Factors Affecting Deflections of Reinforced Concrete Beams and Slabs
There are various factors which affect deflections of reinforced concrete beams and slabs which needs to be considered and assessed adequately during design and construction.
Vibration Analysis of Machine Foundations
Machine Foundation is subjected to dynamic loads. These loads develop the vibratory motions which will transmit into the soil below the foundation. The effect on soil caused by these vibrations is analyzed using principles of soil dynamics and theory of ...
Loads and Forces Acting on Retaining Wall and Their Calculations [PDF]
Various types of loads and forces act on a retaining wall, and their calculation is essential for its design. These forces on the retaining wall depends on multiple factors which are discussed. Loads and Forces Acting on Retaining Wall There ...
Qualitative Structural Analysis of Beams and Frames
Qualitative structural analysis might not be familiar to structural engineers. The usual way of analysis of structures is numerical (quantitative) method in which the structural designers should determine values for dimensions and loads and compute bending moments and reactions. However, ...
Types of Loads on Structures – Buildings and Other Structures
The types of loads acting on structures for buildings and other structures can be broadly classified as vertical loads, horizontal loads and longitudinal loads.
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 ...
Strength Evaluation of Concrete Structures with Physical Load Test
Physical load test is required to determine the serviceability of the structure. Load arrangements, load intensity, loading criteria, instrumentation are explained.
