The balance
beam test was used as described by Prasad and Muralidhara (18) with minor modifications (19).
Labibzadeh (2015) and Labibzadeh and Elahifar (2015) have employed the CDP model for the numerical simulation of the strengthened RC slabs with CFRPs and calibrated the input parameters using some different tests such as biaxial compression test, three-point bending concrete
beam test and four-point bending reinforced concrete
beam test.
Both components are made with structural CFRP, whose mechanical properties have been examined in Section 2 using the Oberst
beam test method.
For steel fiber-reinforced concrete beams, shear strength was lower than found in the
beam test. For beams without stirrups, shear strength evaluated was not higher than 54% of shear strength obtained during testing.
In the industrial outskirts of Padua, Italy, about 40 kilometres west of Venice, the long white buildings of the PRIMA Neutral
Beam Test Facility are now ready to receive equipment, after a little over a year of construction activity.
The experimental setup used for the proton
beam test is shown in Figure 1.
Gianluigi Arduini, deputy head of hardware commissioning for the LHC, told BBC News the
beam test showed that the collider's machinery was operating properly.
