However, a 500 nm section depth is deemed thick.
Regions near the center of core excluding the pebble at 60 cm and two data gaps at 36.1 cm and 74.0 cm are chosen to show CT number variations in Fig. 5. CT numbers in each voxel of reconstructed CT image are plotted as a function of core section depth.
The experimental results indicate that section depth has a slight influence on the shear cracking behavior, and stud anchor spacing has a significant influence on the overall failure mode.
These models were then used in a detailed parametric study to investigate the web crippling capacities of a wide range of LCB sections including different sectional geometric parameters such as section depth, inside bent radius, thickness and bearing length.
The solid line represents a moving average of 10 CT numbers for the core section depth using 15 profiles.
The beam and column members were discretized into elements equal to the cross section depth.
At this cross section depth, density by mass/volume method is rather high.
The increase rate is ranged from 29.2% to 47.5% for the identical tests for the effect of section depth.
The difference between the transfer lengths at the cut end and dead end was reduced by increasing the section depth.
The parameters considered in the experimental investigations were the section depth, steel faceplate (longitudinal) reinforcement ratio, shear span-to-depth ratio and shear connector (stud anchor) spacing.
