Sentence examples for prototype frames from inspiring English sources

The collapse capacities of prototype frames were also evaluated using incremental dynamic analyses and FEMA P-695 methodology.

It is observed that the collapse capacities of the prototype frames mainly depended on axial force-carrying capacities of the columns in the lower stories rather than those of the beams and that the use of strong columns improves the collapse capacities of the prototype frames.

The analysis results show that the collapse margin ratios of the prototype frames depend on the amount of base shear carried by their HEDDs and uncertainties on design requirements.

To analyze the influence of the design requirements on collapse responses of steel OCBFs, this study carried out nonlinear static and dynamic analyses of 5- and 10-story prototype frames designed considering different design requirements relating to strengths of beams and columns.

The efficacy of the design method is illustrated by extensive response history simulations for several prototype frame structures.

Analytical models were developed to predict the elasto-plastic behavior of the prototype frame under a series of ground motion records.

In this study, a prototype frame was chosen from a three-story reinforced concrete building that was not designed for earthquake load.

Structural members (beams, columns and slabs) were defined through the design of a full-scale 3D prototype frame subjected to PSD testing campaign; main design hypothesis was to dissipate seismic energy in the joints designed as partial-strength.
