In the past, some countries have boycotted the games for various reasons. In the 1976 Montreal games, a number of African countries did not participate in protest over a New Zealand rugby team being allowed to tour South Africa.Then in 1980, The US and more than 60 other countries did not participate in the Summer Olympics in Moscow in protest of that country's invasion of Afghanistan.In 1984, in a clear act of retaliation, the Soviet Union and most Eastern Bloc countries boycotted the games in Los Angeles.n the past, some countries have boycotted the games for various reasons.

Since the yield strength of the steel is quite clearly defined and controlled, this establishes a very precise reference in structural investigations. An early design decision is that for the yield strength (specified by the Grade of steel used) that is to be used in the design work.Several different grades of steel may be used for large projects, with a minimum grade for ordinary tasks and higher grades for more demanding ones.ost steel used for reinforcement is highly ductile in nature. Its usable strength is its yield strength, as this stress condition initiates such a magnitude of deformation (into the plastic yielding range of the steel), that major cracking will occur in the concrete.
