A parametric study shows that the effect of UR cycles on the punching resistance of concrete is normally small, however, it may be significant if the slab is strengthened after unloading, particularly for thin and low-reinforced slabs, which exhibited plastic slab rotations before unloading.
Most significant, succulent, sizzling slabs of steak, 10 tons a week, flow ceaselessly from the kitchen.
The glassy material lends itself to production in thick slabs, significant because the thicker the holographic material, the more information it can store.
Noise radiated from the floating slab is significant if the rails were attached with stiff fixation; otherwise, the train noise dominates.
However, since the fault ruptured over several hundred kilometers down-dip over a portion of the slab with significant variation in dip, a strict interpretation of the dip of a point source is not meaningful.
When slabs are not modeled, the self-weight of slabs (a significant source of gravity loading on buildings) and additional live loads should be distributed on beams.
The results show that other than the vertical rigid body resonances for the isolation systems, the bending resonances of slabs have significant effects on vibration isolation performance.
Mechanical and physical parameter analyses were carried out on some of the representative slabs and significant variations were found in the mechanical resistance, density, and porosity values.
Nevertheless, subducting slabs exhibit significant compositional variability, e.g., δD = -30‰ to -60‰, including sediment, AOC, and serpentinite (Kawahata et al. 1987; Giggenbach 1992; Matsuhisa 1992; Shaw et al. 2008), and causes significant uncertainty in the quantitative results of our model.
The comparison with the synthetic PDF distributions indicates that the observed LOD changes before eruptions on W- and E-directed slabs are significant at the >98 and >95 % confidence intervals, respectively.
