Sentence examples for connection rotations from inspiring English sources

This study examines deformation patterns and failure modes of the connections, their rotational stiffness, moment resistance and corresponding connection rotations.

Based on moment rotation curves, the initial stiffness, the moment capacity, and the associated connection rotations were established.

According to the method developed previously for calculating the required rotation for composite connections, typical cases are studied and the required connection rotations are evaluated.

The seismic performance of these B-SPSWs is evaluated based on maximum interstory drifts, member demand-to-capacity ratios, and beam-column connection rotations.

Maximum span:depth ratios are presented so that the required connection rotations are smaller than 20, 25 or 30 mRad respectively.

Analysis results showed that the global behavior and connection response of the prototype CBMF supported the conceptual behavior and design considerations, and that post-earthquake story drifts and connection rotations of the prototype CBMF building are ignorably small.

The mechanical interlocking system used to connect components together was found to be reliable as it effectively transfers bending loads from the double-H-plank to adjacent connected components even when the connection rotation is greater than 12°.

Relative connection rotation.

This failure is due to the combined action of connection rotation and shear load.

The modified Burgers creep model consists of linear springs and viscous dashpots that predict the time-dependent connection rotation.

A pilot test specimen designed by following the proposed procedure exhibited sufficient cyclic connection rotation capacity without fracture.
