In structural engineering, a shear wall is a vertical element of a system that is designed to resist in-plane lateral forces, typically wind and seismic ...

Punching shear is a type of failure of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to high localized forces. In flat slab structures this occurs at column support ...

Post-Tensioned Designer is a computer program for the design and analysis of linear post-tensioned concrete floor systems. The program is developed around the ...

Torsion on structural elements may be classified into two types; statically determinate, and statically indeterminate. ... Shear stresses due to torsion ...

Mechanical Equipment Anchorage to Wood Roof, most often made of cedar, pressure-treated pine, redwood, or cypress, come in two main types: shingles and ...

Lightweight concrete is a mixture made with lightweight coarse aggregates such as shale, clay, or slate, which give it its characteristic low density. ... It ...

The shear friction concept assumed that such a crack is formed when concrete will be cast at different times and that reinforcement is provided across the ...

A lap splice is the most common method of creating a single structural entity from two rebar segments. The lap splice, as the name suggests, is created by ...

Coupling beams are beams typically added to a structure to improve its lateral force resistance. They bridge two separate, independent items together (like ...

A corbel is a short cantilever projecting out from a column, a wall, or the side of a beam. A corbel is designed to support another member, usually a beam or ...
