Billboards are large outdoor advertising structures that are found along highways and city centres. Due to their large size and flexibility for creative output,...
P-delta is a geometric non-linear effect that occurs in structures that are subjected to compressive loads and lateral displacement. Under the action of compressive...
Second-order effects involve the analysis of a structure based on the deformed geometry. In other words, second-order analysis recognizes the deflection in a structure...
Tall masts are used in a variety of applications such as telecommunication, radio/television broadcasting, supporting lighting fixtures on the highway, raising flags, etc....
Telecommunication masts or towers are tall structures that are designed for transmission of telecommunication signals or for radio/television broadcasting. Telecom masts are usually made...
Structural stability is broadly defined as the capacity of a structure to recover equilibrium. As a topic in structural engineering, it is concerned with...
Recent researches have shown that human beings interact with structural systems undergoing vibration. Initially it was thought that human body is an inert mass...
Non-linear analysis can be used when all of the members, elements and support springs are linear except for cables and/or preloaded truss members. This...
