Good Design Sample Clauses

Good Design. Infrastructure codes and standards Norms of engineering designs, materials, and retrofit strategies have been developed to enhance the ability of infrastructure elements to withstand natural hazards. Many design and engineering standards already contribute to ensuring resistance and reliability of infrastructure. However, the current status of the term "resilience" (and one of its attributes, "robustness"), in structural design codes has been reviewed recently. Today, most structural design codes only give general guidance and no codes offer a suitable method for verification (Xxxx and Xxxx, 2012). The Swiss structural code is a notable exception where robustness is raised as a basic requirement on the same level as economy and durability (Xxxxx, 2010). In some cases, current standards may be sufficient to deal with climate change effects as exemplified by the design standard IEC 61936-1 for outdoor components of electricity networks (see §3.1.2). In other cases, revising design standards and building codes for the infrastructures to ensure that they are appropriate for the extreme conditions is a practical way to build resilience. Concrete example: The New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) is a technical advisory body (climate change and impacts scientists, and legal, insurance, and risk management experts) which advises New York City on climate change science, potential impacts, and adaptation pathways specific to the city’s critical infrastructure. A critical component of the NPCC’s risk management framework for adaptation planning was to define Climate Protection Levels to address the issue of climate change impacts on the effectiveness of current regulations and design standards related to sea level rise and storm surge, heat waves, and inland flooding. Eurocodes: In the European Union, Eurocodes15 are developed by the European Committee for Standardization for the structural design of construction works. It is a set of harmonized technical specifications for building product which provide guidelines to achieve increased protection of constructions against earthquakes and fire16. Since March 2010 the Eurocodes are mandatory for the specification of European public works and are intended to become the standards for the private sector. They replace the existing national building codes. The Eurocodes system has been acknowledged as an important milestone from "prescriptive" to "performance-based" and "risk-informed" approach for building design an...

Related to Good Design

  • Research Design The data generated by excavations at the prehistoric site(s) will be used to examine at least three topics: (1) chronology; (2) technology; and (3) subsistence practices. Insights into changing patterns of community organization may also be granted, as may insights into changes in social organization. The data recovered will then be compared to data from other regional sites.

  • Project Design Applicants must design a project that provides access to health services to enable eligible women and men experiencing health needs to secure and maintain safe and accessible quality screening and diagnostic services, comprehensive family planning, and/ or other women’s health services.

  • The Design Builder shall maintain an occurrence form commercial general liability policy or policies insuring against liability arising from premises (including loss of use thereof), personal injury or death, advertising injury, liability insured under an insured contract (including the tort liability of another assumed in a business contract) occurring on or in any way related to the premises or occasioned by reason of the operations of Design-Builder. Such coverage shall be written on an ISO occurrence form (ISO Form CG 00 01 12 07 or a policy form providing equivalent coverage) in an amount of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and not less than $2,000,000.00 aggregate. Unless otherwise provided, the policy or policies of insurance providing the liability coverage shall include:

  • Study Design This includes a discussion of the evaluation design employed including research questions and hypotheses; type of study design; impacted populations and stakeholders; data sources; and data collection; analysis techniques, including controls or adjustments for differences in comparison groups, controls for other interventions in the State and any sensitivity analyses, and limitations of the study.

  • Schematic Design See Section 2, Part 1, Article 2.1.4, Paragraph 2.1.4.2.

  • Program Design The County Human Resources Department will operate a Catastrophic Leave Bank which is designed to assist any County employee who has exhausted all paid accruals due to a serious or catastrophic illness, injury, or condition of the employee or family member. The program establishes and maintains a Countywide bank wherein any employee who wishes to contribute may authorize that a portion of his/her accrued vacation, compensatory time, holiday compensatory time or floating holiday be deducted from those account(s) and credited to the Catastrophic Leave Bank. Employees may donate hours either to a specific eligible employee or to the bank. Upon approval, credits from the Catastrophic Leave Bank may be transferred to a requesting employee's sick leave account so that employee may remain in paid status for a longer period of time, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of the illness, injury, or condition. Catastrophic illness or injury is defined as a critical medical condition, a long-term major physical impairment or disability which manifests itself during employment.

  • Final Design A.4.1. Provide OWNER with proposed final construction drawings and detailed opinions of probable total Project construction costs in writing for OWNER' s review, prior to completion of the final Contract Documents, so that any changes that may be necessary in accordance with Project' s budgetary schedule can be made prior to bid.

  • ROADWAY DESIGN MISCELLANEOUS (ROADWAY) The Engineer shall provide the following services:

  • Industrial Designs 5. Patents

  • Pavement Design If applicable, the Engineer shall incorporate the pavement design developed by the State for this project. If the pavement design is not available, the State may request the Engineer to perform pavement design and submit to State for review and approval.
