In addition, Imani et al. (2010) adopted this test method because debonding of externally bonded FRP mainly occurs due to Mode II (shear) fracture.
Promising results have been obtained from flexural strengthening of concrete elements using the grooving method in its special form of externally bonded reinforcement in grooves (EBRIG) to postpone CFRP debonding and load carrying capacity enhancement.
We have also engineered novel methods for externally controlling protein activity and delivery, as well as developed new strategies for the directed evolution of protein and enzyme function.
Currently, pupils in year two – the final year of key stage one in English primary schools – are assessed by their teachers, which critics say is an unreliable method of assessment compared with externally marked exams.
In addition, in recent years, Grooving method (GM) in its special form of Externally Bonded Reinforcement On Grooves (EBROG) has been proposed as an alternative to conventional method of surface preparation in EBR method.
Recently a new method for flexural strengthening of concrete beams with FRP sheets, named as grooving method (GM) with the special technique of externally bonded reinforcement on grooves (EBROG), has been introduced as alternative to conventional externally bonded reinforcement (EBR).
This paper presents results of tests conducted as a proof-of-concept in the effectiveness of a proposed method using externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites to rapidly repair severely damaged RC columns with different damage conditions.
The efficiency of the proposed strengthening method using externally applied post-tension rods in reinforced concrete external beam-column joints, which do not comply with any code requirements, is investigated.
In this work eight fractions of H. perforatum, obtained by an externally developed method of fractionation devised to separate main constituents of the plant, were examined.
The subsequent stages are dedicated to the selection of an adequate biosurfactant introduction method either the addition of externally produced biosurfactants (ex situ methods) or possible stimulation of biosurfactant production on-site (in situ methods).
