For instance, for every single specimen, an initial increase of the bond stress is observed until a maximum bond stress is reached.
The CPB specimens have an initial sulphate concentration of 0, 5000, 15,000 and 25,000 ppm and are cured at room temperature (20 °C).
Bulk specimens, having an initial microstructure of equiaxed Pb-rich particles within the Sn-rich matrix, are subject to relatively fast deformations of tension, compression and bending.
In this study, oedometer tests were conducted on densely compacted GMZ01 bentonite specimens with an initial dry density of 1.70 Mg/m3, which experienced swelling under different vertical stresses with infiltration of de-ionized water or NaCl solutions at different concentrations.
It was noticed that most of the specimens experienced an initial drift of 2 3 mm immediately after the flexural load was applied, as demonstrated in Fig. 12b.
Age stratification of the seropositive specimens suggested an initial waning of immune response followed by rapid seroconversion during childhood.
Processing of specimens included an initial Auramine-Rhodamine smear; followed by inoculation into plates with Middlebrook/7H11 agar, and a mycobacterial growth indicator tube.
It was found that the morphology in the specimen having an initial polished surface was quite stable, while that in the specimen with a rough surface was unstable.
By carrying out multiple cuts, the full residual stress tensor in a continuously processed body can be determined, where the specimen has an initial length-to-width aspect ratio of 2 1.
In this study, one-dimensional free swelling tests were conducted on densely compacted GMZ01 bentonite specimens, which has an initial dry density of 1.7 Mg/m3, with cyclically infiltration of NaCl, CaCl2 or KCl solution at different concentrations and de-ionized water.
