Sentence examples for columns drift from inspiring English sources
The drift-based limit states developed by Dutta and Mander (1998) were adopted to define the bridge columns drift limits.
When viewing in the periphery, 69% percent of the participants reported seeing the columns drift upwards when the columns were viewed against the narrow bars, whereas 0% reported seeing the columns drift upwards against the wide bars.
In the proposed technique, few simple design aid graphs are developed by estimating the bridge repair cost ratios (RCRs) at different levels of column drift ratios (CDRs) and abutment skew angles.
Through extensive nonlinear time-history analyses conducted using three suites of ground motions, it is demonstrated that demand parameters for skew-abutment bridges, such as deck rotation and column drift ratio, are higher than those for straight bridges.
Structural engineers have long recognised the importance of the ductility of reinforced concrete members in design, that is the ability of the reinforced concrete member to rotate and consequently: redistribute moments; give prior warning of failure; absorb seismic, blast and impact loads; and control column drift.
It was found that the hysteretic energy dissipation increased as the column drift increased.
Second, we selected the six normalizing proteins for their performance in reducing column drift and technical CV of other proteins.
For the passage times in the range of 0.005 0.10 s, the maximum column drifts can increase several folds due to the combined action of out-of-plane and torsional response.
In practice, column drifts are limited to smaller values.
Yes, when volcanoes erupt explosively enough, and there's an eruption column drifting up into the sky, it is always danger no matter where in the world it happens, and planes are quickly rerouted.
The tests highlighted the strong effects of torsional irregularity on the column drifts, even for a limited level of plan eccentricity and relatively low levels of excitation Mola and Negro (2005).
