Sentence examples for membrane action increases from inspiring English sources
Compressive membrane action increases both the capacity and stiffness of longitudinally-restrained reinforced concrete members.
It is widely recognized that Compressive Membrane Action (CMA), also called Arching Action, increases both the bending and punching capacities of reinforced concrete (RC) structures.
Furthermore, the effect of membrane action is found to increase structural resistance to column loss by 10% in comparison with the grillage model using EC4 effective width and tributary load distribution concepts.
This restraint to the longitudinal expansion of reinforced concrete members induces membrane stresses which can cause compressive membrane action (CMA), resulting in an increase in the structural capacities.
In a cast in-situ reinforced concrete (RC) beam-slab system, concurrent development of secondary mechanisms, i.e. catenary action in beams and tensile membrane action in slabs, may significantly increase load-carrying and deformation capacities of structures under missing column scenarios.
The activation of membrane action in reinforced concrete slabs can significantly increase the structural robustness by providing an alternate load path.
28 Cell-permeant ceramide inhibits keratinocyte proliferation and increases cytotoxicity by disrupting the mitochondrial membrane action potential.
After flexural yielding, membrane action developed in the slab due to the effectiveness of J-hook connectors in maintaining composite action which further increases its load carrying capacity after flexural yielding.
With large deformations, a simplified calculation method for catenary action and tensile membrane action is proposed.
The parametric study indicates that increasing the relative flexural or shear rigidities of the panel alters the behavior towards the plate bending mechanism thereby reducing the percentage of load carried by membrane action.
Open image in new window Fig. 14 Analytical diagram for tensile membrane action of frame slabs.
