Stress and Strain

Structural capacity, or ultimate strength, is that property of a structural member that serves as a measure of is ability to support all potential loads without severe cracking or excessive deformations. …

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 elastic properties are the same in all directions. The material …
