Sentence examples for rigid reinforcement from inspiring English sources

Encased beams have been used as rigid reinforcement in deck bridges for several decades.

Addition of 6% (wt/wt) of MAPP resulted in a significant enhancement in the tensile strength in line with the improvement of the fiber matrix interfacial adhesion making more effective the transfer of stress from the matrix to the rigid reinforcement.

While in most of the earlier applications, these layers are reinforced using steel plates, recent studies propose to replace "rigid" steel reinforcement with "flexible" fiber reinforcement to reduce both the cost and weight of the units/systems.

The tensile strength, stiffness and resistance to stress relaxation of the composites are significantly increased, even at relatively low concentrations of the rigid rod reinforcement.

The objective of the current paper is to investigate if it is possible to improve the performance of such flexures via utilizing the reinforcement rigid element in an asymmetric manner.

Basically, geo-grid is not as rigid as conventional steel reinforcement and its reliability of anchorage with flexure reinforcement in the form of hoop under severe earthquake may advocate the use of another alternative path not only for resisting the flexure and shear but also to make more effective confinement in the form randomly distributed steel fiber in reinforced concrete (SFRC).

Some studies on the performance of a rigid wall with reinforced backfill (i.e., reinforcement not attached to the wall) are reported in the literature.

Broms [8] was the first to report about the rigid wall with reinforced backfill with unattached continuous fabric reinforcement.

With its numerical scales and reinforcement of rigid business hierarchies, the annual evaluation would seem uniquely designed for the postmodern age.

Using finite element analysis and molecular calculations, we conclude polymer chain confinement and mechanical reinforcement by rigid supramolecular nanofibers are responsible for the anisotropic actuation.

Most of the available analysis programs assume rigid joints regardless of reinforcement details in the joint region.
