  2. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    According to the section of tension correction some tapes are calibrated for sag at standard tension. These tapes will require complex sag and tension corrections if used at non-standard tensions. The correction due to sag must be calculated separately for each unsupported stretch separately and is given by:

  3. Hogging and sagging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogging_and_sagging

    Therefore, sagging can reduce her effective cargo capacity – especially if her loadline has already been reached prematurely due to the sag. [5] This is taken into account when calculating cargo, by applying what is called a "3/4 mean draft". This method is also called the "two-thirds mean correction", directly derived from Simpson's first rule.

  4. Geometric design of roads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_design_of_roads

    The profile is the vertical aspect of the road, including crest and sag curves, and the straight grade lines connecting them. The cross section shows the position and number of vehicle and bicycle lanes and sidewalks, along with their cross slope or banking. Cross sections also show drainage features, pavement structure and other items outside ...

  5. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    Long spans generally exhibit physical sag but this does not affect electrical performance. To avoid losses, the conductivity of the tube material must be high. In high current situations where conductors (round or flat busbar ) may be between 5 and 50 mm thick skin effect also occurs at sharp bends where the metal is compressed inside the bend ...

  6. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    As shown in the section on correction formulas, as the length of test specimens is increased and their aspect ratio approaches zero (/), the compressive stresses (σ) approach the true value (σ′). However, conducting tests with excessively long specimens is impractical, as they would fail by buckling before reaching the material's true ...

  7. For a safe investment with $10K – is VOO or GLD a better buy?

    Extended valuations and growing uncertainties (think tariffs and DeepSeek’s lingering impact on the AI revolution) could certainly set the stage for increased market volatility and, yes, perhaps ...

  8. Girt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girt

    The girt is commonly used as a stabilizing element to the primary structure (e.g. column, post). Wall cladding fastened to the girt, or a discrete bracing system which includes the girt, can provide shear resistance, in the plane of the wall, along the length of the primary member.

  9. Voltage sag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_sag

    A voltage sag (U.S. English) or voltage dip [1] (British English) is a short-duration reduction in the voltage of an electric power distribution system. It can be caused by high current demand such as inrush current (starting of electric motors, transformers, heaters, power supplies) or fault current (overload or short circuit) elsewhere on the system.
