Camber
Camber is a curvature built into a member or structure so that when it is loaded, it deflects to a desired […]

Cable-Stayed Bridge Analysis
The static behavior of a cable-stayed girder can best be gaged from the simple, two-span example of Fig. 15.54. The girder
Cable Structures
High-strength steel cables are very efficient for long-span roof construction. They resist loads solely by axial tension. While the cables are
Calculation of Reactions in Statically Determinate Systems
For statically determinate systems, reactions can be determined from equilibrium equations [Eq. (3.11) or (3.12)]. For example, in the planar

Cable-Suspended Bridges for Rail Loading
Because of flexibility and susceptibility to vibration under dynamic loads, pure suspension bridges are rarely constructed for railway spans. They are
Cable Construction
Cables, more commonly referred to as wire rope, are sometimes used in buildings to support long-span roofs, to suspend floorbeams from
Cable Saddles, Anchorages and Connections
Saddles atop towers of suspension bridges may be large steel castings in one piece (Fig. 15.35) or, to reduce weight, partly
Built-Up Sections
These are members made up by a fabricator from two or more standard sections. Examples of common built-up sections are shown
Built-Up Compression Members
Design of built-up compression members should comply with the basic requirement for prevention of local and overall buckling of compression members
