This study presents a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis to compare IVM strategies used by MCPs in Saint Johns County, Florida and Guayas, Ecuador.
On the other hand, the wallettes reinforced with GFRP presented non-uniform results, which does not allow for a definitive conclusion over their mechanical behaviour: the wallettes treated with putty presented a compressive strength increasing of 5% and 21%, while those that did not received the putty presented a strength improvement of 17%and49%9%, as shown in Table 6.
Note that most of the patients present a strength that lies under the smallest detectable difference, which may be of limited pertinence in this case.
This paper presents a new strength capacity model to account for the strength increase provided by FRP systems in the seismic retrofit of poorly detailed corner joints.
This presents a major strength of the proposed approach and very promising for many practical systems.
As shown in Fig. (11a), at early-age 0.5 day, concrete with a higher limestone content and a lower slag content presents a maximum strength.
While as shown in Fig. (11d), at late age 180 days, concrete with a higher slag content and a lower limestone content presents a maximum strength.
Compared with 9Cr2WVTa steel, Fe-Cr-W-Zr ferritic alloy with the Zr content of ~10 wt% presents a higher strength-ductility synergy at elevated temperature.
The paper presents a novel strength-based soft error emulation method targeting soft errors caused by transient pulses of magnitude less than logic threshold.
Grounding this work in a real life setting with observed measurements presents an important strength of the study design.
In the present work, a strength-based topology optimization method for structures with anisotropic materials is presented.
