Sentence examples for a strengthening system from inspiring English sources
The present study aims to develop a strengthening system using prestressing tendons embedded into an internal anchorage of concrete member.
However, the research work dealing with these emerging materials and their performances when used as a strengthening system for existing structures is still limited.
The context of the research is the study of the interfacial behaviour of a brittle substrate (masonry) and a thin elastic addition (the FRP) used as a strengthening system for historical structures.
The context in which the investigation is situated is the study of bond between fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets and quasi-brittle substrates, where FRP sheets are used as a strengthening system for existing structures.
Based on this peculiarity, D'Ambrisi and Focacci (2011) observed three possible failure modes when the FRCM was applied as a strengthening system: slippage of the fabric within the matrix, delamination of the FRCM from the substrate, and fracture surface within the concrete.
An extensive experimental program was undertaken in order to understand and characterize this composite when used as a strengthening system.
In this work, four different types of TRM are used as a shear strengthening system on RC beams tested until failure.
A fatigue strengthening system, using such multiple SMA wire system as underlay and CFRP patch as overlay, was applied to fatigue sensitive steel plates for fatigue life improvement evaluation.
To select and design an appropriate anchorage system for use in an FRP strengthening system, it is important that findings from previous research studies be known.
Because FRP failure is often sudden and brittle, Hall et al. (2002) found it desirable to design an anchorage system that would promote ductile failure of an FRP strengthening system for masonry shear walls.
Their models, while useful for determining the standalone anchorage strength, are difficult to apply to the design of an FRP strengthening system since the interaction between anchorage and anchored FRP was not studied.
