imposed load

Any imposed load is transferred through the ice to the underlying water.

For this reason, care is needed in designing products to withstand even low imposed loads.

They are especially useful because the coefficient of friction falls with increasing imposed load.

The shell of the tank is designed to accommodate the imposed loads and the general data supplied by the client.

This measure does not correct the existing deflection but it stiffens the floor to imposed load.

The crew's efforts to regain control of the aircraft imposed loads which exceeded the design limits and caused it to break up in flight.

American Century Investments has imposed loads, or sales charges, on 10 of its mutual funds, which will no longer be offered directly to new investors.

Live loads, or imposed loads, are temporary, of short duration, or moving.

It must account for movements and forces due to temperature, creep, cracking and imposed loads.

The small crack so created would then grow slowly under repeated loading from usage until the axle could no longer withstand imposed loads.

Imposed loads for buildings.

The implant failed because of overload, all the imposed loads being concentrated at the connection between the catheter and the bag holding salt solution.

Pretension is tension artificially induced in the structural elements in addition to any self-weight or imposed loads they may carry.

Hertzian contact stress refers to the localized stresses that develop as two curved surfaces come in contact and deform slightly under the imposed loads.

Geocell retaining walls are structurally stable under self- weight and externally imposed loads, while the flexibility of the structure offers very high seismic resistance.

In this test a 10-millimetre diameter hardened steel or carbide ball is pushed into the surface of the material being tested, with a 3000 kg imposed load.

Structural engineering depends upon a detailed knowledge of loads, physics and materials to understand and predict how structures support and resist self-weight and imposed loads.

Imposed loads are those associated with occupation and use of the building; their magnitude is less clearly defined and is generally related to the use of the building.

During efforts to recover the aircraft the pilots imposed loads on the airframe in excess of the aircraft's design limits and the aircraft subsequently broke apart at altitude.

EN 1991-3 specifies imposed loads (models and representative values) associated with cranes on runway beams and stationary machines which include, when relevant, dynamic effects and braking, acceleration and accidental forces.

The storage of grain or many bolts of cloth imposed loads upon the structures of these buildings almost as heavy as the machinery contained in the textile mills and therefore their construction had to be equally robust and similarly fireproof.

EN 1991-2 defines imposed loads (models and representative values) associated with road traffic, pedestrian actions and rail traffic which include, when relevant, dynamic effects and centrifugal, braking and acceleration actions and actions for accidental design situations.

The torsion box uses the properties of its thin surfaces to carry the imposed loads primarily through tension whilst the close proximity of the enclosed core material compensates for the tendency of the opposite side to buckle under compression.

The magnitude of the lithospheric flexure is a function of the imposed load and the flexural rigidity of the lithosphere, and the wavelength of flexure is a function of flexural rigidity alone.

A balanced-reinforced beam is one in which both the compressive and tensile zones reach yielding at the same imposed load on the beam, and the concrete will crush and the tensile steel will yield at the same time.
