One of several displacement methods for analyzing statically indeterminate structures that resist loads by bending involves use of slope-deflection equations.
To reduce scour and to avoid impeding stream flow, it is generally desirable to orient piers with centerlines parallel to direction
When the principal operations on a main member, such as punching, drilling, and cutting, are completed, and when the detail pieces
In buildings, splices of members subjected principally to shear should develop the strength required by the stresses at point of
Bidding a structural fabrication project demands review of project requirements and assembly of costs. A take-off is made listing each piece
In addition to normal stresses (Art. 3.16), beams are subjected to shearing. Shear stresses vary over the cross section of
The relationship between shear and moment identified in Eq. (3.72), that is, V = dM/dx, indicates that the shear force

Shear deformations in a beam add to the deflections due to bending discussed in Art. 3.18. Deflections due to shear
For beams and plate girders, the web area for shear calculations Aw (in2) is the product of the overall depth, d
