The in-plane shear behaviour of URM wallettes strengthened using near surface mounted high strength twisted stainless steel reinforcement (TSNSM) was investigated and in particular, the effectiveness of the reinforcing schemes to restrain the diagonal cracking failure mode was studied.
Combined with six seats' different stresses and structure characteristics respectively, the corresponding optimization reinforcing schemes were designed.
Reinforcing schemes ensure the safe running of locomotives after life extension, and the scheme provides a reference for modification and reinforcement of other locomotives and vehicles.
Taking proper advantage of FRP materials should involve getting away from the paradigm of replacing steel with FRR and toward the development of innovative reinforcing schemes which would make both FRP materials and concrete construction more cost effective.
It was observed that the maximum strength and deformation capacity, as well as the cracking pattern and failure mode, of the repaired walls was similar to that of undamaged walls that were strengthened with the same reinforcing schemes.
After selection of a reinforcement scheme, the stability of the reinforced rock mass is re-assessed.
Not only do some practices by search engine companies pose a threat for democracy and democratic ideals, other practices (in which search engine companies are arguably complicit) reinforce censorship schemes currently used by non-democratic nations.
Reinforcing the CO schemes of service are other policy documents such as the Norms and Standards for Health Service Delivery [ 38].
As of June 2010 there have been no further annual reports published on the scheme, again reinforcing the point around the control of evidence.
