Sentence examples for test tpb from inspiring English sources

The most usual experimental procedures for measuring the specific fracture energy (G F ) of concrete (Karihaloo 1995) avoiding the problems associated with the CT tests are the three-point bending test (TPB) and the wedge splitting test (WS).

Tables  4 and 5 present the results for the associations between awareness of the importance of the Pap test, confidence in Pap testing, TPB variables, stigma, shame, and intention to undergo Pap testing by sexual experience.

Structural equation modeling was used to test the TPB-based model.

Independent-samples t tests identified TpB beliefs that discriminated between participants who absolutely intend to perform the behaviors and those with lower intention.

The multi-layer three-point bending test (ML-TPB) is dimensioned so that the fracture is initiated by an interfacial shear stress.

Twenty-eight beams with six cross-sections has been tested using a three-point bending (TPB) test setup, which is designed according to the draft of a report developed by Joint ACI/ASCE 446 Technical Committee.

The TPB test (Fig. 2a) is the most widely method used for concrete fracture analysis due to the simple specimen preparation and execution (Abdalla and Karihaloo 2003; Bazant 1996; Bazant and Kazemi 1991 RILEM 19855), even for fiber-reinforced concrete (Cifuentes et al. 2013; Gopalaratnam and Shah 1987).

In this study, "ad hoc" MDCT rather than "drilled out" specimens are prepared for being tested in the laboratory, allowing the same concrete to be employed in both MDCT and TPB tests and the results to be conveniently compared.

Both tests, MDCT and TPB, are performed for the same concrete mixes.

Table 4 Geometrical parameter values of notched beams used in TPB tests.

Load responses, peak loads, strain profiles, and failure modes of TPB tests are presented and discussed.
