The use of the procedure, which is applicable to regular ductile steel frames that are designed according to the concepts of capacity design, is illustrated through its application to the structural revision of the preliminary design of an 8-story steel frame.
These include decision-making capacity (which includes both the concepts of capacity and competency), communication and language, the potential for overuse of individual research subjects, problems with the timing of subject recruitment, the hope for a cure in certain patient populations and the nature of the health care provider – research subject relationship in the rehabilitation setting.
Anthony Chen et al. [6, 7] proposed the concept of capacity reliability.
At the same time, paying heed to the distinction makes the concept of capacity both philosophically problematic and empirically elusive.
Another novel aspect of the proposed method is that the target displacement is estimated during the analysis by implementing the concept of capacity spectrum method recommended by ATC 40.
It helps distinguish cases where what is at issue is primarily a descriptive matter, namely, the application of a given theory or test of capacity, from cases that are essentially normative in nature, for example, where what is at issue is the empirical validity of the concept of capacity embodied in a given test.
In addition, the problem of uplink CDMA scheduling is further complicated by the fact that the conventional concept of capacity used in the wireline networks, for example, total bandwidth of the physical media, is not directly applicable in the CDMA systems.
The concept of capacity building has been developed in recent years, based on the recognition that it is hard to change existing learning and teaching practices even when there is broad agreement on what the new practices should be (Sugrue 2008).
(2) The new algorithm introduces the concept of Capacity Threshold and calculates the Set of Efficient and Valid Equipment Assignments to preclude unpromising solution spaces, which allows the algorithm to search much narrowed but promising solution spaces in a more efficient way.
US Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), with all its revisions since 1950, is the pioneer document in this respect as it quantified the concept of capacity for a transport facility and laid the foundations for estimating the level of service (LOS) being provided by that facility to its users.
While the definition may vary, there is wide recognition that the concept of capacity development is currently evolving, which in turn is affecting all aspects of development, from infrastructure, agriculture, education and health to data and statistics.
