The purpose of Buddhist prayer is to consciously focus our attention, refine our intention and elevate our altruistic enlightenment aspirations, thus awakening our inherent inner capacities of strength, compassion and wisdom -- rather than to petition external forces based on fear, idolizing, and worldly and/or heavenly gain.
The stress and deflection curves, residual strength, and energy absorption capacity obtained from the experiment were used to investigate the flexural capacity of high strength polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete, particularly in high strength concrete.
The reinforcing effect of the high strength polypropylene fiber in the flexural capacity of high strength concrete was excellent at volume fractions more than 0.50%.
This paper verifies the applicability of STM for predicting the shear capacity of high strength concrete (HSC) deep beams without web reinforcement.
Sandwich structures have been extensively employed as lightweight composite components in aerospace and shipbuilding engineering for their high capacity of stiffness, strength and energy absorption.
This research investigates the shear lag effect on the behaviour and ultimate tensile capacity of high strength steel (HSS) tension angles with bolted and welded connections.
The influence of transverse reinforcement spacings on load bearing capacity of high strength concrete (HSC) columns at ambient temperature has been the subject of many research projects, both experimental and theoretical.
This paper verifies the applicability of resistance-demand procedure for predicting the shear capacity of high strength concrete beams without web reinforcement.
Increased effective bond lengths for all three conditions necessitates the design of bond length longer than the effective bond length of unexposed conditions for achieving the full capacity of bond strength in long term.
Among all the models in predicting the shear capacity of high strength SFRC beams with a/d ≥ 2.5 and plain, crimped and hooked fibers (HS-SB-PCH), as shown in Table 7, the equations proposed by Li et al. (1992) was most inaccurate, and those recommended by Ashour et al. (1992) underestimated the shear capacity of HS-SB-PCH beams.
