Sentence examples for reinforcement stiffness from inspiring English sources

The study found that among the two main components of lateral facing displacement, the deformation of reinforced soil zone was largely governed by reinforcement spacing and reinforcement stiffness, while the influence of reinforcement length was negligible.

The CEB model developed for tensile RC members integrates the tension stiffening effect through an increase in reinforcement stiffness.

The influences of backfill creep, reinforcement creep, reinforcement stiffness, reinforcement length and reinforcement spacing were analyzed.

The effect of construction rate on the reinforcement stiffness at the critical stage is examined.

The investigations are conducted to examine the influence of reinforcement, stiffness and Poison's ratio of backfill and foundation strata on the performance of a rigid wall.

Experimental results showed that the magnitude of accumulated facing lateral displacement under base excitation decreased with increasing reinforcement length, greater number of reinforcement layers and larger reinforcement stiffness.

Numerically predicted and measured maximum reinforcement loads are compared to loads using the AASHTO reinforcement strength-based design approach (Simplified Method) and the Simplified Stiffness Method which is an empirical reinforcement stiffness-based method.

Most of the CFRP-reinforced slabs experienced brittle failure, while most of the GFRP reinforced slabs with reinforcement axial stiffness equivalent to that of the CFRP reinforced slabs kept their integrity even after failure, thereby avoiding brittle modes of failure.

Test results including crack patterns, load deflection curves, strains in steel, serviceability loads and ultimate loads are presented and discussed with the effects of support stiffness and web reinforcement.

Since most reinforced concrete beams with stirrups have longitudinal and transverse reinforcements without any inclined steel reinforcements, the stiffness matrix for steel reinforcements can be simply evaluated from the following equation.

As the web shear element is composed of both concrete and reinforcement, the stiffness matrix [D] is evaluated through the superposition of a stiffness matrix for concrete [D c ] and a stiffness matrix for steel reinforcements [D s ] described as follows: [D] = [D_{c}]+ [D_{s} ] (12).
