Unsymmetrical Bending

When the plane of loads acting transversely on a beam does not contain any of the beams axes of symmetry, the […]

The main types of welds used for structural steel are fillet, groove, plug, and slot. The most commonly used weld

Structural members are usually classified according to the principal stresses induced by loads that the members are intended to support. Axial-force

Figure 13.3 shows some of the common trusses used for bridges. Pratt trusses have diagonals sloping downward toward the center and

Loads are forces that act or may act on a structure. For the purpose of predicting the resulting behavior of

In the most natural type of arch, the horizontal component of each reaction, or thrust, is carried into a buttress, which

Structural tubing is being used more frequently in modern construction (Art. 6.30). It is often preferred to other steel members

A two-hinged arch has hinges only at the supports (Fig. 4.2a). Such an arch is statically indeterminate. Determination of the

End bearings transmit the reactions from trusses to substructure elements, such as abutments or piers. Unless trusses are supported on
