Building materials ultimate strength

Evaluation of Building Response and Tolerance Criteria Principles of evaluating building response to explosion loads are presented in Section 5.5.1. The resulting responses are to be compared to structural capacities in accordance with ultimate strength provisions of the governing material standards (e.g., Refs. 94,99, and 100). Blast loads are large compared to conventional loads and less likely to occur than are such conventional loads,...

A potentially important advantage of the Masing shear building model is that all model parameters, except correspond to actual physical properties (initial stiffness, ultimate strength) and initial estimates can be calculated from material properties and structural drawings. 

Shear strength reduction technique is also named as Strength Reduction Method (SRM), which is used in the stability analysis of slop. The essence of SRM is that the power parameters of geotechnical material (c, q>) decrease and slopes failure appear. At the condition of gravity force, Griffiths 0999) deduce the SRM formula of the slope and build the failure criterion. For pile foundation, the external force is transferred by the complex soil-pile interaction, the theory of pile foundation of SRM is different from slope of SRM, so the estimation of ultimate loading may need to revise or build the new limit analysis theory.
