Sentence examples for design drift from inspiring English sources

The campers in Cottage Grove spent half their time agonizing over cultural sensitivity ("We're highly dominated by elderly white engineering types," a stovemaker who'd worked in Uganda told me. "So you get a lot of preposterous ideas that'll never fly in the kitchen") and the other half grousing about "design drift".

CFD methods have become the main method to design drift eliminators.

Code-compliant designs, as well as a proposed modified code design relaxing design drift demands for the investigated buildings, are examined to test their effectiveness and reliability.

Consequently, the intended design drift could be divided by the C 2 factor for a given structural system with degrading hysteretic behavior which would give design target drift for an equivalent non-degrading system.

The force (F_{i; - ;PD}) is determined equal to (P_{i} theta_{u}), where (P_{i}) represents the gravity load at story level i and (theta_{u}) presents the target design drift ratio.

Values up to 3.5 were calculated for the ductility-related seismic response modification factor for the test walls corresponding to design drift levels of 1%.

FBAP carried out all of the experiments and participated in the drafting of the manuscript, PPA participated in the experiments of histological analysis, CMCPG supervised the work of FBAP and PPA, participated in the design drifting of the manuscript and IS coordinated the study and drafted the manuscript.

(Snarkitecture also designed "Drift," the installation at the entrance of the Design Miami tent, a canopy of elongated white balloons that looked as if they were begging to be twisted into large albino dachshunds).

Finally, a criterion for designing drift eliminators in order to optimise both the collection efficiency and the cooling tower's thermal performance is proposed.

BRBs are designed in terms of ductility and strength based on two parameters: the design storey drift Δud, i.e. the maximum accepted storey drift demand for earthquakes with a given probability of occurrence, and the behaviour factor q, which is a seismic force reduction factor correlated with the expected ductility of the structure.

As the particle energy increases in the Alvarez design, the drift tubes become longer, and an increasing proportion of the energy stored in the system is not used for acceleration.
