To study the progressive collapse-resisting mechanisms of reinforced concrete (RC) floor systems, seven 1/3-scaled one-way substructure specimens, including five beam slab specimens and two continuous-beam specimens without slabs, were tested under a middle-column-removal scenario.
The dentin-cement interfacial layer of Super-Bond C&B specimens was consistent and continuous for 3-4 µm both before and after chemical modification using HCl and NaOCl, whereas that in PanaviaF specimens was detached and degraded.
Furthermore, uniaxial tensile tests of stainless-steel specimens, including static and continuous tensile tests, were conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method.
The patients with specimens of homogeneous and continuous mineral that filled the entire 'tissue sac' (Calc7 (FTIR-RM, μCT) and Calc8 (FTIR-RM, μCT)) had illness for 12 and 30 year (respectively) and calcinosis in these locations for at least 12 and 27 years.
To develop the second relationship, most studies use relationships developed using physical specimens and have found continuous functions and power relationships best fit experimental data (E = αρβ), where E is the Young's Modulus, α and β are experimentally derived parameters, and ρ is the bone density (Helgason et al. 2008).
Thereafter, specimens were subjected to cyclic and continuous chloride attack for defined time periods.
Fifty percent of the patients remained in treatment over the first year showing high compliance with the treatment goals demonstrated by negative urine specimens three times a week and continuous work attendance.
The quench and tempered specimens showed continuous yielding behavior, while the cold-rolled and recrystallized ones showed discontinuous yielding and serrated flow.
Specimens of continuous (AC16S) and gap-graded (BBTM11B) mixtures with 50/70 penetration bitumen were produced.
Moreover, unlike other LMM specimens, LMM specimens with 1.5% CNTs exhibited little but constant and continuous shrinkage due to freeze thaw and thermal fatigue cycles.
