The distribution substations, primary distribution systems, and the interaction between them contribute to the load point reliability worth indices.
This is expected to increase the load-bearing capacity of the MWNCTs because the inner walls contribute to the load transfer, which is very effective for improving the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of the composites.
With regard to peri-implant bone, cortical and trabecular compartments both contribute to the load transfer from the implant to the surrounding bone but their relative roles have yet to be investigated in detail.
It is observed that steel stirrups contribute to the load carrying capacity of the cross-section after initiation of the slippage between the G/E beams and the concrete slab.
Unlike the steel subassemblies, notable compressive axial forces were developed in beams of the composite subassembly subjected to sagging deflection at the early loading stages, indicating arching action contributed to the load resistance at small deformation as well as the initial stiffness.
This paper presents a development of reinforced ultra-high toughness cementitious composite (UHTCC) participating permanent formwork, which acts as a self-supporting formwork during construction and contributes to the load capacity and durability of the concrete member through the service life of the structure.
A key design component for piled rafts is the proportion of load carried by the raft and piles, as both contribute to the load-carrying behavior of piled rafts.
Irreversible deformation of composites occurred as a result of mechanical compression accompanied by the release of pectins, and our results showed that both cellulose and pectin contributed to the load-bearing capacity of composites during compression.
In fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC), on the other hand, fibers crossing the crack interfaces significantly contribute to the load-carrying mechanism so that considerable tensile stress, being the sum of the tensile resistance provided by fibers and tension softening of the concrete matrix, respectively, can be achieved even with large crack widths (Lee et al. 2011).
