INDETERMINATE ARCHES
Written on 19 Mar, 2010 at 12:20 in Arches, Miscellaneous, Structural, Structural Analysis | viewed 470 views times and users have made 1 comment so far
An arch may be defined as a plane-curved bar or rib supported and loaded in a way that makes it act in direct compression. For example, the structure in Fig. 1a is a parabolic symmetrical arch that is loaded with... (Continue reading)
ANALYSIS OF MOMENT RESISTING FRAME & LATERAL LOAD DISTRIBUTION
Written on 18 Mar, 2010 at 8:32 in Frames, Miscellaneous, Portal Frame, Structural, Structural Analysis | viewed 1,385 views times and users have made 0 comments so far
Frames: Portal frames are frequently used over the entrance of a bridge and as a main stiffness element in building design in order to transfer horizontal forces applied at the top of the frame to the foundation. On bridges, these... (Continue reading)
METHODS OF ANALYSIS OF FRAMES

Elastic analysis deals with the study of strength and behavior of the members and structure at working loads. Frames can be analyzed by various methods. However, the method of analysis adopted depends upon the types of frame, its configuration (portal... (Continue reading)
TYPES OF LOADS ON STRUCTURE
Written on 17 Mar, 2010 at 10:32 in Design, Loads, Structural, Structural Analysis | viewed 810 views times and users have made 2 comments so far
The loads are broadly classified as vertical loads, horizontal loads and longitudinal loads. The vertical loads consist of dead load, live load and impact load. The horizontal loads comprises of wind load and earthquake load. The longitudinal loads i.e. tractive... (Continue reading)
STRUCTURAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHIES
Written on 16 Mar, 2010 at 14:04 in Beam Design, Design, Methods, Steel Design, Structural | viewed 317 views times and users have made 1 comment so far
This was the traditional method of design not only for reinforced concrete, but also for structural steel and timber design. The method basically assumes that the structural material behaves as a linear elastic manner, and that adequate safety can be... (Continue reading)
STRUCTURAL DESIGN PROCESS

The entire process of structural planning and design requires not only imagination and conceptual thinking but also sound knowledge of practical aspects, such as recent design codes and bye-laws, backed up by ample experience, institution and judgment. It is emphasized... (Continue reading)
MOMENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD OF ANALYSIS
Written on 25 Feb, 2010 at 22:01 in Methods, Structural Analysis | viewed 591 views times and users have made 0 comments so far
In the moment distribution method, every joint of the structure to be analysed is fixed so as to develop the fixed-end moments. Then each fixed joint is sequentially released and the fixed-end moments (which by the time of release are... (Continue reading)
Trusses & Its Analysis

First moment Forces are distributed continuously over an area on which they act, it is often necessary to calculate the moment of theses forces about an axis Second moment The intensity of the force (pressure or stress) is proportional to... (Continue reading)
Statics of Bending: Shear and Bending Moment Diagrams
Written on 15 Apr, 2009 at 16:36 in Structural Analysis | viewed 41 views times and users have made 0 comments so far
Beams are long and slender structural elements, differing from truss elements in that they are called on to support transverse as well as axial loads. Their attachment points can also be more complicated than those of truss elements: they may... (Continue reading)

Steel Concrete Composite Columns- Analysis and Design
Written on 13 Apr, 2009 at 17:43 in Design, Structural, Structural Analysis | viewed 203 views times and users have made 0 comments so far
A steel-concrete composite column is a compression member, comprising either a concrete encased hot-rolled steel section or a concrete filled tubular section of hot-rolled steel and is generally used as a load-bearing member in a composite framed structure. Typical cross-sections... (Continue reading)
Stiffness Method of Structural Analysis
