Consultation, joint

A third-party honest broker to facilitate the effort and provide an outside, neutral perspective. At times, such outside participation will have to keep a project moving. The third party can be a team member or a consultant jointly funded by the partners.

NEHRP Consultants Joint Venture (2011) provides a discussion of the various considerations for development of ground motions for a project. 

SSI can be taken into account in NRHA in different levels of detail from ignoring it (simplest), adding springs at the base of the structure to represent soil and foundation flexibility, through to a direct nonlinear finite element analysis of the soil and its interaction with structural and foundation elements. The recent guide to SSI by the NEHRP Consultants Joint Venture (2012) summarizes the state of practice and requirements of design standards and codes. 

The next edition of ASCE 41 - ASCE/SEI 41-13 (ASCE 2014) - has just been published and expands the remit of ASCE 41 to include the multitiered seismic assessment approach previously found in ASCE/SEI 31-03 (ASCE 2003). The nonlinear response history analysis procedures have been expanded somewhat, reflecting significantly increased application of this method and the availability of research efforts such as Deierlein et al. 2010 NEHRP Consultants Joint Venture 2010, since the publication of ASCE/SEI 41-06. Nonlinear behavior of force-controlled actions is now permitted to allow explicit modeled of post-failure redistribution following brittle failure. Finally, and importantly for this entry, the unreinforced masonry (URM) wall provisions have been updated major changes are that bed-joint sliding is now considered a deformation-controlled action, while the pier rocking mechanism is now limited to lower axial load ratios and for piers at least 6" in thickness.

Where health and safety consultation is in place (e.g. joint safety committees) the structure with regards to members representation should be described. 

These Recommendations expand and replace the Tentative Rules for Carbohydrate Nomenclature [1] issued in 1969 jointly by the IUPAC Commission on the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry and the IUB-IUPAC Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (CBN) and reprinted in [2]. They also replace other published JCBN Recommendations [3-7] that deal with specialized areas of carbohydrate terminology however, these documents can be consulted for further examples. Of relevance to the field, though not incorporated into the present document, are the following recommendations ... 

Another way to establish whether there is a need for mentoring involves consulting first with the people responsible for a company s succession planning. This would typically be the HR/HRD department, but speaking to department heads can also be worthwhile. Jointly, they should be able to provide you with insight into your organization s supply and demand situation. Their databases ought to contain information about ...

The approach to safety assessment recommended by IFBC/ILSI [70] was somewhat guarded about the potential utility of animal models and noted at that time that there were available no suitable methods. However, a somewhat different view was expressed in 2001 in the recommendations deriving from the FAO/WHO joint consultation [71]. In this case one of the conclusions reached was that animal models might contribute valuable information on the likely allergenicity of foods derived from GM crops. Although progress in the development of animal models appropriate for safety assessment predated the publication of the FAO/WHO recommendations, further momentum was provided for research in this area [4, 9, 87-98],... 

The fitter who installed the expansion joint incorrectly could have prevented the fire. So could the person who was responsible for her or his training and supervision so could the designers if they had not specified an expansion joint, had carried out a HAZOP, or had consulted experts so could the author of the company s design standards, and those responsible for the training of designers those responsible for inspection of workmanship, and anyone who kept his or her eyes open when walking round the plant. 

The impact assessment of REACH, commissioned from the consultants KPMG in March 2004 jointly by CEFIC and UNCIE, was discussed by the European Commission on 27 April 2005 and published in May 2005. The findings of the European Commission Joint Research Centre s impact assessment were also discussed, although the study had not been published because of questions over the methodology used.
