Test results showed that the flexural capacity of the reinforced, prestressed, prestressed & reinforced (bottom prestressed and top reinforced) beams greatly increased by 64.8%, 93.3% and 131%, respectively.
[Page A1.] Ford Executive Gets More Duties Ford expanded the duties of David Thursfield, left, one of its top executives, reinforcing speculation that Mr. Thursfield is being groomed to eventually take the No. 2 spot at the company.
This paper includes the details of the experimental program required to test a full-scale innovative bridge deck with cantilevers reinforced with different top transverse reinforcing bars.
In Table 6, Bar A denotes the top mat reinforcing steel on the west end of the specimens while Bar E denotes the reinforcing steel on the east end of the specimens.
Design factors considered in the study included structure type, deck type, deck thickness, top cover, transverse reinforcing bar size, transverse reinforcing bar spacing, girder end conditions, span length, bridge length, span type, and skew.
Using electrophysiology and behavior, we validated new circuits identified in our tracing studies, including a previously unappreciated top-down reinforcing circuit from anterior cortex to lateral nucleus accumbens via VTA-DA neurons.
