The obtained results demonstrate the good properties of the joint in terms of strength and deformation capacity, control of story drift, easy reparability, and preventing beams and columns from damage.
The TEAM 05 is selected for this work in principle due to its high stability and development to prevent beam damage by reducing the electron beam dose rate with the use of the integrated monochromator.
Tabatabai et al. found that surface treatments (coatings) applied to the end zones of precast/prestressed concrete bridge girders at the time of construction can successfully prevent beam end corrosion (Tabatabai et al. 2005).
A concept for a seal protection system has been developed to prevent beam line contamination reaching the valve components and to protect the valve plate from surface heating by plasma radiation.
Low temperatures are often employed to prevent beam damage, and a number of commercial stages designed for other spectroscopic or microscopic applications, such as the Linkam FTIR600 (Linkam Scientific Instruments, Guildford, Surrey, UK), have been adapted for XFI experiments.
Longitudinal rebars and full-depth stirrups adjacent to openings and short stirrups in the chords prevented beam-type and frame-type shear failures.
Whenever possible, the patient should lay supine on the table, with the arms bent over the head in order to prevent beam-hardening artefacts; if that position cannot be obtained, the patient's arms should be placed flexed on a large pillow ventrally to the patient's chest [25].
The first 27 frames of the movie were excluded from the analysis so as to prevent beam-induced movement from interfering with the results.
Adding web stiffeners and two tubes at the center of voids were effective in preventing excessive beam flange/web buckling.
In most systems, however, the mounts of some of the lens elements cut into the oblique beams and prevent the beams from being perfectly circular, and the pupils are then not fully filled with light.
