Wall reinforcement

Knocking out the face shells of the lower blocks, and drilling holes into the slab for the wall reinforcing to be inserted in. 

Openings are always required in pressure-vessel shells and heads. Stress intensification is created by the existence of a hole in an otherwise symmetrical section. The code compensates for this by an area-replacement method. It takes a cross section through the opening, and it measures the area of the metal of the required shell that is removed and replaces it in the cross section by additional material (shell wall, nozzle wall, reinforcing plate, or weld) within certain distances of the opening centerline. These rules and formulas for calculation are included in Subsec. A. 

Recently, new crystallisation methods for mesoporous amorphous oxides using combined assembly by the soft and hard (CASH) chemistry method and two-step wall reinforcing method have been reported.

Biological changes resulting from receptor responses include ion channel off-on, oxidative bursts, cellular redox changes and protein kinase cascades, which control cellular responses, such as cell wall reinforcement or antimicrobial production, or activate changes in gene expression that then enhance other defensive responses of the plant immune system. ... 

Measures to control rockfall include catch fences, benches, wire mesh and rock traps. Restraining structures control landslides by increasing the resistance to movement. They include, for example, retaining walls, reinforced earth structures, shotcrete, cribs, gabions, buttresses, piling, dowels, rock bolts and rock anchors (see Chapter 9). The following minimum information is required to determine the type and size of a restraining structure ... 

In the second detail, longer dowels were used to act both as dowels and as anchorage of the web panel to the surrounding frame to this end, the dowels are considered as lap-spliced with the nearest - smaller diameter - web bars. However, in this case, the clear distance between the dowel and the nearest web bar violates the maximum clear distance of 50 mm or 4 between lapped bars, as specified in Eurocode 2 (CEN 2004). This detail was used to coimect the wall at the top beam and west column at the 1st and 2nd floors of the north wall (Fig. 17.4a), while for the south frame it was used to coimect the wall at the top beam of the 1st and 2nd floors, and the east and west columns of the 1st and 2nd fioors, respectively. In the 3rd floor of both the north and south frames only the second detail was used, while for the 4th floor only two dowels per wall interface were used to provide safety against out of plane falling of the wall. The reinforcement details for the dowels and the starter bars are shown in Table 17.1. The completed wall reinforcement (including web, starter bars and dowels) for the 1st floor of the north wall is shown in Fig. 17.4b. In all cases the dowels were positioned along the centreline of the elements (i.e. at 0.125 m fi om the face of the wall). 

While it is difficult to obliterate multiple arteriovenous connections via the feeding arteries, this can be easily achieved by packing the lumen of the single venous channel of the lesion. Although this might induce transient pressure elevation inside the nidus, rupture and bleeding does not occur, as the nidus is located within the dura and is surrounded by thick walls, reinforced by connective tissue proliferation (Houdart et al. 1993). In contrast to brain AVMs, venous occlusion is feasible... 

Geosynthetics with high tensile strength and stiffness such as geogrids, woven tapes/strips are used in reinforcement applications. Examples are reinforced soil walls, reinforced steep slopes, slope repair by reinforced soil, basal reinforcement at the base of embankments on soft ground or embankments over piled foundations, as illustrated in Figure 5.6. 

A rather broad definition proposed by the ACI 549.2R-04 for ferrocement is A type of thin wall reinforced concrete constructed of hydraulic cement mortar reinforced with closely spaced layers of continuous and relatively small wire diameter mesh. The mesh may be made of metallic or other suitable materials. In this definition all kinds of non-metallic meshes are included, as well as fabrics and mats made with non-metallic fibres that are treated as textile reinforcement. 

Claddings and curtain walls reinforced with carbon fibres were used in Japan with good results reduction of thickness was possible because of higher strength, toughness and better fire resistance (Obama et al. 1983).

Protection against turbine missile hazards can be achieved either from wall reinforcement or using different types of layout turbine buildings to minimize turbine missile risks on one site from any turbine to any reactor. Some types of layout can be used parallel units, fan-shaped units (ex Cattenom), head to tail units, etc.

Soil—geotextile interaction in pull-out mode The geotextile length for slope and wall reinforcement is designed to provide anchorage beyond the potential failure surface. Such resistance can be modeled in the laboratory using a puU-out test. The pull-out resistance of the geotextile obtained in the test can be expressed as (Eq. [15.6]) ...
