Sentence examples for reinforcing index from inspiring English sources

In addition, Ou et al. (2011) investigated the compressive stress strain behavior of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) with a high reinforcing index, which was defined as the product of fiber volume fraction and fiber aspect ratio.

In particular, this study discussed the reinforcing index (R.I).

Open image in new window Fig. 7 Effect of reinforcing index on Δf ps. a Effect of reinforcing index on Δf ps of selected sections and b Effect of reinforcing index and PPR on M cr /M service.

By increasing the reinforcing index, the first crack load decreases and ultimate strength slightly increases.

Results showed that the compressive strength decreases as the reinforcing index increases in a nonlinear trend.

The key parameter discussed in this study is the reinforcing index.

In this study, nonlinear flexural analyses were performed on a total of 1248 prestressed concrete members with various sectional types, partial prestressing ratios, reinforcing indices, yield strengths of nonprestressed reinforcements, and effective prestresses, based on which a simple method was proposed to estimate the net tensile stress (Δf ps ) of the prestressing strands at the service loads.

In this study, the nonlinear flexural analyses were conducted on 1248 prestressed concrete (PSC) sections with the various section shapes, section sizes, partial prestressing ratios, reinforcing indices, yield strengths of the nonprestressed reinforcements, and effective prestresses.

In the parametric study, the levels of effective prestresses were the key parameter, and various ranges of section sizes, partial prestressing ratios, reinforcing indices, and yield strengths of nonprestressed reinforcements were also included.

The PCS60 values increased with increase in the reinforcing indices.

Similarly, the retained strength had a higher amount when the PCS24 values increased with increase in the reinforcing indices.
