Sentence examples for member sections from inspiring English sources
Design constraints include the limits on inter-story drift and plastic rotation of member sections.
This paper presents a new proportioning method for member sections of single layer reticulated domes based on linear buckling stress obtained from linear buckling analysis using geometric stiffness matrices.
Refined plastic-hinge methods allow the simulation of the combined effect of gradual joint-stiffness degradation, and distributed plasticity along the member length as well as across the member sections.
The design procedure starts with assumed member sections, continues with the drifts, damage, plastic rotation and plastic hinge pattern checks for the damage, the ultimate and the serviceable limit states and ends with the adjustment of member sizes.
The iterative design procedure starts with assumed member sections, continues with the response checks for the damage, ultimate and service limit states and ends with the adjustment of member sizes so as all the response checks to be satisfied for all limit states.
To improve the buckling capacity of space domes, an optimization model against instability, which takes the maximization of gra_rmin as the objective and the member sections as discrete variables, is formulated subject to the constraints on design specifications and steel consumption.
Fire resistance is governed by steel strength, the member section factor, types of protective measure taken, and load.
