The as-molded PDO specimens exposed to PBS overnight had a yield
strength reduction of 11.5%, an elastic modulus reduction of 18.6%, and an elongation increase of 3.5%; compared with dry condition test results.
The principal difference between these two analyses approaches is that the LE methods are based on the static of equilibrium whereas Finite Difference (FD) method utilize
strength reduction method.
Increasing the fly ash content for mortar FA325 and FA400 showed a reduced rate of
strength reduction. The compressive strength of mortar FA400.50, FA400.60 and FA400.70 are almost the same, showing that increasing the fly ash replacement ratio only slightly reduce the quality of mortar.
As it was mentioned before, chemical corrosion is not the main reason for tensile
strength reduction of alkali resistant glass.
refer to these types of soils as "calamitous soils" [9], which is the soil with special characteristics in relation to shrinking, swelling, fissures, and
strength reduction. Expansive soils are also associated with swelling when they absorb water and shrink upon evaporation of water [12].
[4] have reported
strength reduction of corroded deck plate in 20 years old ships under uniform long itudinal compression.
Lastly, the report examines long-term
strength reduction factors and discusses differences between current practices for GRS and mechanically stabilized earth design.
When considering a common construction detail, the user had to refer to multiple chapters governing issues like nominal flexure, axial length, nominal shear strength,
strength reduction, tie spacing and bend details, or lap splices.
