Tension Members
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
Steels for structural uses may be classified by chemical composition, tensile properties, and method of manufacture as carbon steels, high-strength
When the reactions have been determined for an arch (Arts. 4.1 to 4.3), the principal forces acting on any cross
