Horizontal navigation clearances have increased in recent years to accommodate the increasing size and volume of marine traffic. The intense competition
Equations (3.46) for stresses at a point O can be represented conveniently by Mohrs circle (Fig. 3.16). Normal stress Æ’
The most commonly used moment connection is the field welded connection shown in Fig. 5.56. This connection has been in common
The moment-distribution method is one of several displacement methods for analyzing continuous beams and rigid frames. Moment distribution, however, provides
A force acting on a body may have a tendency to rotate it. The measure of this tendency is the
