Generally the collapse occurred as a consequences of: incorrect arrangement of the structure, unsufficient strength and rigidity of main structural elements, and finally of the overloading action of thick ice – snow layer.
The structure of arrestin-2 is shown, with main structural elements color-coded, as follows: N-domain, gray; C-domain, teal; inter-domain hinge, yellow; the part of the C-tail resolved in crystal structures, magenta; finger loop, pink; middle loop (termed 139-loop in arrestin-1), green.
Accordingly, after a design level earthquake, the structure should be demolished or may need major repairs in the main structural elements, which is neither feasible nor economical.
This study introduces a new emerging structural system, called JK system, which uses JK walls as its main structural elements.
The engineer's key decision was to turn those columns into the main structural elements of the entire building, using them to carry almost half the building's weight, as well as to generate all the lateral rigidity for resisting the wind.
This study is developed particularly for slabs and beams, but remarks are made concerning other main structural elements, namely columns and footings.
In one design, the clutch is a separate unit from the main structural element, generally of broad-flanged or universal beam section.
Collagen-based tissue mimics are important in clinical research because collagen is the main structural element in tendons.
The prevailing model of coupling is primarily based on a single structural motif, known as the coupling helices, as the main structural element for the NBD-TMD coupling.
Collagen (type I) is the main structural element of the corneal stroma.
Collagens constitute the main structural element of the interstitial ECM, providing tensile strength, regulating cell adhesion, support, chemotaxis, cell migration and tissue development [ 76].
