Stress-Strain Relationships
Structural steels display linearly elastic properties when the load does not exceed a certain limit. Steels also are isotropic; i.e., the […]

Structural steel is usually produced today by one of two production processes. In the traditional process, iron or hot metal is
The following summary of elementary statics of cables applies to completely flexible and inextensible cables but includes correction for elastic stretch.
Steel cables have been used for many years in bridge construction and are occasionally used in building construction for the
