The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

IN the analysis of beams and girders it is possible by the method of influence lines to simplify the process of determination of the stresses due to the passage of a system of rolling loads. In such ...

A ground beam is a reinforced concrete beam for supporting walls at ground level. Its purpose is to link the piles together and provide a platform for further superstructure construction. A beam is a ...
