The ratio of the applied load to a connection and the resulting lateral deformation of the connection in the direction of the applied load.
Industry:Construction
A method of proportioning structural components (members, connectors, connecting elements, and assemblages) using load and resistance factors such that no applicable limit state is exceeded when the structure is subjected to all design load and resistance factor combinations using load and resistance factors such that no applicable limit state is exceeded when the structure is subjected to all design load combinations.
Industry:Construction
The load redistribution mechanism among parallel components constrained to deflect together.
Industry:Construction
A path that seismic forces pass through to the foundation of the structure and, ultimately, to the soil. Typically, the load travels from the diaphragm through connections to the vertical lateral-forceresisting elements, and then proceeds to the foundation by way of additional connections.
Industry:Construction
The period of continuous application of a given load, or the cumulative period of intermittent applications of load. (See time effect factor.)
Industry:Construction
An earthquake-induced process in which saturated, loose, granular soils lose a substantial amount of shear strength as a result of increase in pore-water pressure during earthquake shaking.
Industry:Construction
The angle of plastic rotation between the link and the beam outside of the link derived using the specified base shear, V.
Industry:Construction
Vertical web stiffeners placed within the link.
Industry:Construction
In an EBF, the segment of a beam that extends from column to brace, located between the end of a diagonal brace and a column, or between the ends of two diagonal braces of the EBF. The length of the link is defined as the clear distance between the diagonal brace and the column face or between the ends of two diagonal braces.
