Story and roof drift ratios play a key role in the assessment of the structural damage of a building if structural displacement can be measured or calculated. In general, for building seismic monitoring, accelerometers are used to compile the responses for analysis instead of using displacement ...
Considering the structures inspected in this study, a pre- liminary value for the coefficient K may be recommended as K ¼ 1; 500 ð6Þ It must be considered natural to impose an upper bound for floor rotations similar to the drift limits existing in the regulations. An appropriate ...
– The first night we slept at her place, I had a terrible dream that I swallowed a snake and when I woke up I started feeling a movement in my chest and this lasted for 18 years! – I did all sort of xray but we couldn’t find anything. – Anytime I get pregnant, I will st...
We use the RSA thingy here at work. They deal with the battery issue by having an expiration date on the back of the fob which is before the expected time the battery would die. Once a year or so I’ve had to call helldesk to get my fob resynchronized, so clock drift happens. Cl...
Jin continues north, back out into barren desert, listening to the music of the blood circling through its veins, filtering the smells that drift in from the landfills that lurk at the edges of its vision. The calluses on its feet thicken, and Jin feels them grow from inside and out. Ev...
When someone passes, their books drift away, like dandelion seed in the wind. * The Economist on Britain’s woes. It strangely omits the cost of housing (this is really, really bad) and the role that Britain’s exclusionary zoning plays in impoverishing Britons. “Plays” is a deliberate ...
Description: `The Lions and the Bride` is a book of dreams and visions. It is a testimony of how the Lord desires to dramatically invade the life of every person, and draw them into a greater devotion to Him. With God`s help, we see how a person matu
They got the catheter in and covered me up, and the anesthesiologists began the process of checking my progress with the medication. They would prick my upper body with a safety pin, then ask me to tell when I felt the same sharp sensation in my lower body — then they’d begin prickin...
Did Zach's parents drift apart from each other as they focused on Zach? Yes. In Zach's mom Laura's memoir, she discusses how as Zach's condition grew worse, she and Zach's father, Rob, pulled away from each other. They didn't want to open up to one another and share the pain ...
4. It is more cost effective to reduce the horizontal drift by means of bracing systems added to the simple framing than to use unbraced frame systems with rigid connections. Actual connections in structures do not always fall within the categories of pinned or rigid connec- tions. Practical ...
