One of the major factors affecting the economy of highway bridges with a concrete deck on stringers or longitudinal girders is […]
Structural Steel
Stress-Strain Diagrams
Suppose that a homogeneous steel bar with a constant cross-sectional area A is subjected to tension under axial load P (Fig.
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
Steelmaking Methods
Structural steel is usually produced today by one of two production processes. In the traditional process, iron or hot metal is

Statics of Cables
The following summary of elementary statics of cables applies to completely flexible and inextensible cables but includes correction for elastic stretch.
Steel Cable for Structural Applications
Steel cables have been used for many years in bridge construction and are occasionally used in building construction for the
