Dead load definition

In order to obtain more definitive information about the failure of PMMA we conducted zero-tension sinusoidal fatigue tests at 0.164 Hz l.e., p -f q In equation (4) and the peak stress Is p + q. The results are shown In Table II. Figure 2 shows the comparison of the average times to break with those predicted from equation (5) and the value of B determined from constant stress tests. As can be seen, the predicted times to fall vs. peak stress form a line nearly. parallel to the dead load data and at approximately seven fold greater failure times. The experimental results, however, are lower than the predicted values and show a concave deviation from the predicted values. 

There are two forces acting on foundations of the type under consideration the dead load, acting in a vertical direction and the wind load, acting in a horizontal direction. The combined action of these two forces has the same effect as an eccentric vertical load. It is not necessary to calculate the eccentricity to determine the stability of the foundation. However, because there are definite relationships between eccentricity and stability, they will be explained as a matter of interest. 

The pore/solid phase is further distinguished as transport and dead phase. The basic idea is that a pore phase unit cell surrounded by solid phase-only cells does not take part in species transport and hence in the electrochemical reaction and can, therefore, be treated as a dead pore and similarly for the electrolyte phase.25 The interface between the transport pore and the transport electrolyte phases is referred to as the electrochemically active area (ECA) and the ratio of ECA and the nominal CL cross-sectional area provides the ECA-ratio . It is be noted that in this chapter, ECA is normalized with the apparent electrode area and therefore differs from the definition in terms of the electrochemically active area per Pt loading reported elsewhere in the literature. 

Muraour (Addnl Ref D, p 895), who also investigated this problem, stated that the "densite limite exists only for expl mixts and not for definite chem compds, such as PA, TNT, Tetryl, etc. He also stated that "densite limite must not be confused with the density at which an expl, such as MF, is "dead-pressed lw Loading Density.

Use load and go tactics to remove nonambulatory victims from the hot zone. Leave the dead. Treat symptoms until definitive identification of the agent is made.
