3 Feb 2004: The engineer can then design the reinforcement in the twodirections, and to be economic, he curtails the reinforcement assoon as possible, so that the resistance moment follows veryclosely the applied moment. ... γ factors as low as about 0.20 arepresent

14 May 2002: Simple equilibriumconsiderations lead to relationships between the tension inthe middle of cord i, Ti, the sag of cord i, si, and the sagof cord i 1, si1, etc. ... This test confirmed a conclusion already reached bySeffen et al. (2000), that an advantage

22 Mar 2002: thickness of the membrane. Values between 1% and100% of the thickness have been used, considering dif-ferent imperfection magnitudes to test the sensitivityof the predicted response. ... Note that all of these modes closely resemble theexpected wrinkled

11 Jul 2007: These relations can be found in and have been verified using published test data in [8]. ... Again, the structure but not the loading is symmetric about the middle support.

3 Aug 2011: Bagi[13] also observed this effect in 2D simulations of a uniaxial compression test, showing data which. ... For example, Head [2] suggests minimumratios of 5, 6, 10 or 12, depending on the nature of the laboratory test.

8 Apr 2011: Double-shear pull tests and single-shear pull tests have been the most popular test methods, as a result of their simplicity (Chen et al., 2001). ... Figure 2 — Direct pull out tests set-ups. (a) Beam test (b) Modified beam test.

27 Jan 2009: The sand used in all these tests was dry. Leighton Buzzard sand 52/100 (nominal grain size 0.225mm) was used for one of these test. ... tables 6,8 and 10a,b, for tests AM-1,AM-2 and test AM-3 respectively.

31 Aug 2001: Is this because thetechnology is wrong? Are the economics wrong? Are engineers too conservative? ... There will thus need to be research before economic designrules can be introduced.

20 Jul 2004: It is also unlikely that AFRP or CFRP will be economic for flexure. ... Bent pultrusions, however, will never be economic. 4.4 Internal confinement for compression.

11 Jul 2007: Two different yield criteria were considered in Ref [16] both of which approximate observed results from tests on standard monolithic specimens. ... section. Using fc in lieu of Neilsen’s use of the compressive test strength (fcu ) the reinforcement
