Sentence examples for serviceability checking from inspiring English sources

It has been shown that the wind-induced acceleration is inversely related to the natural frequency of tall buildings within the range of frequency for serviceability checking.

This approach assumes that, among the infinite number of harmonics a walking force is composed of, only a single harmonic is important for a vibration serviceability check.

An accurate estimate of natural frequencies is essential to correctly predict wind-induced acceleration for serviceability checks in the design of tall buildings.

To account for these variabilities, a novel probabilistic approach to carry out a vibration serviceability check is developed in this paper.

In vibration serviceability checks of footbridges, a force induced by a single person walking is usually modelled as a harmonic force having a frequency that matches one of the footbridge natural frequencies.

Design guidelines outline procedures for vibration serviceability checks, but it is noticeable that they rely on the assumption that the action is deterministic, although in fact it is stochastic as different pedestrians generate different dynamic forces.

For serviceability checks of footbridge designs it would seem reasonable to consider modelling the stochastic nature of the main parameters describing the excitation, such as for instance the load amplitude and the step frequency of the pedestrian.

In order to examine whether the net tensile stress (Δf ps ) of the prestressing strands exceeds the limitation specified in design codes for serviceability check of the Class C PSC members, the proposed method do not require the cracked section analysis that involves very complex and time-consuming iterative calculations.

The design criteria for the ultimate limit check and serviceability limit check of Shanghai tower for wind loads were discussed.

The only detailed guidelines developed worldwide specifically for checking vibration serviceability of post-tensioned office floors have been published by the UK Concrete Society in 1994.

In most limit state design codes, the serviceability limit checks for drilled shafts still use deterministic approaches.
