Damage Models and Algorithms for Assessment of Structures under Operating Conditions
Broad quantities of operational information are generated over the years by means of the overall healthiness tracking procedure of a structure’s administration process, but there are few research algorithms which may inform the precise operating country of the constitution online. sturdy upkeep engineers want to know the precise position and kingdom of the structural elements after an earthquake or a few assault or coincidence concerning the constitution, in all likelihood inside a question of hours, and the customer additionally calls for a fast prognosis of the constitution earlier than making judgements on any precious remedial paintings.

ON DEFLECTION CRITERIA FOR MASONRY BEAMS 45 TABLE 5—Comparison of measured and calculated deflection from masonry lintel tests of Lee et al. [12]. Calc deflection, in. ͑mm͒ Measured deflection, in. 0. 0, the numerator is always greater than the denominator. One of the few sources of data on masonry beams are the fourteen full-scale tests of Lee et al. ͓12͔. Four of the beams were simply supported, four were restrained at the ends with large concrete blocks prestressed to the laboratory floor, and six were supported at the ends by varying lengths of wall ͑simulating actual construction͒.
Chimney caps should extend at least 1 in. beyond the veneer face to provide protection against run-off. Movement joints should be designed into the system. De-icing salts should not be used in the areas of adhered veneer. Conclusion Adhered veneer is a popular material for the facing of commercial and residential structures. When good workmanship is combined with quality materials, installations are both aesthetically pleasing and durable. Perhaps the words of a practicing mason, Jeff Leonard, as quoted in Masonry Magazine, best sum up the choice to use adhered veneer: “There are so many different materials you can put on a building now that 38 MASONRY we’ve got to figure out a way to compete.
