Rumours abound of schemes to increase the firepower of the EFSF by expanding its ability to borrow, perhaps from the European Central Bank.Wolfgang Schäuble, Germany's Europhile finance minister, vows that the EFSF will not be topped up, but it is not clear that he is ruling out all forms of reinforcement.
Fracture of strengthening elements For certain forms of reinforcement an allowance for the fracture of the strengthening elements, i.e., FRP, GFRP may be necessary (Oehlers et al. 1994). .
Out-of-plane behaviour of mortared and mortarless masonry walls with various forms of reinforcement, including unreinforced masonry as a base case is examined using a layered shell element based explicit finite element modelling method.
To research the bending mechanical behaviors of pre-stressed steel concrete composite box beams and provide corresponding design specification and requirements, the tests of ten pre-stressed composite box beams were finished, and the effects on flexural behaviors were given for different initial pre-stress levels, the forms of reinforcement placement and loading method and so on.
Thus, this study can evaluate the effects of HRA-O with varying forms of reinforcement in a broad range of older persons.
In anatomical terms, the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and substantia nigra/ventral tegmental area (SN/VTA) have all been implicated in both novelty processing and certain forms of reinforcement learning [Duzel et al., 2009; Lisman and Grace, 2005; Ljungberg et al., 1992; Montague et al., 2004; Schultz, 1998, 2006].
Although various forms of reinforcements, including particles, fibers, and whiskers, have been applied to MMCs, pursuing a reinforcement material with ideal properties is still desirable to promote the development of high-performance MMCs.
Aluminium Matrix Composites (AMCs) reinforced with particulate form of reinforcement has replaced monolithic alloys in many engineering industries due to its superior mechanical properties and tailorable thermal and electrical properties.
This view contrasted with that of other psychologists who felt that some form of reinforcement, either positive or negative, was necessary to establish the association between stimulus and response.
Concrete is relatively weak in tension and may require some form of reinforcement to cope with tensile forces.
Although the concrete for rigid pavements is constructed in several different ways, these types of pavement systems will contain some form of reinforcement elements such as dowels, wire mesh, or deformed bars within the concrete.
