Combining these observations, a general function for Vinculin in force-dependent junction reinforcement becomes apparent.
The average values of Paris' law exponential coefficients were similar and within the range of literature values, without apparent correlation with reinforcement type.
Damage is classified as significant according to ATC 32 criteria if a permanent offset is apparent, if the reinforcement has yielded, or if major concrete spalling has occurred (Rojahn et al. 1997).
For this purpose, the geometric effect is evaluated by the resistivity estimation model (REM) that estimates the apparent resistivity above the reinforcement.
In addition, the pH value nearby the reinforcement and the apparent electrical resistivity of concretes after ECR were measured.
The experimental results validate in general the predictions of the analytical model presented; however, the theoretical model is not able to predict the energy dissipation observed in specimens without passive reinforcement, and the apparent larger initial flexibility in the element force displacement relationship.
Zamoyski at first wanted to avoid a large battle, as he hoped for more reinforcements and supplies, but, when it became apparent that Maximilian would be reinforced first, he decided to press an attack.
An additional source of apparent strengthening – in situ precipitation of reinforcement during deformation – is also discussed.
Degradation is very apparent; the concrete cover of the reinforcement is greatly reduced.
Thus, we cannot simply assume rational expectation of reward based on neither previous stimulus reinforcement nor direct variation of apparent probability, particularly within gambling type tasks.
As expected, the factor of safety (FOS) of a slope increases as the root reinforcement properties (i.e. apparent root cohesion and depth of root zone) increase.
