overturning moment

The GM position is determined by moving weights transversely to produce a known overturning moment in the range of 1-4 degrees if possible.

With this contact, the wall is subject to story shears, gravity loads, as well as overturning moments much like a continuous shear wall.

However, its investigation revealed errors in the wind overturning moment calculations performed by the shipbuilder and approved by ABS.

A ketch rig allows for shorter sails than a sloop with the same sail area, resulting in a lower center of sail and less overturning moment.

The holdowns provide uplift resistance against the overturning moment imposed on the wall due to "in-plane" lateral load applied at the top of the wall.

Toppling will occur when the overturning moment due to the side force (centrifugal acceleration) is sufficient to cause the inner wheel to begin to lift off the rail.

This is in contrast to other floating concepts which have implemented control strategies that de-power the turbine to compensate for changes in turbine thrust-induced overturning moment.

The added damping so derived, in excess of 6% of critical controls wind-induced motions, achieving occupant comfort objectives, and reduces the design wind overturning moment by a factor of 1.7.

The basic concept is to attach a reinforced concrete masonry panel to a structural steel frame such that some combination of gravity forces, story shears and overturning moments can be transferred to the masonry.

When braking, the inertial force ma in the line of travel, not being co-linear with f, tends to rotate m about f. This tendency to rotate, an overturning moment, is resisted by a moment from mg.

In this paper, the PFI analytical model is then further enhanced by 'modifying' the load-displacement diagram to include the effect of overturning moments on the SPW response, hence the given name of the M-PFI model.

In structural engineering, the P-Δ or P-Delta effect refers to the abrupt changes in ground shear, overturning moment, and/or the axial force distribution at the base of a sufficiently tall structure or structural component when it is subject to a critical lateral displacement.
