Sentence examples for drift of the model from inspiring English sources

It can be observed that the maximum roof drift of the model structure at the major strength drop is significantly smaller than that of the structure at the maximum allowable inter-story drift of 2.5%.

Natural frequencies and storey drifts of the model structure are obtained from numerical analyses and compared with those from shaking table test results.

Figure 12 shows the inter-story drifts of the model structures obtained from pushover analysis.

However the major drop of strength occurs as a result of yield of the 4th story beam, and the residual strength is larger than that of the model SD. Figure 15 depicts the maximum inter-story drifts of the model structures at the point of the maximum strength and at the maximum inter-story drift of 2.5% obtained from pushover analysis.

Assessment of bare and infilled models emphasizes a lower demand in terms of maximum interstorey drift of the infilled model with respect to the bare model, for both limit states considered.

However, due to the lack of data assimilation in the ocean model, a short spin-up (3 weeks) was used to avoid too much drift of the ocean model from observed conditions.

The frames are then analyzed using nonlinear time-history analysis with 7 earthquake accelerograms and the damage index is investigated through lateral drift profile of the models.
