No references found			Just having the rebar there provides some structural strength, but when you have a high wind or seismic load, you have to tie them together, and if they are improperly tied or spaced, that can result in problems, he said. STRUCTURAL FLAW MAY STUNT TOWER by Liz Benston and Joe Schoenmann / Las Vegas Sun Almost every type of rigid and flexible pipe is covered, as well as topics such as external loads (including longitudinal loading, seismic loads, and aircraft loads), design of gravity flow and pressure pipes, pipe-soil interactions, testing and modeling, and trenchless technology, ([c]20082005 Book News, Inc. Buried pipe design, 3d ed by SciTech Book News Larger substructures typically are stiffer and attract more seismic load, whereas smaller support elements are more flexible.
