May 15, 2020 · • Drain any rainwater that enters building assemblies by employing a water control layer and drainage space to control gravity (hydrostatic pressure). • Employ kerfs, drip edges and flashings to control surface tension.
Jul 14, 2023 · Effective containment methods are crucial for minimizing the risks and consequences of a derailment. Each of the three typical SGMs designed to control post-derailment behaviour has its own strengths and limitations. Vehicle component-based SGMs are integral to the train’s assembly and do not require additional equipment or installation.
Aug 2, 2013 · The tendency to derail is often described by the L/V ratio, where L is the lateral force and V is the vertical force at the wheel-track interface, as shown in Figure 7.6. The higher the L/V ratio...
The UL Guide Information for Fire-resistance Ratings – ANSI/UL 263 states: “Unless otherwise detailed in the individual designs, mastic and intumescent coatings are tested without any covering adjacent to the tested member that might interfere with the expansion of the coating.
This volume sets out to define and explain these geohazards, to detail their detection, monitoring and management, and to provide a basis for further research and understanding, all within a UK context.
fire exposure curves, and implementing heat transfer and structural response analyses for the structural fire-resistant design of concrete and steel structures. The best practice guidelines document is intended to be a technical resource that provides the most complete information for structural fire-resistant design at present.
