External bonding, as a way of strengthening, has introduced a new type of failure mode, namely debonding (peeling).
The discrete FRP U-strips instead of continuous FRP sheets were used in this study, allowing a better observation on the failure process/failure mode of the strengthened beams.
Not only does the biology of Cox-2 in kidney development support our hypothesis that these promoter allelic variants are responsible for RD in dogs, but the fact that the mutations are located just upstream of the ATG translation start site justifies the mode of inheritance strengthens our argument as mutations that are dominant with incomplete penetrance, can be mutations in regulatory sequences.
The concept of failure mode transition, which is dependent on the amount of strengthening, is introduced in the practical design procedure, and a criterion for selecting the strengthening ratio is developed.
Patients will be encouraged to use their preferred exercise mode to strengthen the possibility of them maintaining a physically active lifestyle when the supervised exercise programme has been completed.
The performance of strengthening technique is determined by examining strength, stiffness, ductility, energy dissipation capacity and failure modes.
The failure modes of the strengthened beams comprised the CFRP plate debonding or plate rupture, depending on the strengthening system (passive or active) and some system parameters, as the CFRP modulus of elasticity, end plate anchoring and plate prestressing level.
Mode-of-action models strengthen science in two important ways.
Applied dynamic loads, strains and the failure modes of the strengthened arch by adhering and anchoring CFRP strips were revealed.
While the prestressed FRP strips could be anchored by epoxy through the near surface mounting, the failure modes of beams strengthened with this technique might be the debonding of epoxy- concrete interface and delamination of the concrete cover.
