Experiments to study seismic drift of reinforced concrete structures
… to provide benchmark data for studying nonlinear drift response. Test variables included strength and initial period of the specimen, and frequency content and intensity of simulated earthquake motions.

Experiments and analyses to study the seismic response of reinforced concrete frame-wall structures with yielding columns
… to study the effect on lateral displacement response of two factors. These were the effects on drift response of (1) using slender walls in frames with yielding columns and (2) placing a structural hinge at the base of slender walls to reduce strength and stiffness requirements for the …

Prototype Development and Feasibility Assessment of a Vertically Mounted Floating Element Skin Friction Balance
… further investigations are required into the drift response of the floating element balance. The strain measurements are also employed to calibrate the balance using a linear curve fit with a coefficient of determination of R^2 = 0.99, indicating a satisfactory linear estimation.

Analysis and Testing of a Ready-to-Assemble Wood Framing System
… data. Tests were conducted to measure the load-drift response of the RTA shear walls.

Detection and identification of mechanisms and trends of sea ice drift variability in the Southern Ocean
… hourly-to-daily sea-ice concentration and drift variability. A new algorithmic approach that is sensitive to the detection of rotational sea-ice drift features from satellite data at spatial and temporal scales comparable to that of polar weather is proposed, yielding a novel index for …

Response of high-strength steel reinforced concrete structures to simulated earthquakes
… post-cracking stiffnesses, reach comparable peak drift during a given ground motion. This is a question about drift demand, not drift capacity. The impact of changes in steel strength on drift capacity has been examined by others and is not the subject of this study.</p> <p>Four nominally …
