- Company Profile:
Soils supporting the foundation system and resisting vertical and lateral loads.
Industry:Construction
A structural component transferring the weight of a building to the foundation soils and resisting lateral loads.
Industry:Construction
Connections between 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
Plane or zone along which earth materials on opposite sides have moved differentially in response to tectonic forces.
Industry:Construction
Complete collection of all energy dissipation devices, their supporting framing, and connections.
Industry:Construction
Non-gravity-loadsupporting element designed to dissipate energy in a stable manner during repeated cycles of earthquake demand.
Industry:Construction
An assembly of structural components that act together in resisting lateral forces, such as momentresisting frames, braced frames, shear walls, and diaphragms.
Industry:Construction
The distance from the edge of the member to the center of the nearest fastener. When a member is loaded perpendicular to the grain, the loaded edge shall be defined as the edge in the direction toward which the fastener is acting.
Industry:Construction
A diagonal braced frame in which at least one end of each diagonal bracing member connects to a beam a short distance from a beam-to-column connection or another brace end.
