Sentence examples for drift distribution from inspiring English sources
The moment frames with a near uniform interstory drift distribution somewhat have a uniform plastification over the structural height.
The present paper aims to provide a simple alternative method for the prediction of the storey drift distribution and the critical drift concentration in a RC frame.
An iterative approach is also developed to determine the design strength (and stiffness) pattern needed to achieve a prescribed ductility (or drift) distribution according to different dynamic characteristics of the structure and earthquake.
The findings show that the method produces buildings that have a more uniform drift distribution along its height, with important reductions in the bottom stories and an increase in the top stories.
The results demonstrate that the retrofit scheme helped develop a more uniform story drift distribution, working to counter the soft-story mechanism commonly found in reinforced concrete frames designed during this period.
However, for a more realistic prediction of the seismic demands, especially in the context of the performance based design, an appropriate estimation of the storey drift distribution is necessary.
Results indicate that the inverse of the storey capacity factor correlates well with the storey drift distributions.
Nonlinear static pushover analyses are conducted to demonstrate the beneficial contribution of the RC in mitigating non-uniform inter-story drift distributions in the benchmark buildings.
Pandey et al. [22] have studied oblique whistler mode instabilities for a generalized drifted distribution function in the presence of perpendicular AC electric field by the method of characteristic solution.
In the right panel, the estimated drift velocity distribution is shown with white arrows and the distribution of the uncertainty of the drift velocity is shown with color scale.
The natural frequency, acceleration amplification factor, storey drift, and distribution of horizontal seismic actions for the model structure were investigated.
