Gravity load

In 1965 a powerful explosion and ensuing fire occurred while gravity loading kerosene to a barge under conditions producing excessive bubbling, foaming and turbulence [111]. The explosion occurred at much less than the...

Vertical Nano-motion System In order to achieve vertical nano-motion control, one of the most important issues is to compensate the gravity load of the vertical moving body.

Answer by author Tests have not been performed with liquid transfer systems operating under unusual acceleration loads. Of course, infrared cooling applications are rarely expected to require operation for prolonged periods under high-gravity loads and residual capacity can be provided in the system to assure continued cooling during short periods of interrupted liquid flow."... 

B) When vertical loads imposed on crossbraces exceed a 240-pound gravity load distributed on a one-foot section of the center of the crossbrace. 

Each column anchor rod (anchor bolt) assembly, including the column-to-base plate weld and the column foundation, shall be designed to resist a minimum eccentric gravity load of 300 pounds (136.2 kg) located 18 inches (.46m) from the extreme outer face of the column in each direction at the top of the column shaft. 

Static pushover analyses are conducted for the reference building in order to estimate its ultimate strength and ductility capacity. Gravity loads are applied to the building...
