It is essential to quickly restore the strength and stiffness of columns after its damage for maintaining the serviceability of the building.
Reliability of building performance is described in terms of the probability of exceeding the critical values by the physical measures as a result of the changes of physical state of a building due to variations of climatic, structural or serviceability parameters.
Accelerated aging methods are needed to estimate the potential long-term serviceability of building materials under environmental conditions of use.
Vibrations imposed by the action of normal occupant activities may affect the structural serviceability of many modern building structures, in terms of causing physical or psychological discomfort and general distress to occupants.
Hanging off the side of a building.
This yielding jeopardizes the serviceability of these buildings as it results in residual lateral deformations.
Issues related to the processes of maintenance and ensure the continued serviceability of heritage buildings and civil engineering structures are closely related to the processes of assessment of their technical state, repair and strengthening procedures.
Moreover, Mr. Friedman's prose style -- an occasionally flat Midwestern demotic punctuated by gee-whiz exclamations about just how doggone irresistible globalization is -- lacks the steely elegance of a Lippmann, the unobtrusive serviceability of a Scotty Reston or the restless fireworks of a Maureen Dowd and is best taken in small doses.
Angular distortion caused by differential settlement critically influences the damage to and serviceability of a structure.
To improve safety and serviceability of super-tall buildings in strong winds, aerodynamic optimization of building shapes is considered to be the most efficient approach.
Understanding the properties of concrete under load is essential for assessing the stability and serviceability of buildings.
