Sentence examples for multiple fine cracks from inspiring English sources

Although multiple fine cracks were found in the SHCC specimens, the total crack width in SHCC specimens were significantly higher than in the mortar specimens.

The main feature of SHCC is the formation of multiple fine cracks and increased or maintained tensile resistance upon increased deformation whilst more cracks appear.

Multiple fine cracks and smaller crack spacing of SHCC (see Fig. 6a) are believed to be the main reason for micro-cell corrosion in R/SHCC specimens.

One of the novel mechanical properties of strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) is that they exhibit multiple fine cracks and strain hardening in tension.

The experimental results indicates that even after formation of multiple fine cracks under applied load, the HPFRCC remains impermeable due to its very small crack width.

Experimental results revealed that all DFRGCs, regardless of their type of activator combinations, exhibited deflection hardening behavior accompanied by multiple fine cracks in bending.

Under both loading conditions, the bending behaviour of the TRC-FC composite elements was characterized by favourable load bearing capacity, partial composite action, superior ductility and multiple fine cracking.

Concentration of chloride ions is likely not localized in SHCC due to the multiple fine and finely spaced cracks in SHCC, so the corroded depths caused by the ions are not deep.

That means specimens with more reinforcing steels are advantageous in control of crack width, although more fine cracks are expected.
