Criteria for Built-Up Compression Members
Compression members should be designed so that main components are connected directly to gusset plates, pins, or other members. Stresses
Crane-Runway Loads
Design of structures to support cranes involves a number of important considerations, such as determination of maximum wheel loads, allowance
Criteria for Composite Construction
In composite construction, a steel beam and a concrete slab act together to resist bending. The slab, in effect, serves
Cost-Effective Plate-Girder Designs
To get cost-effective results from the many different designs of fabricated girders that can satisfy the requirements of specifications, designers should
Corrosion Protection of Cables
In the past, the method of protecting the main cables of suspension bridges against corrosion was by coating the steel with
Continuous-Beam Bridges
Articles 12.1 and 12.3 recommended use of continuity for multispan bridges. Advantages over simply supported spans include less weight, greater stiffness,
Contemporary Methods of Inelastic Analysis
Just as the conventional matrix stiffness method of analysis (Art. 3.39) may be modified to directly include the influences of second-order
Continuous Trusses
Many river crossings do not require more than one truss span to meet navigational requirements. Nevertheless, continuous trusses have made possible
