To illustrate the behaviour of the system, which combines pre-tensioning and self-tensioning (pre + self-tensioning), a structural floor with a span (L) of 12 metres, subjected to
permanent loads with a value [G.sub.k] = 2.0 kN/[m.sup.2] (which includes the self-weight and
permanent load) and variable loads with a value [Q.sub.k] = 5.0 kN/[m.sup.2], is analysed.

Permanent load, [G.sub.k] = 2.07 kN/[m.sup.2].
Engineer Saeed G Al Romaithi, CEO of Emirates Steel, said: "To meet the requirements of our customers and to further expand our product range, we are developing a wide portfolio of sheet piles, a range that possesses significant and highly cost-effective structural and pile driving properties." Steel sheet piles are technical products that can perform a wide variety of functions: in particular their application is in constructing both temporary and
permanent load bearing retaining walls.
The backfill passive pressure (abutment moves far from backfill) resists bridge against applied load while active pressure (abutment moves toward backfill) is a
permanent load on the abutments.
where: [q.sub.Q] is the variable load; [q.sub.G] is the
permanent load; and [q.sub.QP] is the quasi-permanent load.
By using the test mode I, the time dependence of [alpha] was measured at a
permanent load P (creep):
Having evaluated the self weight, the
permanent load and design loads, bending moments were calculated.
First, the
permanent load at motor/machine standstill is reduced; second, the consumption depending on the process is dynamically adjusted considering the target completion times/dates (partial load operation); and third, energy is saved during processing by switching off components that are not required at a particular time or point in the process (partial machine operation).
The bending moments of beams [M.sub.G], [M.sub.Q] and [M.sub.S] are caused by
permanent load G of steel roof structures and hanging crane crabs, variable loads Q and S of scrap metals and snow depth.
Reducing energy as a means to cut operating costs is better for the environment and can serve as a catalyst for
permanent load shedding.
To that end, we adopted a resolution in 2005 to purchase and install
permanent load shifting technology from Ice Energy on all applicable city buildings."
