The box will also perform hourly tests of connection performance, using dedicated servers to conduct speed tests and loading pages from common Web destinations to track latency, delay, failure rates, and the performance of the ISP's DNS servers, which convert each Web address into the IP address that locates a server.
Sheathing configuration, fastener spacing, steel thickness, and fastener type are varied to determine connection performance.
The results from these studies are presented, along with recommendations to insure ductile connection performance.
Furthermore, connection performance of another half-scale precast bridge column utilizing this type of connection was presented.
This paper reports the damage pattern, hysteretic load-deformation response, energy dissipation capacity, and connection performance of the test specimens.
The effect of different parameters, such as through rib stiffener and beam section size, on the connection performance was investigated.
Under these circumstances, the nonlinear connection model proposed here provides a simple and affordable way to account for connection performance in global analysis.
Cover-plate reinforced connections were specified to relocate the plastic hinge beyond the nose of cover plates and away from the face of column to improve connection performance.
Parametric studies were carried out to investigate the full dynamic connection performance and its structural resistance under push-down analysis to simulate progressive collapse.
Based on two relevant load cases, out-of-plane bending and in-plane shear, the connection performance is investigated both for short and long-term durations.
