1,2 Under long-term service and external environments, these walls are prone to cracking, which poses risks to their structural safety and stability, potentially leading to slope instability3,4. In this sense, timely and accurate detection of retaining wall cracks and changes in crack size and ...
Under the action of long-term alternating loads, these structural parts will produce minor cracks and further expand, eventually leading to structural failure. Therefore, aeronautical components are usually post-treated by the shot peening strengthening process, which effectively slows down the crack ...
from a larger collection of units or a larger quantity of material, that serves to provide information that can be used as a basis for action on the larger collection or quantity or on the production process; the term is also used in the sense of a sample of observations. ...
ANaturestudy showed how 70% of the researchers were unable to reproduce other researchers’ experiments and results6. And it also suggested that those irreproducible claims and findings could have spawned flawed research leads. Flawed leads and criteria can cause long-term societal damage, in the s...
On the contrary, insufficient moisture promotes the formation of pores and microcapillary pores, which directly decreases the strength and long-term durability of the concrete. The lime and water curing methods stated in this study have undoubtedly provided sufficient moisture for hydration compared to ...
crack is seen to cross over from one side of the multiscan to the other; this occurs if the induced stress is too high on both sides of the waveguide, although here the higher stress at the corners due to segmented multiscan is also a contributing factor. For waveguides, such a crossing...
