Deterioration due to corrosion has been a growing concern in the last decades since it compromises the serviceability of structures and results in a decrease of the structural safety.
Since the design of purlins with sleeved bolted connections is often limited by the serviceability limit state, in this case excessive displacement, special attention is given to accurately determining and understanding the moment-rotation behavior of purlin-sleeve systems.
They verify the serviceability limit states.
Consequently, the serviceability of these structures could be reduced drastically.
Deformation control is also important to ensure the serviceability requirements.
The first is what he called the "serviceability" of the good in other words, that the good gets the job done (e.g., luxury and economy cars are equally able to get to a given destination).
The results show the system reliability should be considered for the serviceability performance.
The behavior at the serviceability stage was significantly improved by the prestressed Fe-SMA bars.
The results from the serviceability and ultimate load testing of the floors are documented in detail.
The algorithm accounts for the serviceability and strength constraints as specified in BS5950.
