Sentence examples for stiffening system from inspiring English sources

Therefore, it may be concluded that there is a good chance of removing crossbeams, whereas care must be taken for the further removal of vertical stiffeners, as a steel plate girder bridge without any stiffening system may suffer from rather large deformation under wind load.

It further suggests that there is a good chance of removing crossbeams, whereas care must be taken for the further removal of vertical stiffeners because a steel plate girder bridge without any stiffening system may suffer from rather large deformation under wind load.

Then a transition rigidity ratio of the stiffening system is proposed to reflect the critical value of the stiffening rigidity that the out-of-plane displacements of the corrugated plate are fully restrained at the bolted locations.

As a steel plate girder bridge is a complicated structure consisting of main girders, a concrete slab and a stiffening system, the conventional design does not necessarily reflect the real behavior of a steel plate girder bridge.

The comparison of the shear resistant behavior of SSCSWs with different stiffening rigidities is performed, which indicates that the stiffening system can effectively restrain the out-of-plane displacements of the corrugated wall, and can improve both shear resistance and ductility of the SSCSWs.

The firm's proprietary Rocker Stiffening System, or RSS, was designed and patented to make some of its bigger, expert boards even stiffer and thus deliver better performance.

For some practical engineering applications that the width of the infilled SCSWs in frame structure is much greater than its height, it is common to add vertical stiffening systems to the SCSWs, thus forming the stiffened SCSWs (SSCSWs), and the stiffening system is composed of a pair of vertical stiffeners installed on both sides of the corrugated plate and the connecting high-strength bolts.

On average the displacement ductility is lower for stiffening systems, consistent with push-over analysis based on seismic codes.

Against this background, the three-dimensional finite element analyses (FEA) of steel plate girder bridges are conducted in this study, and three levels of stiffening systems are considered.

For the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, he designed a road-stiffening system that was the first of its kind for a bridge of such length.

The parametric analysis shows that the stability behaviour of ordinary cylindrical latticed shell can be considerably enhanced by the pre-tensioned cable-stiffened system.
