Structural analysis deals with understanding the behaviour of structural members when subjected to loads. Structural design completely depends on the output of structural analysis and having a strong foundation in analysis helps engineers to provide economic designs.
Static determinate structures are those structures in which we compute axial forces by the application of static equilibrium alone. For plane frame, three such equations are: For a statically determinate: Plane frame, m = 2j …
A structure means a system of connected parts used to support a load. An elastic body is called a structure when a set of loads are applied the elastic body deforms and also the system …
It is the number of independent components of joint displacements with respect to a specified set of axes. Kinematic indeterminacy also refered as degrees of freedom for a structure, is the number of unrestrained component …
A structure means a system of connected parts used to support a load. An elastic body is called a structure when a set of loads are applied the elastic body deforms and also the system …
Definition of stress Before defining stress at a point we must set the stage for the definition. Consider we have a deformable body, and this body bis in static equilibrium condition as shown in Fig …
Introduction Stresses in beam is very important topic. Every engineering graduates need to understand this phenomenon. Before understanding this we need to discuss few simple concepts. You might have gone through this doubt while studying …
Solid A material is called solid if in addition to normal force it can also support substantial shear force in a static condition. On the other hand, fluids cannot support shear force and have continuous …
Mechanics is the science of forces and motions. The origins of mechanics could be traced back to 4th century BC when Aristotle founds the system of Aristotelian physics, but it was not until 1687 when …
I would like to discuss about Force, Work and Energy form the point of view of a structural engineer. These are the fundamental quantities and proper understanding of these terms is necessary for a structural …
Beam and Column In structural engineering we give names to different structural members based on their behavior under applied load. For example: Say you have a rod of length 3 m made out of steel …
