Cable and Tension Structures
High strength steel cables have been used extensively over the past twenty five years for space roof structures. There are two different possibilities when using steel cables in roof structures.The first possibility, consists of using the cables only for suspension ...
DEFLECTIONS IN DETERMINATE TRUSSES
DEFLECTIONS IN DETERMINATE TRUSSES Trusses comprise of members connected through pin joints. Truss members can thus transmit only axial forces (tensile and compressive forces). The basic difference in the behavior of a truss and a beam is that the truss ...
COMPOSITE STEEL JOISTS
Composite Steel Joists Composite steel construction has been recognized for a number of years as one of the most economical systems for constructing building floors. Three options have evolved over the years to meet the requirements for building height limitations ...
Tensile Structures – Types, Shapes and Advantages
A tensile structure is a structure elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending. A tensile membrane structure is most often used as a roof, as they can economically and attractively span large distances. These type of structure is commonly found in sports facilities, warehousing and storage buildings, and ...
STRUCTURAL EVALUATION PROCESS
STRUCTURAL EVALUATION PROCESS This procedure is applicable for conventionally reinforced cast-in-place concrete, precast-prestressed concrete and post-tensioned cast-in-place concrete. The evaluation of an existing concrete building is usually performed for stability, strength, safety and future expected life. Evaluation of a structure ...
