In the design of a gravity dam, any dam monolith must be checked to determine if the stability against sliding along a potential failure surface in the foundation meets the requirement specified by the design code.
After observing the movement of this joint at some bridges, a detailed evaluation was performed on 12 five-girder T-beam bridges on Interstate 40 (I-40) in the southwestern US, and a potential failure mechanism was identified in all of them.
Whilst this may be an acceptable risk in a wild boar vaccination campaign, a potential failure to detect field virus in the domestic pig sector would be of concern.
This finding is important since it depicts the factors responsible for a potential failure of this public-private mix in the provision of intensive care for neonates.
However, case reports indicate a potential increase in treatment failures with some drug classes (and a potential failure to detect these mechanisms with reference microbiologic methods) and suggest the need for better clinical data to reassess susceptibility breakpoints for these agents.
The questions surrounding Lehman have helped spur a return of the jitters that surrounded Bear Stearns's potential failure in March — when it was bought by its rival, JPMorgan Chase, in a deal engineered by the Federal Reserve.
Hence, due to the similarity of the finite element model with the actual conditions, and the possibility of simulating the complexity of potential failure in members and connections and loading conditions, a reasonable model with the lowest error rate can be achieved.
The safety assessment of bridge crane can prevent potential failure in time.
A number of potential failures in testing and communicating results to patients were identified, and some specific ideas for improving existing systems emerged.
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a risk assessment tool that mitigates potential failures in systems, processes, designs or services and has been used in a wide range of industries.
