Sentence examples for performance of structural elements from inspiring English sources

In this paper a comparison of the mechanical performance of structural elements built in three basic techniques, earth block (adobe) masonry, rammed earth and cob, is presented.

Although several research programs have investigated the performance of structural elements made of lightweight concrete, there is a limited understanding of the behavior of lightweight shear walls under seismic conditions.

This comparison revealed that the adopted retrofitting strategies can restore and even enhance the performance of this type of structural elements, mainly when the solution based on four-sided jacketing is used.

However in the design of beams the performance of the structural elements is often limited by the serviceability requirements, which are related to the serviceability limit state (SLS) using different load combinations than applied in the ultimate limit state.

The paper presents a numerical approach for the optimal design of any unidirectional fiber-reinforcement to improve the structural performance of existing structural elements.

The performance of the structural elements (serviceability and strength) depends not only on the material properties, but mainly on the moment of inertia of the cross section.

The structural behavior based on the rate of strain increase of the novel mechanical beam-column joints with laminated metal and concrete plates including the extended endplates, rebar, and steel flanges was numerically investigated to understand the structural performance of the structural elements comprising the proposed mechanical joints for frames.

These values are appropriate for lifetime (or "ultimate") design in which the relative safe performance of the structural element or system is of concern.

The seismic performance of non-structural elements is nowadays recognized to be a key issue in performance-based earthquake engineering.

This observation suggests that the uniform application of an inference algorithm that shows a noticeable bias in its performance induced by structural elements of the network is a suboptimal strategy.

The parameters obtained are used for constructing a reliable finite element model to envisage the performance of the new structural elements before printing.
