The methodology used in this research is effective for evaluating the strength anisotropy of a brittle rock.
The proposed new test method is found to be effective for evaluating the mechanical behaviour of coatings under the stress conditions encountered during real-life applications.
Using sample loan data for testing, the KBS prototype is demonstrated to be effective for evaluating the quality of auditing commercial loans.
In the pull-out tests, the self-measurement function of the SEGB was proved to be effective for evaluating the deformation behavior of geosynthetic reinforcement.
The results demonstrated that all the proposed shear test methods were effective for evaluating the quality of bonding among layers in CLT panels; however, the practical applicability of the methods led to elect the most suitable for inclusion in technical standards.
Therefore, the proposed model can be effective for evaluating the depth of a surface-breaking crack in concrete.
(3) The proposed model for the surface wave transmission coefficient is demonstrated to be effective for evaluating the depth of a surface-breaking crack in concrete.
The surface wave transmission (SWT) method has been demonstrated to be effective for evaluating surface-breaking or sub-surface defects in concrete structures.
The template was chosen as it was found to be effective for evaluating AALFI and it provided clear guidelines and a method to automatically calculate metrics relating to the usability.
For plate-like concrete structures (deck, slab, wall, etc)., the ultrasonic surface wave (USW) technique has been demonstrated to be effective for evaluating material damages caused by many sources: ASR, DEF, freeze-and-thaw, and corrosion of reinforcing steel (Gucunski et al. 2013).
It was demonstrated through numerical simulations and experimental studies that the SWT method is effective for evaluating the depth of surface-breaking cracks in concrete structures (Hevin et al. 1998; Kee 2011; Kee and Zhu 2011; Popovics et al. 2000; Shin et al. 2008; Song et al. 2003).
