Based on the concept of the anchorage length beyond the last crack, the calculation gives a good approximation of the ultimate bond stress in the cross-section located at the last crack.
Based on the behavior of the ductile anchorage systems, it is apparent that this system was designed specifically for Type III applications.
This study evaluates the behavior and failure characteristics of bond-type anchorage systems based on the results of 40 pullout tests with different mortar fillers and diameters of the anchorage sleeve.
An innovative anchorage procedure, called the "gradient anchorage method" and based on the possible accelerated curing of the epoxy-resin in the end region of the FRP strip, has recently been conceived with the aim of avoiding more invasive mechanical fastening systems.
The model is proven to provide reasonable predictions in anchorage strength based on the available data.
Optimization techniques are employed to best determine anchorage details required, based on the Localized Random Search and the Generalized Reduced Gradient associated with established design approaches.
To verify the specificity of the selection hits, we carried out two alternative selection procedures, one based on serum withdrawal, and therefore not involving anchorage independence, and the other based on the crossing of a transwell membrane and "diving" to the bottom of the plate, more directly linked to anchorage independence.
Finally, based on the distribution of bond stress along the embedded length, the anchorage position function was ascertained and then an accurate bond slip relationship was built, which was significant in structural design and numerical simulation.
Based on the roles played by GM3S expression in migration/invasion and anchorage-independent growth of breast cancer cells described above, we next examined the effects of GM3S silencing on tumor formation and metastasis of breast cancer cells.
Predictably, overexpression of miR-421 increased anoikis resistance, based on the colony formation assay in which the overexpression increased colony size and numbers in anchorage independent condition.
