composed of vertical elements‚ horizontal elements‚ and the foundation (Fig.1.1). The vertical elements extend between the foundation and the elevated levels‚ providing a continuous load path to transmit gravity and seismic forces from the upper levels to the foundation. The horizontal elements typically consist of diaphragms‚ including collectors. Diaphragms transmit inertial forces from the floor system to the vertical elements of the seismic force-resisting system. They also tie the vertical elements

course of a river. This coursework is underpinned through some key processes/concepts. These are: Dishcharge‚ velocity‚ lateral erosio‚ Bed load and vertical erosoin. Discharge- The discharge of a river is the volume of water which flows through it in a given time. Velocity - The velocity of a river is the speed at which water flows along it. Lateral erosion- Lateral erosion in a river is the wearing away of the sides of the river which makes the channel deeper because rocks being carried

Collaborative Advantage For multinationals‚ it is increasingly difficult to maintain competitive advantage on the basis of the traditional economies of scale and scope. Future advantage will go to those that can stimulate and support interunit collaboration to leverage their dispersed resources. or many years‚ multinational corporations could compete successfully by exploiting scale and scope economies or by taking advantage of imperfections in the world’s goods‚ labor and capital markets. But these

(Bolman & Deal‚ 2008). Some organizations best way of organizing their companies is by using vertical coordination. I learned that these coordinates help control employees work through authority like managers and supervisors. Next‚ rules and policies aid the organization by specifying the standards to be kept in a quality level. In the other hand‚ I learned that lateral coordination is like plan be if the vertical coordination is

position to another. The various types of aircraft motion include; pitch‚ roll‚ yaw‚ climb etc. Pitching: this is the up and down movement of the aircraft’s nose which takes place along the lateral axis. Yawing: this is the left and right motion of the aircraft’s nose which takes place along the vertical axis and is controlled by the rudder. Rolling: this is the differential movement of the wings of the aircraft in an upward or downward direction which takes places along the longitudinal axis

EVOLUTION OF HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS 1.Historical Development In High-Rise Buildings Ancient Skyscrapers - The Great Ziggurat of Babylon Perhaps the most impressive structure in the ancient Middle East‚ the Great Ziggurat of Babylon was built over a span of several decades in the Sixth Century BC. Its seven stories‚ built upon a square foundation‚ stretched 300 feet into the sky. Some think it was the inspiration for the infamous Tower of Babel in the Book of Genesis.

a. This is the component or section of the airplane that is responsible for aerodynamic lift. b. Lift is the force that raises the airplane up. 3. Empennage a. This is the airplane’s tail section which consists of the vertical stabilizer (or vertical fin) and horizontal stabilizer. On most large airplanes the empennage also houses the Auxiliary Power Unit or APU. [pic] 4. Landing Gear a. Typically consists of two main wheels under each wing and a nosewheel

Knitting knitting is a process of fabric forming by intermeshing of loops of yarns. When one loop is drawn through another‚ loop stitch is formed. Stitch may be formed in horizontal or vertical deriction.the two main forms of knitting are: 1.weft knitting 2.
