Also, Eq. (5), indicates seismic response modification factor in allowable stress design method.
The new values of the variable Cb, the moment modification factor, in the SSRC Guide are proposed as the variable Cb,c to improve the accuracy of lateral torsional buckling strength.
It was also shown that the lightweight concrete modification factor in EC 2 is generally unconservative, while that in ACI 318-08 is conservative for all-lightweight concrete but turns to be unconservative for sand-lightweight concrete with a maximum aggregate size above 13 mm.
While regulation of transcription in the malaria parasite is poorly understood, the conservation of many chromatin-modification factors in the genome underlines the significance of epigenetic mechanisms in this parasite [ 23].
There is, therefore, a natural tendency to put a stamp of approval on any study that uses this methodology, and to assume that the results can then be used in specifying crash modification factors for use in developing treatments for hazardous locations, or in designing new roads using tools such as the interactive highway safety design model (IHSDM).
To investigate the impact of a modification factor for the increased CV risk in AS patients, we used the same modification factors as used in RA, for our group of AS patients.
Modification factors, introduced in EC3, have moved the resistance for certain load distribution from ENV-based values closer to the Russian code.
For the application of the proposed model to design practice, a simplified strength model was also developed, introducing two modification factors involving in the size effect and non-uniform shear stress distribution.
The response modification factors are presented in Fig. 20, which are computed by multiplying the overstrength and the ductility factors.
It is shown from the study that the damping modification factors presently used in Taiwan are obviously smaller than those calculated from the Chi-Chi earthquake.
The damping modification factors (B) are used in seismically isolated building design codes in order to estimate the highly-damped design displacement of isolation systems from its 5%-damped counterpart.
