Design of Steel Tanks
Design of Steel Tanks Steel tanks are defined as vessels made of steel plates, utilized for storing various liquids such as water, petroleum, diesel, and kerosene oil. These tanks may be either placed on the ground or elevated on towers. ...
Euler’s Theory of Column Buckling
Euler’s theory of column buckling is used to estimate the critical buckling load of column since the stress in the column remains elastic. The critical buckling load is the maximum load that a column can withstand when it is on ...
7 Common Design Faults Causing Damage to Concrete
There are number of common design faults that lead to the damage of concrete and hence the capacity of the structural member would be reduced. In adequate structural design, inadequate cover, improper joint detailing, incorrect placement of embedments in concrete, ...
What are the Bases of Plastic Analysis of Beams and Portal Frames?
Plastic analysis is the method through which the actual failure load of a structure is calculated. This failure load can be significantly greater than the elastic load capacity. In plastic analysis and design of a structure, the ultimate load of ...
What are the Effects of Earthquake on Structures?
Earthquake is the most dangerous natural phenomenon that generates sizable destruction in structures. It is reported that two sources of mistakes which would seriously endanger structures are ignoring the ways an earthquake affects buildings and shoddy construction practices. That is ...
Foundation Construction [PDF]: Depth, Width, Layout, and Excavation
Procedure for construction of foundation starts with a decision on its depth, width, and marking layout for excavation and centerline of foundation. Foundation is the part of the structure below the plinth level in direct contact of soil and transmits ...
