Trussed Beam- Design Principles and Erection Practices
A beam which is stiffened by a system of braces constituting a truss of which the beam is a chord is called trussed beam. It consists of steel sections (or wooden beams) and struts of steel rods. Trussed beams are ...
Cold Formed/Light Guage Steel Section- Design
The manufacturing processes have been significantly developed and different shapes of sheeting profile are easy to produce. Steel sheeting is also easy to bend to different shapes e.g. curved roof structures., cylindrical products e.g. culverts etc. The products are delivered ...
Moments of Inertia of Areas
First moment Forces are distributed continuously over an area on which they act, it is often necessary to calculate the moment of theses forces about an axis Second moment The intensity of the force (pressure or stress) is proportional to ...
Design of Offshore Structures using STAAD.Pro and STAAD.Offshore
STAAD.Pro is a general purpose structural analysis and design tool that is being used to design offshore structures. STAAD.Offshore allows users create wave loading and transport loads on offshore structures. It can handle pipes, rectangular/square tubes, and open sections such ...
Fundamentals of Beam Design
The evolution of beam design, in the materials available for use and advancements in the understanding of their behaviour and physical properties, had made it possible to construct the architectural masterpieces of today. To appreciate these achievements the Engineer must ...
