General Tools for Structural Analysis
For some types of structures, the equilibrium equations are not sufficient to determine the reactions or the internal stresses. These […]

Thermoplastics may be softened by heating and hardened by cooling any number of times. Thermosetting materials are either originally soft or
Most structural steels can undergo large deformations before rupturing. For example, yielding in ASTM A36 steel begins at a strain
A column unrestrained at one end with length L and subjected to horizontal load H and vertical load P (Fig.
If plain steel tying wires are used for reinforcement adjacent to Class F4 and F5 finishes, it poses the problem
The bearing capacity Eq. (12.6) developed by Terzaghi is for a strip footing under general shear failure. Eq. (12.6) has
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Olympia Service Center (OSC) Hydraulics Branch uses several methods of determining runoff rates
Within this very broad category we find projects that include residential, commercial, institutional and industrial buildings. Residential construction produces buildings
The future achievement of durable concrete may increasingly be based on the use of durability design models and performance-based specifications. These models
