bending definition
bending means bending pipes to various angles.
bending phenomenon appears in case of an earthquake because the vibrations of the earth exert forces on the tower that are identical to those caused by wind. In one case, the push on the tower is applied by the wind, in the other instance it is applied on the tower through the earth. Montreal is a high earthquake zone, equivalent to that of San Francisco. their wish was to have the clients abort the concrete alternative. The Institute sent a delegation of specialists to Rome to convince the Immobiliare to espouse steel rather than concrete for the construction of the skeleton. As can be expected from any lobby group, the delegation praised the virtues and benefits of steel, and drew attention to the shortcomings of concrete. The delegation pointed out, quite correctly, that the skyscraper was an American invention that American engineers knew this building type far better than did Europeans, and that Italians were on the verge of committing an enormous error. Inevitably, this committee of “experts” sowed fear in the minds of the Italian clients. As a result of these encounters, the Immobiliare believed a major ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ had been made and consequently commissioned one of New York’s best-known structural engineering firms to evaluate Nervi’s concrete proposal, and if possible, to come up with a cheaper steel solution. In Rome, all structural design work stopped, pending the outcome of the American study. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ were outraged by the client’s reaction to the self-interest of American lobbyists because this concern had surfaced so belatedly in the process. Eventually, the evaluative study proved the American Steel Institute’s claim to be wrong. In fact, the steel solution as proposed by the American consulting engineering firm did not represent a savings but would cost approximately ten percent more. There was an audible sigh of relief in Rome and a sense of victory for ▇▇▇▇▇ who had maintained all along that his solution was by far the least costly.
