FATIGUE STRENGTH OF RIVETED AND CORRODED STRUCTURES
The fatigue strength of riveted members is relatively insensitive to the rivet pattern or type of detail (cover plate details, longitudinal splice plates, and angles or shear-splice details). A major advantage of riveted (or bolted) members is that they are ...
Maintenance of Steel Structures and its Components for Durability
Structural Considerations for Maintenance of Steel Structures Structural engineers should be consulted to ensure that the repair method will restore the steel structures to the desired strength and that the most effective method of repair has been chosen. Load-carrying members ...
SLABJACKING
The purpose of slab jacking is to raise a slab in place permanently, prevent impact loading, correct faulty drainage, and prevent pumping at transverse joints by injection of a grout under the slab. The grout fills voids under the slab, ...
