This can be attributed partly to shrinkage induced cracks in the non-symmetrically reinforced sections; however, the uniform distribution of fibers in slabs S2 and S3 can lessen the shrinkage induced cracks.
General expressions to evaluate the effective area of concrete in tension are given and tested in full scale experiments of members with circular cross sections symmetrically and asymmetrically reinforced.
All of the three internal stresses distributed evenly and symmetrically along the section of roadway, with no significant stress concentration.
Sensibly, this cost varies quite symmetrically over cross-sections and regularly changes its pendency over time, first growing, then lowering, and finally growing again.
As can be seen: (1) Overall, though the stresses in three directions were not consistent with time variation, their spatial distribution had largely followed a common feature, that is all of the three internal stresses distributed evenly and symmetrically along the section of roadway, with no significant stress concentration.
For columns with crack pattern DC, six strain gauges were set at the mid-height cross section symmetrically to the crack planes, and two more strain gauges were set on the compression and tension sides at the mid-length of initial cracks.
In this paper apertures are considered whose cross-sections are symmetrically tapered in a direction parallel to the mean flow.
For the same simulated degree of corrosion, the steel bar with a symmetrically distributed residual cross-section showed the best ductility.
A new type of spot-weld double-hat section with symmetrically distributed tilt flanges (STFD-HAT) is introduced in this paper to improve the crushing performance, especially crushing stability.
If reinforcement is not placed symmetrically along the cross-section, the strain due to shrinkage of concrete causes non-uniform stress and strain distribution within the height of the section.
The beams had a constant cross-section and were symmetrically reinforced along the four membranes.
