Sentence examples for in terms of collapse from inspiring English sources

Performances are defined in terms of Collapse Prevention (CP), Life Safety (LS), and Immediate Occupancy (IO), as commonly used in the profession.

The analyses, performed a priori without considering any kind of imperfection, are closed and in good agreement with the tests in terms of pre-buckling and post-buckling stiffness, as well as in terms of collapse loads.

The main objective of this study is to employ performance-based earthquake engineering procedure to evaluate earthquake-induced risks in modern code-conforming reinforced (RC) concrete moment frames in terms of collapse risk and possible human and financial losses.

Design correlation in terms of cavitational intensity (in terms of collapse pressure and temperatures) and cavitational yield (in terms of OH radicals) aims at understanding the design information related to the dependency of the cavitational intensity and the radical yield on the operating parameters in the case of the hydrodynamic cavitation.

In the present work, the current status of the hydrodynamic cavitation reactors has been reviewed discussing the bubble dynamics analysis, optimum design considerations, design correlations for cavitational intensity (in terms of collapse pressure)/cavitational yield and different successful chemical synthesis applications clearly illustrating the utility of these types of reactors.

These elements seem to be the most appropriate for the design and assessment of masonry buildings because of the simplicity of modelling, the straightforward interpretation of the results, particularly in terms of collapse mechanisms, and the accuracy demonstrated in different validations (Lourenco et al. 2009 and Grande et al. 2011).

Time between now and September 21 will tell if this WSJ "overstatement" (to say the least) will have the same market-distorting effect in terms of collapsing equity prices, which provided some short sellers and opportunistic traders healthy profits when the market turned up strongly after the Fed chose not to "September" and waited until December to begin closing down QE.

The results are analyzed in terms of aftershock collapse capacity, collapse fragility, and collapse capacity at demolition.

The cavitational effects in terms of magnitudes of collapse temperatures and collapse pressure, number of free radicals generated and extent of turbulence are strongly dependent on the operating parameters such as ultrasonic power, frequency, duty cycle, temperature as well as physicochemical parameters of liquid medium which controls the inception of cavitation.

The experimental and numerical results are compared and discussed in terms of both collapse mechanisms and force/displacement capacity.

The paper concludes that the corrosion of prestressing steel in concrete structures poses higher risk to the structure than that of reinforcing steel in terms of structural collapse.
