I have a stand-alone PC with no network connection running Windows 7 (64bit) and the system clock loses about 1 minute per week. Is this level of drift considered "normal" or is it a dodgy RTC or a Windows configuration issue or something else?
I went to every single NL international event and the vibe is always like no other. The cars are awesome, we have an international family there, plus, the level of driving skills is high. No matter if you just walk the pits and have a chat with friends, or if you watch the track action with all these low and stylish cars, its the most fun you can have at an event in Europe. Ill come back again and again and again.
From my understanding, the Total Displacement at the roof level should equal the sum of the displacements of both the roof and second floor level and the story drift is the net difference between the two.
However, when I check the drift a point at the roof level the total displacement shown is only shown for the roof level and not for the entire building and I am getting a zero output for the lower second floor.
In this model the diaphragms are rigid, but partial. If you request drift results at a point that is outside of the slab edge or inside of an opening at some level, then the displacement of that level/point is 0. Be sure to select points that are common on all levels to get relative story displacements.
All I am saying is that the exact plan location of the selected point for drift matters. Is it on the deck or not? If yes, then you should get deflection values, if not, then zero. Since your model has two partial levels that don't really overlap and then the ground level below that, I would not expect anything more than one set of drift values anywhere.
This article is the second of a two-part article on ASCE 7-16, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, and its provisions for lateral drift determination. The first article (STRUCTURE, July 2019) discussed main points influencing seismic drift computation. In this article, the effect of soil flexibility and cracking of reinforced concrete elements on seismic drift computation of structural systems is addressed. It also discusses the determination of the level of loads for checking wind drift, return periods of wind speed maps, and allowable wind drift limits. A brief comparison between seismic drift and wind drift, in connection to their nature, and a determination procedure is covered.
Selecting reduction factors for different seismic systems in association with their behavior under seismic forces is not clearly stated in ACI 318-14; however, engineering judgment may be employed to select the best value for stiffness reduction based on the type of seismic lateral force resisting system and the intended level of nonlinear deformation.
Wind design has been brought into strength level design since 2010 (ASCE 7-10). As a result, many changes have been incorporated in comparison to older versions. Unlike seismic drift, which is determined at the strength load level, wind drift is still a serviceability concern and thus calculated at the service load level (low mean recurrence interval, MRI). Since 2010, ASCE 7 has considered two wind load levels, which are the strength load level (high mean recurrence interval, MRI) maps with MRI 300, 700, 1700, and 3000 years and the service load level (low mean recurrence interval, MRI) maps with MRI 10, 25, 75, and 100 years. The strength load level is used for checking strength design requirements while service load level is used for complying with serviceability requirements such as drift and vibration.
To understand story drift, also known as inter-story drift, we first need to understand story displacement. Story displacement is the deflection of a single story relative to the base or ground level of the structure. Intuitively, we can expect higher total displacement values as we move up the structure. So, a graph showing the story displacement vs. the height of the structure looks exactly like the deflected shape.
Story drift then is the deflection of a single story relative to the previous story. Because the story drift is relative to the nearby levels, we can expect a different looking graph when comparing story drift to the height of the structure.
The calculation of story drift is very simple, given the story displacements from structural analysis. In general, to find the story drift of level "X", you would take the story displacement of level "X", and subtract it from the story displacement of level "X-1". For example, the story drift of level 4 is equal to the total story displacement of level 4 minus the story displacement of level 3.
Glyphosate is a widely used broad-spectrum postemergent herbicide used for weed control in both agricultural and nonagricultural settings. Spray drift of glyphosate can pose a risk to nontarget terrestrial plants and plant communities outside the intended area of application, but the lack of a well-established predicted-no-effect drift rate makes properly assessing such risk difficult. For this reason, a literature review and meta-analysis was carried out with the aim to determine the level of drift that is likely to cause harm to plants and to explore what spray-reducing targets would be sufficiently protective. No-observed-adverse effect rates, lowest-observed-adverse effect rates, and effect rates giving 10, 25, and 50% effects were extracted from a total of 39 different publications. The data were combined per species, and species sensitivity distributions were constructed and fitted with a log-logistic model to assess protectiveness. No systematic differences were detected between the responses of monocotyledons or dicotyledons, but wild plants were found to be generally less sensitive to glyphosate drift than domesticated plants. The results indicate that restricting spray drift to a level below 5 g a.e./ha would protect approximately 95% of all higher plant species against minor adverse effects of glyphosate drift and that rates below 1 to 2 g a.e./ha would be almost completely protective. No studies were encountered that evaluated effects of spray drift against nonvascular plants, and therefore, the conclusions are only valid for vascular plants.

The Agency's current focus on pesticide spray drift is within relatively short distances (up to 1Ú2 mile) from the application site in which most deposition occurs. However, EPA recognizes that under certain circumstances lower levels of pesticides may drift considerably farther. For the purpose of this draft notice, EPA limits the meaning of the term "spray (or dust) drift" to the following definition:
The Agency recognizes that pesticide vapor and the off-target movement of pesticides by other means, not included in this definition, can nevertheless present substantial risks to humans and the environment. EPA generally addresses these routes of exposure and associated risk at the individual pesticide level through its regulatory programs.
EPA recognizes that some de minimus level of drift would occur from most or all applications as a result of the uses of pesticides. The Agency believes the approach set forth here will not have an undue impact on agriculture or other uses of pesticides. EPA believes many responsible applicators already take added measures to control drift. This position and new labeling will clarify expectations for applicators and set definitive standards for application practices. For many years EPA and many states and tribes have had requirements or policies prohibiting drift. Wording to this effect (e.g., "Do not allow drift." and "A person may not apply a pesticide when wind speed exceeds 10 miles per hour.") appears on many pesticide product labels and/or in state laws (see Theodore A. Feitshans, An Analysis of State Pesticide Drift Laws, San Joaquin Agricultural Law Review, vol. 9(1), 1999). Enforcement authorities have carried out their actions to enforce such language in a reasonable manner. That position and label wording prohibiting drift are at least as, if not more, restrictive than the position and new wording expressed in this notice.
The Agency believes that the new labeling statements provides improvements over current labeling which is inconsistent or inadequate and for many products unclear to applicators and others. Use of the new statements, or some variation, by registrants for all affected products will provide a level of consistency among product labels. The statements also address for each application method specific application requirements that are key to drift mitigation. These application requirements are based on the Agency's conclusions of the supporting science of drift. And, the Agency has written the labeling statements in a manner that it believes the meaning is clear and enforceable and allows flexibility for the use of new application technology. These are labeling characteristics that meet the interests expressed by stakeholders as mentioned above.
The Agency intends to use the above considerations for any additional label statements that are beyond the generic statements for specific products. These additional statements may be applicable for certain products depending on their levels of toxicity, use patterns, predicted spray drift deposition and reported incident history in order to meet the Agency's responsibility for ensuring that products do not result in unreasonable adverse effects to humans or the environment.
As stated above, the Agency may see the need for no-spray zones or other risk reduction measures for products associated with higher risks from drift. As defined above, the purpose of a no-spray zone is to provide a distance for drifting pesticide particles to dissipate before contacting sensitive areas or people. Since higher wind speeds generally result in higher levels of drift from the target site, a no-spray zone would be calculated for a product label using the highest wind speed allowed by the label. Conversely, lower wind speeds result in lower drift; however spray drift modeling suggests that applications under these conditions still may result in unacceptable deposition for certain pesticides. Also, low winds are generally highly variable in direction--gusts frequently blow contrary to the predominant wind direction.
