Objective: To provide examples of the installation stainless-steel reinforcements in a stone cultural monument as part conservation and restoration work. Methods: During works, metal elements monuments are replaced by stainless steel, which shares same physical properties as, for example, iron, but its chemical much superior. Estimates appropriate reinforcement, technical drawings detailed plan...

Wooden multi-span beams with steel reinforcement were studied experimentally on a stationary stand using an eight-point loading scheme that simulated load uniformly distributed over the beam span. The studies carried out span of 4.8 m cross-sectional area 40 mm × 80 mm, reinforced in stretched zones cross-section rods made hot-rolled A400 class. rational for location reinforcements tensioned an...

today, corrosion in reinforcements is an important issue in many structures, especially those made in off-shore, resulting of reduction of the structural capacity under gravitational and lateral loads. using frp polymer can reduce this effect to some extents. a numerical and experimental investigation has been conducted on three different concrete beams to find out the effect of replacing steel...

Piled foundations are commonly employed to reduce settlements of artificial earth embankments on soft soil strata and geosynthetic reinforcements installed at the embankment base increase pile spacing construction costs. Despite well-documented effectiveness this technique, mechanical processes, developing during in different elements constituting ‘geo-structure’, not fully understood design ap...

Single unit activity in the neostriatum of awake monkeys shows a marked dependence on expected reward. Responses to visual cues differ when animals expect primary reinforcements, such as juice rewards, in comparison to secondary reinforcements, such as tones. The mechanism of this rewarddependent modulation has not been established experimentally. To assess the hypothesis that direct neuromodul...
