Sentence examples for maximum longitudinal reinforcement from inspiring English sources

Twelve beams (three for each concrete type and strength) were designed to preclude flexural and shear failures and satisfy the minimum and maximum longitudinal reinforcement requirements of ACI 318-08 (American Concrete Institute ACI Committee 2008).

Eight beams (six without shear reinforcing and two with shear reinforcing in the form of stirrups) with three different longitudinal reinforcement ratios for each concrete type were designed to preclude flexural failure and satisfy the minimum and maximum longitudinal reinforcement requirements of ACI 318-11.

The strain gauges were installed on the lower layer of the bottom longitudinal reinforcement at midspan (maximum flexural moment location) and quarter point along the span (middle of the shear test region).

The shear strength was formulated in terms of several effective parameters such as shear span to depth ratio, concrete cylinder strength at date of testing, amount of longitudinal reinforcement, lever arm, and maximum specified size of coarse aggregate.

Three different kinds of longitudinal reinforcement are adopted; carbon fiber reinforced polymer, AFRP, and GFRP.

The impact of optimal longitudinal reinforcement on the curvature ductility capacity of reinforced concrete column sections.

Ten different longitudinal reinforcement ratios (with a minimum of 0.2% and a maximum of 2.5%) covering the range from under-reinforced to over-reinforced beam behavior were used in the testing program.

The parametric studies show that the influences of the height and the length of the wall and the distribution of longitudinal reinforcement were reasonably captured by the proposed method when the maximum tensile strain in the flange was close to the yielding strain of the longitudinal reinforcing bars.

The results indicate that HSC columns, reinforced with well-distributed and laterally supported longitudinal reinforcement, exhibit improved ductility.

Thereby, the maximum shear capacity is mainly affected by the aggregate interlock mechanism, the dowel action of longitudinal reinforcement, the restraining action of stressed reinforcement crossing the crack interface and the possible presence of stirrups.

In Fig. 15, in the negative direction of loading, the maximum lateral load was greater than that in the positive direction of loading because the top longitudinal reinforcement ratio of beams was greater than the bottom longitudinal reinforcement ratio.
