In some cases, the beam longitudinal reinforcement is not properly anchored in the beam-column joint Otani (2002; see Figure 3a) or there is no adequate transverse reinforcement in the joints (see Figure 3b,c).
However, the level of reinforcement is not properly predicted by the usual mechanical models and it is qualitatively accounted for by assuming a composition gradient (interphase) between the hard domains and the matrix.
Navistar is recalling 340 buses made by IC Bus, a subsidiary, because some vehicles were built without the "floor channel reinforcements" needed to properly anchor the seats to the floor.
To ensure that the oil and gas are properly contained, reinforcement pads are cut to support the pressure head nozzles.
Therefore, connectors must be designed for out-of-plane lateral force to ensure that masonry wall and TRM reinforcement layer work together properly.
The immediate task, administration officials said, is to get properly equipped reinforcements to Freetown.
With properly designed NITINOL reinforcement, it is shown that the beams can become stiffer and less susceptible to buckling.
The research demonstrates that the use of CFRP anchors increases the resistance and the dissipation capability of the reinforcement if the anchors are properly placed.
It is widely accepted that the 100% CUP is an effective measure in the prevention and control of HIV infection among sex workers because of the reduction of STI incidence and prevalence and the reinforcement of behaviour change if properly implemented [ 7, 8].
