This study deals with the seismic behaviour of SFRC coupling beams using conventional reinforcements and develops a simplified model that applies the Mohr-coulomb failure criterion to predict the seismic shear strength of SFRC coupling beams.
This type of splice can provide continuity of reinforcement between precast elements and develop quality connections maintaining structural integrity.
Li et al. (2012) formulated a semi-Markov decision model and developed a reinforcement learning based on Q-learning algorithm for the problem of an MTO firm.
Deformation Reinforcement Theory (DRT) is elaborated and developed with a definition of instability that an elasto-plastic structure is not stable if it is unable to satisfy simultaneously equilibrium condition, kinematical admissibility and constitutive equations under given external loads.
In this study aluminium alloy (LM6) is used as matrix metal and rice husk ash (RHA) as reinforcement for developing a new metal matrix composite material.
I believed, and still do, that empathy is bred in the bone and developed through encouragement and reinforcement by good role models.
A general Fatigue Prediction Model (FPM) of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams strengthened using prestressed FRP reinforcement was developed and presented in this paper.
When the reinforcement corroded without developing cracks in the concrete and with less than 5%% local corrosion, the tensile strength values of those specimens were similar to and/or higher than that of the control specimen.
If M-form populations are gradually expanding or shifting their range over time due to ecological changes and carrying reinforcement mechanisms developed through preceding contact with members of S-form populations, then it may expected that the M form would be generally less susceptible to introgression.
In this study, various retrofit methods for concrete columns with non-seismic reinforcement details were developed and investigated: steel jacketing, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping, concrete jacketing with non-shrinkage mortar, and new concrete jacketing with amorphous metallic fiber (AMF) reinforced concrete.
In this paper, the mean bond stress model associated with steel strain (stress) level and the bond-strain model representing the relationship between bond stress and reinforcement strain are developed to simplify and improve the normal analysis on bond behavior in pre- and post-yield phases.
