Analysis of Moment Resisting Frame and Lateral Load Distribution
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 ...
Limit State, Working Stress and Ultimate Load Method of Structural Design
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 ...
What is Substructure and Superstructure in Building Construction?
Reinforcement shall be cut and placed as per the structural drawings and approved bar bending Schedules. Specified cover blocks should be provided at regular spacing and intervals. Cover blocks should be tied with reinforcement by using binding wires for preventing ...
Guidelines for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures
An earthquake is the vibration of the Earth’s surface caused by waves emanating from a disturbance in the Earth’s crust, resulting in the release of energy. It manifests as a sudden and transient motion or series of motions of the ...
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 ...
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. ...
Structural Analysis Simplified: Understanding Load Paths and Forces
Structural analysis has long been difficult for architects and engineers to grasp. It involves complex calculations, the use of specialized software, and an understanding of loads, forces, and how they interact with the structural components. In recent years, structural analysis ...
