Typical Joint Detailing of Steel Hollow Sections -Types of Joints
Typical Joint Detailing of Steel Hollow Sections Detailing of joints in steel structure is as much important as detailing of main structural members. Ultimately loads from structures are transferred to different structural members through joints. So, a good detailing of ...
FOUNDATIONS & ANCHORAGE FOR PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING
Foundation design and construction for Pre-Engineered Buildings are important to the assembly process. To ensure optimum integrity of new building, the foundation must meet certain design criteria and load conditions. It is required that all building foundations be designed by ...
Different Types of Machine Foundations and their Uses
Machine foundations are special types of foundations required for machines, machine tools and heavy equipments which have wide range of speeds, loads and operating conditions. These foundations are designed considering the shocks and vibrations (dynamic forces) resulting from operation of ...
SMART STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS
A structure which can adapt to the changing environmental conditions is called SMART. This smartness can be achieved by using smart materials like Shape-memory alloys (SMA), piezoelectric crystal, magneto-rheological fluids etc. Smart structures can take care of their own health ...
Approximate Lateral Load Analysis by Portal Method
The portal method is an approximate analysis used for analyzing building frames subjected to lateral loading such as the one shown in Fig.1. This method is more appropriate for low rise buildings with uniform framing. Portal Method of Analysis Assumptions ...
What is Shear Wall? – Its Types and Location in Buildings
What is a Shear Wall? Shear wall is a structural member in a reinforced concrete framed structure to resist lateral forces such as wind forces. Shear walls are generally used in high-rise buildings subject to lateral wind and seismic forces. In ...
