The effects of the static confining stress on the swelling characteristics of GCLs and the hydration time under different confining stresses were explored. Increasing the static confining stress led to: shorter hydration time; smaller final GCL height; less final GCL bulk void ratio; smaller final bentonite moisture content. The confined swell pressure determined for the tested GCL was 82.2 kPa, and the relationships between confining stress, final bulk void ratio (or final GCL height, final bentonite moisture content) were attained through the analyses of the confined swell test results in this study.展开更多

However, in the case of composite laminates, mechanical joint properties decrease because of lower interlaminar properties compared to in-plane properties around hole.?This study investigated needle punching process with the aim of improving the mechanical properties in the thickness direction of fiber-reinforced plastic composite laminates with an open hole. Needle punching process was applied to glass fiber chopped strand matused as the reinforcement for the composite laminates. Open-hole tensile tests and observations of end cross-sections after the tests were performed. The tensile properties and fracture mechanism of the specimens subjected to needle punching process were investigated. In addition, characteristic distance (a parameter for evaluating resistance to fracture in open-hole tensile test specimens) was also calculated to examine the effects of needle punching process conditions on fracture toughness. Tensile strength was improved by more than 15% by needle punching process. However, when a certain needle punching density was exceeded, the mechanical properties worsened. In addition, characteristic distance increased with increasing needle punching density. Thus, these results suggest that there is an optimal needle punching density with respect to strength and characteristic distance.展开更多

Applica- tion of various fungicides were evaluated in vivo at dif- ferent concentrations. However in both, mist-chamber and poly-chamber, the Blue pine （Pinus wallichiana Jackson） seedlings treated with hexaconazole 5EC （@ 0.03 %） or carbendazim 50WP （@ 0.1%） depicted significantly less disease incidence and intensity. The seedlings treated with mancozeb 75WP （@ 0.3 %） and chlorothalonil 75WP （@ 0.3 %） exhibited less disease incidence and intensity. Increase in relative humidity from 60 to 100 % signifi- cantly enhanced needle blight disease incidence and intensity. In field trial the fungitoxicants used either as single spray or protectant followed by systemic fungitoxi- cant spray significantly reduced disease incidence in Blue pine compared to check. The mean disease incidence in fungitoxicant treated plants varied from 11.82 to 25.51% as compared to 36.03 % in control.展开更多

The calculation results indicate that stress distribution of holed geotextile cross-section is greatly related to the dimension of the specimen, the size of the hole, the shape of the hole and the tensile condition, and the stress concentration area of holed geotextile from the side of the hole to 3-4 times of the hole diameter should be strengthened in order to improve quality of the projects. These results could provide guidance for engineering application of geotextiles.展开更多
