Sentence examples for bridging behaviour from inspiring English sources

The crack bridging behaviour of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs) under fatigue tensile loading is investigated experimentally in this paper.

The primary aim is to develop a robust numerical tool and guidelines for designing Z-pins with optimal bridging behaviour.

The results advance the fundamental understanding of how chain length can substantially alter inter-particle bridging behaviour under different conditions, and thus provide a more robust basis for enhanced dewatering of clay suspensions through flocculant MW selection.

63 75 77 However, gaps can also be useful: structural holes in networks, 78 79 for example, offer opportunities for bridging behaviours.

Based on the models, the influence of the Young's modulus of the backfill on the bridge behaviour is investigated.

A number of advanced NDE and conventional methodologies will be used to monitor the bridge behaviour during its service life.

The algorithm is applied in bridge engineering, analysing bridge behaviour considering dynamic loading, creep and shrinkage material models and further considering geometric nonlinear effects.

Finally, a worked example of a two-span continuous railway bridge is presented and effects of intermediate beam-to-beam joint characteristics on the bridge behaviour are discussed.

Alterations to be made to this initial model, to reflect the changes in bridge behaviour due to occurrence of damage, are determined using a time-domain approach.

Furthermore, the full characterisation of the bridge behaviour was of utmost importance in the design of a control system based on tuned mass dampers that is discussed in a companion paper.

The virtual wind tunnel (VWT) technique developed by the authors joins together accurate section model testing with computer aided design in order to obtain a detailed computer visualization of the complete bridge behaviour under wind flow.
