"delivered at frontier" means that the seller delivers when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport not unloaded, cleared for export, but not cleared for import at the named point and place at the frontier, but before the customs border of the adjoining country. The term "frontier" may be used for any frontier including that of the country of export. Therefore, it is of vital importance that the frontier in question be defined precisely by always naming the point and place in the term. However, if the parties wish the seller to be responsible for the unloading of the goods from the arriving means of transport and to bear the risks and costs of unloading, this should be made clear by adding explicit wording to this effect in the contract of sale. This term may be used irrespective of the mode of transport when goods are to be delivered at a land frontier. When delivery is to take place in the port of destination, on board a vessel or on the quay (wharf), the DES or DEQ terms should be used. 3, record 2, English, - delivered%20at%20frontier

«rendu frontière» signifie que le vendeur a dûment livré dès lors que la marchandise a été mise à la disposition de l'acheteur à l'endroit convenu et au lieu frontalier convenu, mais avant la frontière douanière du pays adjacent, sur le véhicule de transport d'approche non déchargé, la marchandise étant dédouanée à l'exportation mais non dédouanée à l'importation. Le mot «frontière» peut être utilisé pour toute frontière y compris celle du pays d'exportation. Il est donc d'une importance capitale de définir avec précision la frontière en cause, en indiquant toujours à la suite du terme DAF l'endroit et le lieu convenus. Cependant si les parties souhaitent que le vendeur assume la responsabilité de décharger la marchandise à l'arrivée du véhicule de transport et de supporter les risques et frais de déchargement, elles doivent l'indiquer clairement en ajoutant une mention expresse à cet effet dans le contrat de vente. Le terme DAF peut être utilisé quel que soit le mode de transport lorsque la marchandise est à livrer à une frontière terrestre. Si la livraison doit se faire au port de destination, à bord d'un navire ou sur le quai, ce sont les termes DES ou DEQ qu'il convient d'utiliser. 4, record 2, French, - rendu%20fronti%C3%A8re

The concept of a dynamic amplification factor (DAF) is used to describe the ratio between the maximum load effect when a bridge is loaded dynamically, and the maximum load effect when the same load is applied statically to the bridge. 2, record 3, English, - dynamic%20amplification%20factor
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The dynamic amplification factor (DAF) is an important parameter in the design of highway bridges and yet no worldwide consensus has been reached so far as to its value. Some disagreement exists between provisions of various national bridge codes. This is because the DAF depends, in addition to the maximum span or the natural frequency, on many other parameters that are difficult to take into account with reasonable accuracy. Vehicle speed, weight, and dynamic characteristics, the state of the structure, roadway roughness, expansion joints, the type of bridge supports, soil-structure interaction, and influence of secondary elements are some aspects influencing the DAF. This study reviews the analytical and experimental findings on bridge dynamics and the evaluation of the DAF. 3, record 3, English, - dynamic%20amplification%20factor

Le facteur d'amplification dynamique (FAD) est un paramètre important dans la conception des ponts routiers. Pourtant il n'existe, jusqu'à maintenant, aucun consensus international quant à sa valeur, et certaines divergences existent entre les recommandations de différentes normes nationales de calcul de ponts. Ceci est dû au fait que le FAD dépend, en plus de la portée et de la fréquence propre, de plusieurs autres paramètres qui sont difficiles à isoler. La vitesse, le poids et les caractéristiques dynamiques du véhicule, l'état de la structure, l'étendue des imperfections de la planéité de la chaussée, l'état des joints de dilatation, les types d'appuis, l'interaction sol-structure, l'influence des éléments secondaires, sont quelques aspects influençant le FAD. Cette étude présente une revue des recherches théoriques et expérimentales sur la dynamique des ponts et l'évaluation du FAD. 1, record 3, French, - facteur%20d%27amplification%20dynamique
