Based on the soil-structure interaction in one dimensional case and Timoshenko beam theory,a numerical approach for prediction of the dynamic responses and failure modes of structure under impulsive loadings is established by finite differential method,incorporating with the flexural and direct-shear failure criteria.

The compression-shear failure of steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) was studied by varying compressive stress and steel fiber content.

The experimental results show that the behavior of the shear compression failure mode is quite different from the diagonal tension failure mode although both shear failure modes are sudden and brittle.

Anisotropy of shear strength of layered rocks and determination of shear failure plane;

Research on point safety factor of shear failure geomaterials

Based upon shear strain gradient plastic theory of rock deformation localization, it is assumed that the failure pattern of rock in the shear band is shear failure.
