Stringer or Girder Spacing
One of the major factors affecting the economy of highway bridges with a concrete deck on stringers or longitudinal girders is […]
Stresses at a Point
Tensile and compressive stresses are sometimes referred to also as normal stresses, because they act normal to the cross section. Under
Structural Design of Preengineered Buildings
The buildings are designed for loading criteria in such a way that they may be specified to meet the geographical requirements
Structural Behavior of Flat Compression Elements
In buckling of flat, thin compression elements in beams and columns, the flat-width ratio w/ t is an important factor. It

Stresses in Arches
An arch is a curved beam, the radius of curvature of which is very large relative to the depth of the
Structural Clay Tile
Structural clay tiles are hollow burned-clay masonry units with parallel cells. Such units have multitude of uses: as a facing tile
Structural Aluminum
Structural aluminum shapes are produced by extrusion. Angles, I beams, and channels are available in standard sizes and in lengths up
Stresses in Arch Ribs
When the reactions have been determined for an arch (Arts. 4.1 to 4.3), the principal forces acting on any cross
Stress-Strain Relationships
Structural steels display linearly elastic properties when the load does not exceed a certain limit. Steels also are isotropic; i.e., the
