Sentence examples for excessive drift from inspiring English sources

However dynamic analysis results show that these walls can be designed to avoid sustaining excessive drift under moderate-to-severe earthquakes.

However, the Pt:SiC junctions were prone to oxidation effects as well as the formation of platinum silicides at high temperature, which can compromise the junction and lead to excessive drift.

Greater foliage coverage was achieved and the drop size was still sufficiently large to prevent excessive drift.

The results indicate that the behavior of these structures is almost always in the elastic range, and that substantial roof bracing should be installed for this type of structure, to prevent excessive drifts in the weak direction.

Finally, in places where the tide range is of consequence, special mooring arrangements are necessary to restrain excessive lateral drift of the dock as the mooring chains become slack on low water.

Concentrically braced frames are prone to excessive interstorey drift concentrated within a single floor, have a limited ability to redistribute damage across the structure height and experience lateral strength degradation after braces have buckled.

Both of these approaches use material derived from advanced inter-crosses of inbred lines (often with known phenotypic traits), with breeding controlled to prevent excessive genetic drift.

In contrast, screening experiments in shake flasks are usually conducted in batch mode without active pH-control, but with high buffer concentrations to prevent excessive pH-drifts.

In contrast, shake flask experiments are usually conducted in batch mode without active pH-control, but with high initial buffer concentrations to prevent excessive pH-drifts during the cultivation [ 3, 4].

However, recent experimental and analytical investigations showed that the code-compliant BTF system may be vulnerable to the failure caused by the excessive inter-story drift ratio at a certain story (which is defined as the ratio of the inter-story drift to the height of the story) due to formation of the soft-story mechanism.

This design criterion is satisfactory in preventing the structure from collapse against high intensity earthquakes, but it often leads to a very large lateral deformability which brings on excessive inter-storey drift under low intensity earthquakes.
