Increasing the beam height also largely improved the collapse resistance under the beam mechanism, but had limited impact to that under the catenary mechanism.
In contrast, increasing the slab reinforcement by expanding the slab thickness marginally improved the collapse resistance under the catenary mechanism but contributed little to that under the beam mechanism.
It is observed that the collapse capacities of the prototype frames mainly depended on axial force-carrying capacities of the columns in the lower stories rather than those of the beams and that the use of strong columns improves the collapse capacities of the prototype frames.
Numerical results indicated that the three repair jackets can effectively improve the bridge collapse capacity by approximately 20% under severe MS-severe AS even though they cannot restore the initial stiffness of damaged columns.
To improve the congestion collapse problem, the early TCP protocol prompted the study of end-to-end congestion avoidance and control algorithms [1].
The mechanical behavior of the new beam section with kinked rebar was used to relocate the plastic hinges and to successfully improve the calculated progressive collapse resistance of the RC frame.
It is well-known that both a collapse in public and a witnessed collapse improve the chances of surviving an OHCA [ 9].
PEEP > 5cmH2O might aid in the prevention of alveolar collapse, improve the oxygenation state, and reduce ventilator-induced lung injury [ 24].
But just as quickly as they improved, the Nets collapsed, losing 11 of 15 games, seven of which could be traced to poor execution in the waning moments.
Treatments that hasten this collapse could improve the efficacy of B-cell depletion treatment in RA.
