The adequacy of current code specifications is also discussed.
The test and ABAQUS software results were interpreted using some code specifications and one design procedure.
This chapter tries to list some of the most common codes, specifications and standards that address welding related matters.
Most of the data produced in software projects is of textual nature: source code, specifications, or documentation.
Furthermore, it can be easily incorporated into the displacement-based design framework, and into the code specifications.
In the case of the three-point bending tests, along with the standard evaluation of fracture-mechanical properties according to code specifications material parameter identification, artificial neural network based inverse analyses were carried out.
The proposed model may better describe the building exposure in terms of upstream terrain conditions closer to the site of study, and help on the terrain-related code specifications.
Inadequate comprehension of these mechanic bases of cover plate design is causing controversial interpretation of the design code specifications during the engineering practices, and some questionable designs have been observed.
From the practical point of view, the objective chosen is to minimise the weight of the structures under a set of particular constraints imposed by design code specifications on nodal displacement, member stress and stability.
Important recommendations on the use of fiber beam column elements for studying existing R/C structures, which do not comply with the flexure dominated paradigm of walls in the most recent code specifications, are provided.
