Deformations in Beams
Article 3.18 presents relationships between a distributed load on a beam, the resulting internal forces and moments, and the corresponding […]
Structural Analysis
Deflections of Statically Determinate Trusses
In Art. 3.23, the basic concepts of virtual work and specifically the unit-load method are presented. Employing these concepts, this method
Deck Plate-Girder Bridges with Floorbeams
For long spans, use of fewer but deeper girders to span the long distance between supports becomes more efficient. With appropriately
Dead Loads
Dead loads are gravity loads of constant magnitudes and fixed positions that act permanently on the structure. Such loads consist
Deck Design
For most truss members, the percentage of total stress attributable to dead load increases as span increases. Because trusses are normally
Cutting, Shearing, and Sawing
Steel shops are commonly organized into departments such as receiving, detail material, main material cut-and-preparation, assembly and shipping. Many shops also
Dead-Load Deflection
Although, in general, building codes restrict the magnitude of live-load deflections, they do not contain criteria or limitations relating to dead-load
Cylindrical Tubular Members
The AISI Specification gives separate provisions for cylindrical members, but they apply only if the ratio of outside diameter-to-wall thickness, D/
Criteria for Built-Up Tension Members
A tension member and all its components must be proportioned to meet the requirements for maximum slenderness ratio given in Table
