Sentence examples for the joint core from inspiring English sources
Diagonal reinforcements were installed to reduce the forces transferred to the joint core.
The as-built joints experienced shear failure within the joint core at early lateral drift.
In his study, the scaled-down beam column joints were retrofitted using web-bonded FRPs in order to relocate the plastic hinge away from the joint core.
The load displacement curves, shear behavior of the joint core, strength and stiffness degradations, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, deformation characteristics, etc. of the test subassemblies are analyzed.
In contrast, specimens with beam width ratios of 2 and 2.5 and γd of 1.63 and 2.03 exhibited significant damage at the joint core.
The experimental results indicate that adverse effects on the joint core can be avoided by moving the plastic hinge outside the joint to the weakened connection.
The RC connections tested were designed only for gravity loads, thus rendering the joint cores weaker than the adjoining members when subjected to a lateral load.
Before these full-scale tests, four simple panel specimens, which were built to represent the joint cores, were also tested under diagonal tension before and after retrofitting with prefabricated HPFRCC panels.
Although all specimens as expected suffered joint shear failure, the maximum joint shear stresses observed in the tested specimens, despite lacking transverse hoops inside the joint cores, were more than the horizontal shear stresses allowed in ductile RC joints with the same grade of concrete according to the existing seismic design codes.
The joint core-genome diversity plotted in Figure 2 (yellow) has one large top, which suggests that for most core-genes there is little room for diversity.
The Joint-Core Team, which was launched along with the request by the ministerial council, has compiled analyses in two reports to clarify technology which should be secured, maintained, and developed in Japan, to share the common targets among industry, government, and academia, and to activate actions under a framework for implementation throughout Japan.
