"Spain is among the tracks that put the highest lateral loads through the tires all year, so it's important to strike the right balance as always between performance and durability," said Paul Hembery, the director of Pirelli's motor sport program.
Walls sheathed with 12 mm thick reinforced cement boards show 1.5 times higher lateral load carrying capacity than all the tested specimens.
It has been found that SFRC model piles with steel fiber reinforcement ratios of 1% and 1.5% are capable of providing more ductility and higher lateral load carrying capacity while taking lower bending moments compared with the concrete model pile.
Despite violating the requirements of joint dimensions set forth in ACI 318-08, thearthquake-resistantant" joints performed considerably better than the "as-built" joints by preventing or delaying joint shear failure; developing higher lateral load, deformation, and energy absorption and dissipation capacities; and displaying stable overall hysteretic response.
Test results showed that the braced frame resisted higher lateral loads than the moment frame and provided adequate ductility.
But Pirelli will be worried about the high lateral loads through the fast Esses section in the first sector, which would probably be too much for the soft tyre - just as the high-speed corners in India were.
In it Mosley drew an analogy to a hypothetical situation where the engines from one manufacturer had oil starvation problems due to high lateral loading in one corner, and pointed out that those cars would simply have been forced to run slower as a result.
Our biomechanical analyses reveal that if Andalgalornis used its beak in the dispatch of relatively large prey, then it must have been applied with considerable precision in order to avoid sustaining high lateral loads.
In this paper, a method based on genetic algorithm is proposed for determining the optimum connection point with the highest lateral buckling load in the Off-Centre bracing system.
Calculations for a series of critical configurations of RC chimneys, with FRP liner geometries within the practical design limits detailed in this paper, show that the post-fire structural capacity of the chimneys would not lead to catastrophic failures especially because the chimney is not expected to see other high design lateral loads such as wind or earthquake simultaneously.
