Because the compositions of both sample subsets are similar to those of mudstones from the recently active Nankai accretionary prism and forearc, the results can be used to make some predictions about the strength and frictional behavior of the deeper parts of the Nankai active margin and the décollement at its base.
In order to investigate the effect of axial loads on the structural behaviors of the deep RC beams, specimens are prepared to have different shear span-to-depth ratios and subjected to axial loads of 235 kN or 470 kN.
Crack patterns and behavior of the tested deep beams were observed during four-point loading tests.
If HA is forced to exist in a highly crowded environment, or more generally if its density within the loose connective tissue inside the fascia is increased as a result of injury or other pathological process, the behavior of the whole deep fascia and of the underlying connective tissue epimysium and perimysium could be compromised.
Shear behavior and performance of the deep beams made with NC and SCC were systematically investigated in terms of crack pattern, failure mode, and load deflection response.
Thus, more systematical experiments and theoretical approaches on shear behavior and performance of the deep beam made with SCC should be made.
The test results showed the good behavior of the steel plate deep beams infill steel frame, mainly improving the strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the steel frame.
The experimental data provided by this paper helps to gain a better understanding and enhance the experimental database of the shear behavior of preloaded RC deep beams with openings strengthened with the AFRP sheet.
This should indicate that on average, SLLL runs faster than LLL, as also consistently confirmed by the fitting results to the green and red lines; and (c) the average behavior of DEEP tends to decrease with the increase of m (compare the black lines of panel D of Figures 2, 3, and 4), implying that the average running behaviors of DEEP may be polynomial.
Within the past decade, there has been numerous studies conducted regarding the strength and behavior of RC deep beams with openings (Ashour and Rishi 2000; Campione and Minafò 2012; El Maaddawy and Sherif 2009; Mansur and Alwis 1984; Shanmugam and Swaddiwudhipong 1988; Zhang et al. 2004).
