Three-Hinged Arches

An arch is a beam curved in the plane of the loads to a radius that is very large relative […]

For long or heavily loaded bridge spans, restrictions on depth of structural system imposed by vertical clearances under a bridge generally

The nominal tensile strength, Tn, of an axial loaded tension member is the smallest of three limit states: (1) yielding

Design rules for tension splices are substantially the same as those for hanger connections. In buildings, splices should develop the

The tensile properties of steel are generally determined from tension tests on small specimens or coupons in accordance with standard

Cables are one of the main components to inhibit the extension of suspension bridge spans. As spans become progressively longer

Structural analysis of a suspension bridge is that step in the design process whereby, for given structural geometry, materials, and sizes,

The primary advantage of the stub-girder system is that it provides ample space for routing mechanical ductwork throughout a floor

Since seismic loading is an inertial loading, the forces are dependent on the dynamic characteristics of the acceleration record and the
