However, in terms of carrying capacity, displacement ductility coefficient, hysteretic load-displacement curves area, strength, and stiffness degeneration, etc., SRNSC frame is totally weaker than SRUHSC frame.
The effect of the strengthening on the load carrying capacity, displacement ductility, energy absorption and failure modes is discussed in details.
The ultimate axial load capacity, displacement ductility, failure mode and axial force distribution between GFRP skins and wood core were investigated.
Fiber modeling approach has been implemented to determine the performance of bridge piers (such as cracking base shear, cracking displacement, yield base shear, yield displacement, crushing base shear/shear capacity, displacement at crushing/shear failure and ductility) under lateral loads.
In terms of loading-displacement hysteretic curves, lateral load carrying capacity, displacement ductility, energy dissipation, stiffness, and strength degradation, etc, the seismic behavior of SRUHSC and SRNSC frame specimens are investigated under low reversed cycle lateral loading.
Based on low cyclic loading tests of eight column specimens, the failure patterns, hysteresis loops, load carrying capacity, displacement and ductility factor, skeleton curves, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity of frost-damaged concrete columns were analyzed.
The effectiveness of the repairing schemes was evaluated by comparing load-carrying capacities, displacement ductility, stiffness, and energy dissipation of the columns.
In this experimental investigation five R407C positive displacement hermetic reciprocating compressors, covering different capacities, displacement, stroke-to-bore ratios and number of cylinders, have been characterized using propane as refrigerant by means of a specifically designed characterization test rig.
The feasibility of the grouted splice connections for each load case is evaluated in terms of ultimate capacities, displacement, serviceability and failure mode.
Dynamic time-history simulations confirm an excellent behaviour in terms of drift capacity, residual displacement and peak roof accelerations.
With his capacity for displacement, his capacity for reshaping the outer world in his own image, he narrated his deeds without expression to the courtroom, and he listened to the survivors' accounts without expression, even though everyone else, the judges as well as the journalists and the next of kin, sat and cried.
