Sentence examples for structural drift from inspiring English sources

Such set of NF earthquakes is used solely in "Pounding of RNC-isolated structures with adjacent rigid structures" with the aim of producing the maximum possible structural drift and structural displacement at the topmost floor of the RNC-isolated structure.

It is a reliable and practical alternative to conventional framing systems in that it can enhance the earthquake resistance of existing and new structures and provide the rigidity needed to satisfy structural drift limits while delivering a stable and substantial energy absorption capacity.

The structural drift obtained was up to 9.0%.

Structural drift limit states (e.g., IO, LS, or CP) based on FEMA-356 are defined on each IDA curve, and the corresponding capacities are calculated.

Structural ductility,μ, is defined in terms of maximum structural drift (Δ max ) and the displacement corresponding to the idealized yield strength (Δ y ), as given in Eq. (6).

The industrial and residential types of connections showed stable load displacement cycles with high energy dissipation up to structural drift of 2%, though a significant level of pinching and deterioration of the critical section have occurred at around 3% drift level.

Useful additional information is provided by the total dispersions of the structural component drifts corresponding to a designated damage state, these dispersions being large regardless of the damage state.

In many approaches, RMSD has been used not only for fitting but also for directly (and successfully) quantifying molecular deformations [ 15], including structural changes, drifts, and trends [ 16].

Unveiling specific interactions between MNPs and the molecular structure of ORMOSIL, this work investigates subtle structural aspects through DRIFT spectroscopy.

Structural and nonstructural drift and acceleration fragility functions are subsequently developed based on nonlinear time-history analysis results.

We present diverse sources of uncertainty that impinge on the posterior predictive density for inflation, including model uncertainty, policy drift, structural shifts and other shocks.
