TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fire exposure on anchors' loadbearing performance was investigated on the residual capacities of the anchors in the presence of fire, and the results showed that the anchor behavior is significantly influenced by the fire exposure, while the influence of the anchor diameter and the embedment depth was relatively weak.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical method of analysis is proposed for computation of the elastic settlement of raft foundations using a FEM-BEM coupling technique, which can be used for rafts of any geometry in terms of thickness as well as shape and loading.
Abstract: A numerical method of analysis is proposed for computation of the elastic settlement of raft foundations using a FEM–BEM coupling technique. The structural model adopted for the raft is based on an isoparametric plate bending finite element and the raft–soil interface is idealized by boundary elements. Mindlin's half-space solution is used as a fundamental solution to find the soil flexibility matrix and consequently the soil stiffness matrix. Transformation of boundary element matrices are carried out to make it compatible for coupling with plate stiffness matrix obtained from the finite element method. This method is very efficient and attractive in the sense that it can be used for rafts of any geometry in terms of thickness as well as shape and loading. Depth of embedment of the raft can also be considered in the analysis. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: In this article, an electroplated metallic base layer was used for solely surface application of the particles of friction material, and an embedment layer was also used for the particle size of the friction material.
Abstract: A invention relates to tool having working surfaces (5) which transmit torque by application against a workpiece and are provided with particles of friction material (8) consisting of metallic or mineral material, such as quartz and/or diamond chips, attached by metallic embedment, and for optimal development of the working surface for the transmission of torque there is an electroplated metallic base layer (7) for solely surface application of the particles of friction material (8) of an embedment layer (9) for the particles of friction material which is then also electroplated, the thickness (x) of the base layer (7) being less than that of the embedment layer (9) and the thickness (y) of the latter being less than the particle size of the particles of friction material (8).

TL;DR: A vibrating smoothing device or plate transverse to a direction of travel of deposited gypsum-cementitious slurry and embedded chopped fibers is used to smooth the top surface of the slurry panel as it exits a first fiber embedment station and a second slurry depositing station before passing through a second fiber embeddedment station of a structural cementitious panel production line to remove grooves and other non-uniform surface imperfections to have the slury cover the embedded fibers as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A vibrating smoothing device or plate transverse to a direction of travel of deposited gypsum-cementitious slurry and embedded chopped fibers. The plate is used to smooth the top surface of the slurry panel as it exits a first fiber embedment station and a second slurry depositing station before passing through a second fiber embedment station of a structural cementitious panel production line to remove grooves and other non-uniform surface imperfections to have the slurry cover the embedded fibers. The plate is designed to float over the surface of the formed slurry without tearing or otherwise damaging the surface of the heavily fiber reinforced surface layers of the formed slurry before it sets. The vibrating plate is pivotally mounted on the web production line so it can float over the panel surface during use, but be raised off the line when not in use.
