Static Analysis of Suspension Bridges: A solved Example

Cables are made from high-strength steel wires that are twisted together.  They offer a flexible structural system, which can resist loads only by axial...

Plastic Collapse Analysis of Propped Cantilever Beams

We all know that for a propped cantilever beam, there are two possible locations of plastic hinges – which are at the span (point...

Design of Doubly Reinforced Beams | Worked Example

Doubly reinforced beams are reinforced concrete beams that incorporate both compression steel (in the compression zone) and tension steel (in the tension zone). This...

Comparison of Shear Design to EC2 and BS 8110

Eurocode 2 uses the variable strut inclination method for shear design. It is slightly more complex than the procedure in BS 8110 but can...

Free MATLAB Code for Flexural Design of R.C. Sections According to EC2

In this post, I am going to present an extremely simplified MATLAB code for carrying out flexural design of reinforced concrete beams (rectangular or...

Two Approaches to the Calculation of Deflection in Eurocode 2

The verification of deflection is an important serviceability check in reinforced concrete design. Most designs codes adopt the 'deemed to satisfy' rules which limit...

Shear Deformation of Beams Using Virtual Work Method

The predominant cause of deformation in beams subjected to externally applied load is bending, and that is one of the most popular analytical methods...

Elastic Settlement of Shallow Foundations

Shallow foundations on natural soils will undergo settlement when loaded. Foundation settlement is mainly made up of elastic (or immediate) settlement, Se, consolidation settlement,...

Analysis of Three-Hinged Arch Structures

Arches are important structural elements in engineering that provide economical solutions in buildings and bridges. Three-hinged arch structures are pinned at the supports (springings)...

Deflection of Statically Indeterminate Frames

The deflection of statically indeterminate frames can occur under the action of externally applied loads, temperature difference, or differential settlement of support. These deformations...
