Sentence examples for collapse requirements from inspiring English sources

As a numerical example, member sizes of a two-dimensional, nine-story, three-bay regular steel immediate moment frame are optimally determined such that the total steel weight is minimized while the design satisfies both AISC seismic provisions and UFC progressive collapse requirements.

The results show that the no-collapse requirements in Eurocode and Japanese code correspond to a lower level of ground motion than the other two codes.

design ground acceleration for the no-collapse requirement (ultimate limit state): ag = 0.053 g; maximum amplification factor of the acceleration response spectrum: F0 = 2.571; upper period of the constant acceleration branch of the response spectrum: T C *  = 0.512 s.

Seismic hazard parameters of the site are given by: design ground acceleration for the no-collapse requirement (ultimate limit state): ag = 0.053 g; maximum amplification factor of the acceleration response spectrum: F0 = 2.571; upper period of the constant acceleration branch of the response spectrum: T C *  = 0.512 s.

The length, layout, cross-sectional areas, guide plates, the PT forces, etc., should be assessed in terms of the required drift angle, self-centering and collapse prevention requirements.

In the case of the 4-storey building non-conforming to the SCWB design requirements, collapse occurs due to failure of the columns of the first storey (Fig. 4).

Critical issues include aesthetics, environmental issues, sustainability, earthquakes, extreme weather, superloads, corrosion potential, ductility and displacement requirements, and collapse prevention.

Finally, using constructed fragility curves and statistical methods, the maximum allowable inter-story drift ratio and spectral displacement values that satisfy the "immediate occupancy" and "collapse prevention" performance level requirements were estimated.

To analyze the influence of the design requirements on collapse responses of steel OCBFs, this study carried out nonlinear static and dynamic analyses of 5- and 10-story prototype frames designed considering different design requirements relating to strengths of beams and columns.

For the 8-storey buildings non-conforming to SCWB design requirements, two collapse mechanisms are observed.

The effect of the SCWB design requirements on the governing collapse mechanism, collapse margin ratio and collapse fragility is investigated in detail.
