Lateral Load Distribution of Frame Building In a two-dimensional moment-resisting frame, each joint typically has a maximum of three degrees of freedom: displacement in horizontal and vertical directions, and rotation. The total number of degrees of freedom is calculated as ...

Types of Structural Design and its Processes
The entire process of structural planning and design necessitates not only creativity and conceptualization but also a comprehensive understanding of practical aspects, including recent design codes and regulations, bolstered by extensive experience, expertise, and discernment. It is crucial that any ...
Influence Line Analysis Method – Tabulated Technique
Influence line represents the variation of either the reaction, shear, moment, or deflection at a specific point in a member, as a concentrated force moves over the member. Influence lines are important for the design of a structure that resists ...
Analysis Methods for Buildings 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 ...
What is Shear Center – Location of Shear Center with Examples
Shear center is a point on the beam-section where the application of loads does not cause its twisting. The shear center position is dependent on the cross-section of the beam. For instance, shear center and center of gravity are the ...
What is Tributary Area in Columns?
Tributary area is the area surrounding the column that is bounded by a panel centerline. In order to calculate the forces and static loads transferred from floor slabs to the columns tributary area method is used. Commonly, designers use tributary ...
Assumptions in Strength Calculation of Building Materials with Explanations
Strength, resistance against failure is the important property of any civil engineering material. Every material is to be tested for its strength before going to use it. There are various external forces which acts on materials in different ways. To ...
Stress in Structural Materials, Their Types and Sign Conventions
Stress is resistance provided by structural material against deformation. Stress is measured in terms of load per unit area and is expressed in MPa or N/mm2. Types of stresses and their sign convetions for calculations are discussed.
