
