inspectors can recognize the errors untrained contractors make. GETTING THE BIG PICTURE WHAT IS A SHEAR WALL? Shear walls are vertical elements of the horizontal force resisting system. They are typically wood frame stud walls covered with a structural sheathing material like plywood. When the sheathing is properly fastened to the stud wall framing‚ the shear wall can resist forces directed along the length of the wall. When shear walls are designed and constructed properly‚ they will have the

advanced analytical techniques made possible by computers have permitted the use of steel in just about any rational structural system for tall buildings. Chapter 2: Comparison between types of structures (Steel‚ in-situ‚ precast) STEEL | CONCRETE | PRECAST | Strength Pre engineered steel buildings are stable‚ resistant and possess intensely hard material strength. The primary structural component of a steel building is steel‚ a metal alloy of soft iron and carbon. The carbon content in steel determines

Homework 2 Solution 1. Consider the diagram of the electronic system‚ which shows the probabilities of the system components operating properly. The entire system operates if assembly III and at least one of the components in each of assemblies I and II operates. Assume that the components of each assembly operate independently and that the assemblies operate independently. What is the probability that the entire system operates? 0.9 0.9 0.8 0.8 0.7 I II III 0.95 Solution: P = [1-(1-0.9)*(1-0

Models of Therapy Structural Family Therapy Theory: Structural Family Therapy (SFT) has a few interventions within the theoretical model that I could see myself using with clients (families) from diverse backgrounds with diverse presenting problems. I am in agreement with the way this model looks at the different types of families and the types of issues they present with such as the patterns common to troubled families; some being "enmeshed‚" chaotic and tightly interconnected

are generally unsuitable in weak or highly compressible soils‚ such as poorly-compacted fill‚ peat‚ recent lacustrine and alluvial deposits‚ etc. Pad foundations Pad foundations are used to support an individual point load such as that due to a structural column. They may be circular‚ square or reactangular. They usually consist of a block or slab of uniform thickness‚ but they may be stepped or haunched if they are required to spread the load from a heavy column. Pad foundations are usually shallow

Executive summary The organizational structure of the current company was found to be a flat hierarchy with the departmentalization by function. New proposed structure is advised to be matrix with the functional and service divisions. Contingency models were used by: Joan Woodward‚ James David Thompson‚ Charles Perrow and Burns and Stalker. Models have explained the influence of the situational variables of task‚ technology and size on the creation of the new organizational structure. 1. Introduction
