Fatigue Loading

Fatigue damage may occur to members supporting machinery, cranes, vehicles, and other mobile equipment. Such damage is not likely in members […]

Pitch is the distance (in) along the line of principal stress between centers of adjacent fasteners. It may be measured

Repetitive loading from locomotives and rolling stock can cause fatigue cracks to develop and grow in steel bridges. To guard against

The forces and couples to which a structure may be subjected can be classified into two types, external forces and

Thanks to the cooperation of several engineers in private and public practice, detailed information on about 25 arch bridges has been

Early cable-suspended bridges were footbridges consisting of cables formed from twisted vines or hide drawn tightly to reduce sag. The cable

A 5.5 in deep by 1.25 in wide by 0.057 in thick C-section without lips is shown in Fig. 10.11a.

For the unstiffened C-section in Art. 10.22, determine the moment strength based on initiation of yielding for a fully braced

A structure is considered to be in equilibrium if, initially at rest, it remains at rest when subjected to a
