Sentence examples for as serviceability from inspiring English sources

Accordingly, as well as serviceability and safety, the performance-based design of buildings should consider reparability.

The design optimisation takes into account ultimate as well as serviceability limit states, adopting deflection limits recommended by the Steel Construction Institute (SCI).

Since ( varepsilon^{prime}_{csd} ) is influenced by the shape of a member section, environmental conditions and stress, it must be determined with reference to various structural performance requirements, such as serviceability and durability.

This paper investigates the effect of such deflection limits using a real-coded niching genetic algorithm (RC-NGA) that optimizes frame weight, taking into account both ultimate as well as serviceability limit states.

As the consequences of exceeding the allowed stresses are relatively small, there has been a lively debate on whether compression perpendicular to grain should be treated as an ultimate or better as a serviceability limit state.

The corrosion time initiation is considered as a serviceability limit state scenario.

Vibration associated with human walking as a serviceability concern has not been well addressed in design and construction of lightweight cold-formed steel (CFS) floors.

The global factor of safety obtained using the shear strength reduction technique is used as the criterion for the ultimate limit state and the calculated percent strain around the opening is adopted as the serviceability limit state criterion.

The global factor of safety is used as the criterion for the ultimate limit state and the calculated percent strain around the cavern opening is adopted as the serviceability limit state criterion.

Most previous research has been concerned with the ultimate failure of FRP wrapped beams when FRP ruptures, but debonding of FRP from the sides of the beam may also constitute a limit state in design, either as a serviceability limit state or a lower bound to the ultimate limit state.

It is shown that for tanks under global differential settlement, local buckling occurs first at the eave wind girder, followed by a stable post-buckling behavior, so that the local buckling of the wind girder can be taken as the serviceability limit state and the post-buckling strength can be utilized in structural design of tanks.
