This is more evident in the central core than in the surrounding cortical region, for the pattern is not disturbed by the insertion of lateral members.
From a developmental point of view, the flower can be regarded as a shoot axis of determinate growth, with the lateral members occupying the sites of leaves differentiating as floral organs sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils.
Cloud Gate is further buttressed by lateral members underneath the plaza that are anchored to the sculpture's interior structure by tie rods.
Through lateral comparison, members may realise that they are not alone or unique in their suffering, but that many others may share similar experiences.
It represents a closed form solution that can estimate lateral displacements and member forces of RWMFs throughout the entire linear and nonlinear static ranges of loading.
In recent years, the steel corrugated shear walls (SCSWs) are widely used in building structures to serve as lateral force resistant members.
To reduce the vulnerability of existing RC columns, the use of externally bonded Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcement has been recognized as an effective method for preventing the aforementioned brittle failure and, hence, increasing members' lateral capacity and ductility.
Conventional light timber frame buildings made with metal fasteners such as nails, screws, rivets or bolts usually use traditional plywood sheathed shear walls as the main lateral load resisting members.
This system includes lateral load resisting members consist of rocking timber panels made of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) and innovative Resilient Slip Friction (RSF) joints as the hold-down connectors at the base.
Which is to say that any sort of lateral event implicating members of different "species" according to some undefined biological species concept, is necessarily going to be asymmetric and require that one of the participants take primary responsibility for outer membranes, cytokinesis, exchange of nutrients and metabolites with the environment, defence, and so on.
