In other words, usefulness has become such a powerful educational paradigm that the cultural foundations of the West, our own 体, risk becoming subject to the pure assessment of their serviceability 用.
Minimal add-ons on spacecraft to enhance their serviceability may protect them for a changing future in which satellite servicing may become mainstream.
It is now well-known that, under pedestrian excitation, flexible footbridges can exhibit large-amplitude vibrations that impact their serviceability.
Thermal cracking can pose a threat to a mass concrete structure increasing concerns over their serviceability and performance.
The cracking of concrete structures can drastically reduce their serviceability, specifically by inducing a decrease in bearing capacity while their permeability and diffusivity are being increased.
Sharp (1977) concerned with the general behavior in shear of single-span reinforced concrete deep beams and in particular the effects of web openings on their ultimate strength and serviceability.
Symmetric mid-span load tests on five beams – one all-GFRP and four CFRP stiffened GFRP beams – are described and mid-span deflections, support rotations are used to establish the accuracy of the analysis for predicting their deflection serviceability limits and, hence, their possible utility for the preliminary design of such beams.
Such a baseline allows the use of detected changes to drive proactive maintenance and preservation interventions, or more refined assessment approaches, to ensure the on-going safety, serviceability, and durability of the structure.
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are subjected to environmental actions affecting their performance, serviceability and safety.
