In determining stresses in masonry, effects of loads should be computed on actual dimensions, not nominal. Except for engineered masonry, the
At service loads and up to cracking loads, straight-line theory may be used for computing stresses in prestressed beams with the
A true membrane is able to withstand tension but is completely unable to resist bending. Although it is highly efficient structurally,
10.1 Introduction The term adjustment suggests that some form of cheating might take place during the process of converting surveying
Traditionally, enhanced durability of concrete is associated with reducing the water/cement ratio. This has some benefit in the case of
Developing proficiency in the proper design and specification of fire sprinkler systems is extremely tedious. While sprinkler system design is admittedly
