  2. Air bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_bearing

    Gas-lubricated bearings are classified in two groups, depending on the source of pressurization of the gas film providing the load-carrying capacity: Aerostatic bearings: the gas is externally-pressurized (using a compressor or a pressure tank) and injected in the clearance of the bearing. Consequently, aerostatics bearings can sustain a load ...

  3. Reinforced concrete column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_Concrete_Column

    where the first term represents the load carried by the concrete and the second term represents the load carried by the steel. Because the yield strength of steel is an order of magnitude larger than that of concrete, a small addition of steel will greatly increase the strength of the column. [1]

  4. Concrete cone failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_cone_failure

    The tension failure loads predicted by the CCD method fits experimental results over a wide range of embedment depth (e.g. 100 – 600 mm). [2] Anchor load bearing capacity provided by ACI 349 does not consider size effect, thus an underestimated value for the load-carrying capacity is obtained for large embedment depths.

  5. Structural integrity and failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_integrity_and...

    Structural failure refers to the loss of structural integrity, or the loss of load-carrying structural capacity in either a structural component or the structure itself. Structural failure is initiated when a material is stressed beyond its strength limit, causing fracture or excessive deformations ; one limit state that must be accounted for ...

  6. Glass fiber reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_fiber_reinforced...

    GRC (Glass fibre-reinforced concrete) ceramic consists of high-strength, alkali-resistant glass fibre embedded in a concrete & ceramic matrix. [1] In this form, both fibres and matrix retain their physical and chemical identities, while offering a synergistic combination of properties that cannot be achieved with either of the components acting alone.

  7. Anchor bolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_bolt

    In order to increase the load-carrying capacity anchors are assembled in group, moreover this allow also to arrange a bending moment resisting connection. For tension and shear load, the mechanical behavior is markedly influenced by (i) the spacing between the anchors and (ii) the possible difference in the applied forces.

    The "Alternatives to Detention" program is tracking more than 25,000 migrants using ankle and wrist-worn monitors, which costs taxpayers an average of nearly $80,000 each day, according to ICE data.

  9. Shear strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength

    In engineering, shear strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear. A shear load is a force that tends to produce a sliding failure on a material along a plane that is parallel to the direction of the force. When a paper is cut with scissors ...
