- Company Profile:
A frame provided with restrained connections between the beams and columns to permit the frame to resist lateral forces through the flexural rigidity and strength of its members.
Industry:Construction
A steel or composite steel and concrete concentrically braced frame in which members and connections are designed for ductile behavior.
Industry:Construction
A diagonally braced frame in which at least one end of each brace frames into a beam a short distance from a beam-column joint or from another diagonal brace.
Industry:Construction
A braced frame in which the members are subjected primarily to axial forces.
Industry:Construction
An essentially vertical truss, or its equivalent, of the concentric or eccentric type that is provided in a building frame system or dual frame system to resist shear wall.
Industry:Construction
Those connections between equipment components that permit rotational and/or translational movement without degradation of performance. Examples include universal joints, bellows expansion joints, and flexible metal hose.
Industry:Construction
Reference resistance multiplied by the time effect and resistance factors. This value must be adjusted for other factors such as size effects, moisture conditions, and other end-use factors.
Industry:Construction
A facility or structure required for post-earthquake recovery.
Industry:Construction
Those structural members or assemblies of members or manufactured elements, including braces, frames, legs, lugs, snuggers, hangers or saddles, that transmit gravity load and operating load between the equipment and the structure.
