The three beam specimens of the first group were designated as control specimens and their performance was used as baseline for comparison to the performance of the other two strengthened RC beams groups.
That set took apart different elements of "The Large Glass" and broke them up into translucent boxes like scientific specimens and, in performance, held them up to the light in new ways, turning them into stage décor through which lighting passed.
A series of manufacturing parameters, such as quick lime and aluminate cement dosages, water to solid ratio (W/S), CFA fineness and type, chemical activators and so on, were investigated based on the density and compressive strength of specimens and the performances of products were also tested in this paper.
The parameters recorded are used to build a performance map relative to a specimen and this performance map is used to compare all characteristics of different multilayers coatings.
The association between the quality of sputum specimen and the performance of smear-microscopy is well known and could explain partially the gender imbalance among smear positive TB patients, because men tend to produce a better sputum than women [ 18].
Firstly, a bolted joint scheme is proposed for use in top-hat stiffened composite plates, after which the manufacturing method of the joint scheme is presented, as is the fabrication of test specimens and their bending performance are tested.
In this paper, the effect of ECE on bond behavior between steel reinforcing bars and concrete is studied using bond tests of beam specimens; and the seismic performance of reinforced concrete columns treated with ECE is investigated using pseudo-static cyclic tests.
Prior handling of the specimens as opposed to usage directly after decontamination might have compromised the quality of the specimens and thus the performance of the assays.
However, the time allowed for transportation of the specimens to the laboratory and performance of molecular diagnosis is limited.
We tested the mechanical performance of these test specimens and found that the mechanical performance of both pCBT cast and GF/pCBT composites reduces obviously after water absorption and hydrothermal aging.
