Sentence examples for serviceability ratio from inspiring English sources
Therefore, the serviceability ratio, R sv, should be at least 0.75 (Eq. 5).
Yoo and Banthia (2015) also accurately predicted the service deflection of UHPFRC beams reinforced with GFRP rebar and hybrid reinforcements (steel + GFRP rebar), based on a micromechanics-based finite element (FE) analysis; the average ratios of the serviceability deflections from predictions and experiments were found to be 0.91 with a standard deviation of 0.07.
The experimental program was organized to highlight the benefits of this technique for flexural strengthening of RC beams with low reinforcement ratio, susceptible of not respecting serviceability-limit-state (SLS) conditions, namely the deflection limit.
Open image in new window Fig. 8 Mean repair costs grouped by associated engineering demand parameter (EDP); IDR interstorey drift ratio, ULS ultimate limit state, SLS serviceability limit state.
Generally, the serviceability performance of a beam is enhanced when the reinforcement ratio increases.
Since timber bridges are light-weight structures with a high life-load to death-load ratio, they are susceptible to vibration and thus satisfying vibration serviceability is a governing design criterion.
The simplified expressions for the evaluation of load-sharing ratio and a mobilized factor of safety of CPRF considering the serviceability requirement of the structure are also proposed.
The proposed bond model for splitting failure incorporating the C/D ratio used in the closed-form solution for prediction of the serviceability crack width was found to give good estimation of the experimental results obtained from the full-scale beam tests.
The problem is reduced to a nonlinear optimization problem under equality and inequality constraints as well as specified lower and upper bounds, which, together with large slenderness ratios, ensure the validity of the Euler Bernoulli theory and the serviceability of the beam.
In this scope, a parametric study was undertaken to address the serviceability LWAC beams under flexural loading for a complete range of longitudinal reinforcement ratios.
