Sentence examples for seismic I from inspiring English sources

For it is here, tomorrow, that (hurricanes and earth tremors notwithstanding) Washington DC's newest landmark, the Martin Luther King Jr National Memorial, will be opened by President Obama, on the 48th anniversary of the civil rights leader's seismic "I Have A Dream" speech – and practically within audible range of the spot where he delivered it, under Abraham Lincoln's statuesque gaze.

The spatial pattern of the mud volcano's vertical displacement was found to be different for the earthquake-affected periods (I and III) and the inter-seismic periods (II and IV).

Results show that buildings designed without any seismic provision (i.e. those in low seismicity zones) do not survive Lorca record, even with cooperation of masonry infill walls.

The end-face of Ga04 was instrumented with two arrays of acoustic transducers allowing for the active and passive seismic monitoring, i.e. acoustic survey and micro-seismicity.

All the fragility curves irrespective of the repair jacket material, intensity of seismic sequences (i.e., severe MS-severe AS or severe MS-moderate AS) and earthquake type (i.e., far-fault and near-fault) indicate the increase of difference (shift) between fragilities of the unrepaired and repaired bridge as the damage state progresses.

Three levels of seismic magnitudes, i.e., low-level, frequent earthquake, medium-intensity earthquake and high-intensity earthquake, are investigated.

Further analysis provided results on other parameters which mainly characterise the behaviour of three-leaf masonry under seismic loads, i.e., stiffness degradation, energy dissipation, and viscous damping.

Buildings with seismic design (i.e. those in Lorca and Granada zones) can survive Lorca earthquake only with collaboration of infill walls.

A series of nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed to quantify the influence of different integrated ground motion durations on several seismic demands (i.e. peak displacement, damage dissipation energy, and local damage index) of concrete gravity dam-reservoir-foundation systems.

Furthermore, other features of cyclic behavior of the specimens relevant for their seismic performance, i.e., cyclic stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and viscous damping, were also analyzed and discussed.

The proposed generalized probabilistic fragility curves have been developed as a function of the expected outcrop peak ground acceleration (PGA) as provided by modern seismic codes, i.e. EC8, or the induced permanent slope ground displacements (PGD) for different slope angles, water table level and soil type, foundation typology and seismic design code.
