A special fabrication technique is applied to wide-flange shapes to produce castellated beams. This technique consists of cutting the web
Secondary connections may be made with unfinished bolts conforming to the Specifications for Low-carbon Steel ASTM A307 is an often-used specification.
Use of cast-in-place concrete for floor decks in steel-framed construction is a traditional approach that was much more prevalent prior to
High-strength steel cables are very efficient for long-span roof construction. They resist loads solely by axial tension. While the cables are
For statically determinate systems, reactions can be determined from equilibrium equations [Eq. (3.11) or (3.12)]. For example, in the planar

Because of flexibility and susceptibility to vibration under dynamic loads, pure suspension bridges are rarely constructed for railway spans. They are
The concept of bridging long spans with cables, flexible tension members, antecedes recorded history (Art. 15.1). Known ancient uses of metal
Camber is a curvature built into a member or structure so that when it is loaded, it deflects to a desired
The static behavior of a cable-stayed girder can best be gaged from the simple, two-span example of Fig. 15.54. The girder
