Experimental researches of one 1:6 scale steel truss reinforced concrete (STRC) transfer beam were carried out to investigate mechanical performances of a transfer beam under vertical loads in an actual tall building. The development of crack along the beam, strains of reinforcements and steel truss, and the force transference mechanism of the deep beam were analyzed. Experimental results showed that the bearing capacity and rigidity of the STRC transfer beam are significantly enhanced compared with normal RC transfer beam. The strut-and-tie force transference mechanism is formed in the STRC transfer beam and fully made use of by the STRC transfer beam. And results verified that the shortest and most direct force transference path can be achieved to transfer upper loads.
A solvent-free cross-linked alternating copolymer electrolyte is synthesized through photo copolymerization of comb-like poly (ethylene glycol) ester maleate and styrene. Phase transitions, thermal properties, ionic conductivities and electrochemical stabilities are investigated to characterize the alternating copolymer electrolyte. The flexible solid polymer electrolyte (spe) with lithium salt content of 15 wt.% and MA/-OH = 1 has a good ionic conductivity of 1.45×10-5 S cm-1 at 35 °C and a superior electrochemical stability to 5.2 V. The maleic anhydride on the main chain increases the rigidity of the copolymer matrix and decreases the ionic conductivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
