Sentence examples for only for gravity from inspiring English sources

The RC connections tested were designed only for gravity loads, thus rendering the joint cores weaker than the adjoining members when subjected to a lateral load.

To this end, a 2/5 scale one-bay one story RC frame structure designed only for gravity loads (without seismic design consideration) was built in laboratory.

This study aims at evaluating the blast fragility of reinforced concrete columns for two classes of European residential buildings: those designed only for gravity loads according to past codes and those designed for earthquake resistance according to Eurocode 8.

The hinge-connected main structural members, such as beams and columns, were designed only for gravity loads, and the knee-braces were designed to resist all the lateral seismic load.

Explanatory application refers to six classes of Italian rectangular R.C. buildings; three classes are of pre-code  constructions, designed only for gravity loads, whereas the other three considered are of seismic buildings designed with old codes not accounting for capacity design rules.

Two 3D models were developed and analysed for a case-study building: one was designed for earthquake resistance according to Eurocode 8 (EC8); the other was designed only for gravity loads according to codes and practice going back to the 1970s.

Thus, only for the largest gravity and weakest cohesive regolith (milli-G gravity with a regolith strength on the order of 1 Pa) would a cratering event be at the transition point, and for most of the strengths and typical surface accelerations, we are clearly within the strength regime for cratering.

The deformation is most of the time only described as critical for gravity flow sediment confinement.

If I were a betting man, I'd say that 12 Years has the edge over both Gravity and American Hustle for best picture, but when it comes to best director, there doesn't seem to be much in it between McQueen and Alfonso Cuarón (for Gravity) – only the second Mexican film-maker to be named in that category, following Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárritu's nomination for Babel in 2006.
