COMPARISON STUDY ON BEARING CAPACITY OF CIRCULAR AND DIAMOND HOLE LAMINATES UNDER SHEAR LOAD by GAO Wei, YAO XiongHua, ZHANG WenJun

“…The results show: under the premise of the same laminate weight, the same hole accessibility and the same stacking angle information, the load-carrying capacity of the laminate with diamond hole is greater than that of the laminate with circular hole; based on the nonlinear continuum damage mechanics（CDM）, the fiber damage is predicted by using the maximum strain failure criterion, and the matrix damage is predicted by using the three-dimensional nonlinear puck failure criterion A three-dimensional finite element model of laminate is established and numerical simulation is carried out. …”

Compressive stress-strain relationship of limestone calcined clay cement-based UHPC matrix by Kunjie Fan, Peng Du, Yao Yao

“…With the optimal mix, the 28-day compressive strength of 104 MPa can be achieved without employing any special curing, silica fume or fibers. Furthermore, adding an appropriate amount of LC2 (no more than 30 %) to UHPC matrix is found to reduce the nonlinearity of compressive stress-strain relationships, thereby minimizing the plastic deformation of LC3-UHPC matrix. …”
