Chapter 1: Introduction to Seismic Vulnerability Assessment 1. Background Earthquakes and other natural hazards can create disasters of uncontrollable magnitudes when they hit large metropolitan areas. Earthquake risk assessment is used to quantify potential social and economic losses from earthquakes. Risk assessment is an integral part of disaster mitigation. It provides the critical information about on the characteristics of potential disasters in a region and allows planners to identify

Summery introduction This project will go into depth of the usage of material selection. After being paired with a fellow student we were given the task of testing 0.1% Carbon Steel‚ 0.4% heat treated steel along with a unknown specimen. To test these materials I will be using 4 types of methods Visual Inspection Hounsfeild Tensometer Torsion

Christopher’s actions drive the plot is when Christopher finds Wellington the poodle belonging to Mrs. Shears‚ his neighbor‚ dead on Mrs. Shear’s lawn with a garden fork through its side. Christopher touches the dog’s muzzle and observes that it is still warm. Automatically‚ he wonders who killed Wellington‚ and why. Acting on impulse‚ Christopher removed the garden fork and picked up Wellington. Mrs. Shears appeared on her patio and yelled at Christopher to get away from her dog. This sent Christopher

Introduction The Braden Scale is a tool that is used to measure patients at risk for developing pressure ulcers. A pressure ulcer is an injury to the skin over a bony prominence on the body. Pressure ulcers are staged depending on the severity of the injured tissue. A registered nurse administers the Braden Scale in a hospital setting or long-term care facility. The Braden Scale is administered by assessing the patient’s risk for developing pressure ulcers depending on the scores from the specific

Application of the Triaxial test in engineering practice The information such as the shear strength parameters and the cohesion that obtained from triaxial test can be used to check the safety and predict the behaviors of long-term stability of slopes‚ earth fills and earth retaining structures. The analysis carried out in terms of total stress obtained from undrained test can be used to investigate the initial stability of the foundation of a structure or embankment on saturated clay.

mode as well as some other mechanical properties of resistance spot welding. Fusion Zone increases as the welding current increases because of more generation of heat at the interfaces of the two sheets. It is quite evident after the static tensile-shear test that at low welding current (>8kA) the overload failure mode of the spot welds was interfacial fracture but as soon as the current is increased and subsequently FZ is also increased‚ overload failure mode changes from interfacial fracture to nugget
