Sentence examples for model structure designed from inspiring English sources

The analysis results show that the seismic performance of the 4- and 6-story model structure designed with the proposed design procedure agrees very well with the pre-specified design objectives.

In this section the seismic performance of the model structure designed following the strength-based design procedure currently specified in design codes is evaluated.

It also can be noticed that the collapse margin of the model structure designed with friction dampers, model CD_FD, is significantly larger than those of the other model structures.

The results show that the seismic performance of the 3- and 5-story model structures designed in accordance with the proposed method coincide well with the given design objectives.

The analysis results show that the maximum displacements of structures generally decrease as the stiffness of the brace increases, and that the maximum displacement of the model structures designed in accordance with the proposed method corresponds well with the given target displacement.
