structure with a design life of 100 years is planned for a site where high-intensity earthquakes may occur with a return period of 50 yr. The structure is designed to have to have a 0.80 probability of not suffering damage within its design life. Damage effects between earthquakes are statistically independent. If the annual occurrence of high-intensity earthquakes at the site is modelled by a Bernoulli sequence, what is the probability of damage to the structure under a single earthquake?

explanation:

One of the benefits of working with chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipe is that it can be cut with a variety of different tools that don’t require any electricity or heat. However, different cutting methods are preferred over others, depending on the application.

When cutting CPVC pipe, it is important to make a square, flat cut. An uneven cut limits the bonding area and weakens the fitting.

To help you make the best possible cut, we’ve put together the following dos and don’ts when cutting CPVC pipe in different situations.
