Sentence examples for top reinforcement from inspiring English sources
It was observed that top reinforcement bars were capable of transmitting post-punching loads to the prestressing strands.
It is also shown that presence of additional top reinforcement mesh is necessary for composite beams exposed to short hot natural fires.
With respect to the punching shear failure regime, it is shown that the top reinforcement might play an important role (a fact usually neglected by previous investigations).
It has been shown that in the central region, greater tensile membrane forces are mobilised due to the participation of beam reinforcement and slab top reinforcement.
In this paper, an advanced finite element model (FEM), which has been validated by available test data, is used to investigate the membrane behaviour in laterally unrestrained slabs associated with PI column loss in the presence of interior double-span beams, rotational restraints along the perimeter edges, and the slab top reinforcement.
The temperature of top reinforcement increases slowly to 129 °C at 3 h.
In this work, two enhanced failure mechanisms are investigated considering not only a vertical penetration of the punching cone, but also a rotation of the outer part of the footing, allowing to consider the role of both bottom and top reinforcements on the failure load.
Two strain gauges that are referred to as SR1 and SR2 measure the strain values of top reinforcements of the beam, respectively, 0.1 m away from the left and right columns' face.
The top longitudinal reinforcement in the structural topping of precast beams passed through the beam column joint continuously.
Approximately 50 ms after the explosion, however, the top flexural reinforcement should bear a greater stress than the diagonal reinforcement.
In Fig. 15, in the negative direction of loading, the maximum lateral load was greater than that in the positive direction of loading because the top longitudinal reinforcement ratio of beams was greater than the bottom longitudinal reinforcement ratio.
