An experienced inspection engineer will attempt to identify the characteristics of a given structure to determine potential. specific critical damage mechanisms. No individual major concrete structure can be adequately analysed by simple mass-accumulation of data and using criteria, which are based on standard codes. This does not mean that either data-collection or available criteria are not useful, but they should be exercised with care and flexibility and the procedures for inspection customised for the given structure. 

Before installing a new chain, carefully check all sprocket teeth. If the teeth are worn to a hooked shape, the sprockets should be replaced to assure full-capacity performance and satisfactory life from the new chain. Because chain drives are not as flexible as belt drives, caution must be exercised during installation. The following steps should be observed during installation ... 

All living organisms have two primary objectives to maintain their vital functions and to relay their genetic information by reproduction. To exercise this task successfully a creature has to react flexibly upon its environment. It has to escape from enemies, it has to adapt to changes in temperatures like heat or... 

When you have accomplished this, move your consciousness up and down the Lightning Flash until you become flexible. This is a good foundation exercise for mental agility. 

Exercise 12-22 If the twist-chair conformation 8 were rigid rather than flexible, how many different monochlorocycloheptanes would you expect (a) excluding mirror-image isomers and (b) including mirror image isomers ... 

Exercise 29-7 When polyethene (and other polymers) are irradiated with x rays, cross-links are formed between the chains. What changes in physical properties would you expect to accompany such cross-linking Would the polyethene become more flexible Explain. 

Exercise is divided into three types—aerobic, strength, and flexibility. A well-designed exercise plan includes all three types. 

If you find you aren t participating in these activities, you may need to add regular flexibility exercise to your schedule. Here are four exercises that stretch the major muscle groups. Because a warm muscle is easier to stretch, do 5 to 10 minutes of light aerobic activity before you begin. Then, stretch until you feel tension in the joint and hold at that point for 10 seconds. Return to the starting position and repeat the exercise three times. As your flexibility increases, gradually increase the duration of the stretch to 30 seconds and the repetitions to five. 

Without regular, proper exercise you ll be ten times stiffer at age 60 than you were at age 10. Increased flexibility is the first benefit to show up after you start exercising. You will see and feel results in only two or three weeks. 

A well-rounded exercise program addresses three needs—aerobic conditioning, strength development, and flexibility. 

Most active adults get enough flexibility exercise, but as people age, they tend to become less active.
