Under sufficiently adverse combinations of tensile stress, temperature, loading rate, geometric discontinuity (notch), and restraint, a steel member may experience a
Safe yet economical building designs necessitate application of reasonable and prudent design loads. Computation of design loads can require a complex
Since all arches are subjected to large compressive stresses and also usually carry significant bending moments, stability considerations must be addressed.
A building code is a legal ordinance enacted by public bodies, such as city councils, regional planning commissions, states, or federal
Closed-section members, such as box girders, often are used in highway bridges because of their rigidity, economy, appearance, and resistance to
Brackets are projections that carry loads. The connection of a bracket to a support has to transmit both shear and
Trusses, offering relatively large depth, open-web construction, and members subjected primarily to axial stress, provide large carrying capacity for comparatively small
Highway-bridge decks usually are constructed of reinforced concrete. Often, this concrete is made with conventional aggregate and weighs about 150 lb
