Investigating the Relationship between Small and Large Scale Test Methods for the Combustion Toxicity of Cables
… investigate the relationship between large and small-scale testing for the combustion toxicity of cables. This was done to see if it was viable for small-scale testing to replace or act as a screening method for the large-scale test to try and reduce monetary, time and manpower costs. Also …

Design of Floor Joists Manufactured via Large Scale Additive Manufacturing
… The designs were put through FEA simulation and small scale testing to determine the best design. Lastly, full large scale trusses for the selected design were printed on a BAAM by Additive Engineering Solutions and tested under typical floor loading conditions. Both simulation and test were in …

Effects of Surface Condition on the Fatigue Behavior of CFRP-to-Steel Joints
… and to analyze these complex loading cases, small scale testing is used to evaluate the fatigue performance between the steel substrate, adhesive layer and the CFRP laminate. In this research, double-strap joints (DSJ) were fabricated consisting of two high-modulus CFRP laminates and ASTM A36 …

Improving care coordination through virtual warm handoffs in telepsychiartry
… cycles over 12 weeks, starting with small-scale testing and expanding to four nurse-provider pairs. The workflow used Doxy.me call transfer to move patients from provider visits to nursing follow-up, supplemented by standardized SBAR communication. If a live handoff was not possible, …

Physical Modelling of Instability in Granular Soils and Tsunami Hazards Associated with Coastal Slope Failures
… result of soil instability. In this study, large-scale tilt table testing under dry and submerged conditions were conducted with imbedded shear stress and strain sensors to quantify the constitutive behaviour and pore pressure response of loosely placed sand leading up to and during instability. …

Shear performance and behavior of long carbon fiber reinforced concrete
<p>”In this study, a laboratory testing program was developed to investigate the shear performance of fiber reinforced concrete beams. Long carbon fibers, to be included with a traditional fresh concrete mix, were developed and their shear performance was evaluated and compared to the performance …

Variations in low-grade wood modification and stress lamination
… increase durability, literature and preliminary small-scale testing suggest that impregnation can also lead to increases in stiffness and strength. Compared to wood modification, stress lamination is a relatively simple yet effective technique, and is useful for laminating wood without glue. …

An Investigation of Anchor Nut Loosening and Review of Tightening Procedures for Anchor Rods in Highway Ancillary Structures
… well on the galvanized rod. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards provide specific allowable tolerances on the thread parameters of the anchor rod and nut after galvanization and overtapping. Any deviation from the allowable tolerances can lead to gaps between the mating …

Multi-objective optimal seismic design of buildings using advanced engineering materials
… through an experimental program at the small-scale (scale factor equal to 1/8). ECC mixtures with different cost and sustainability indices are considered. It is seen that all ECC mixtures outperform concrete to different extents of stiffness, strength, ductility and energy absorption …
