Stiffener plates are used to increase stiffness and resistance against buckling. In this blog article we will discuss about stiffener plate in detail. What Is Stiffener Plate? Stiffener plate is a structural component used to reinforce and strengthen plate girders, making them more rigid. They are typically plates that are welded to the web of … Read more
What Is Gusset Plate? A gusset plate is a thick sheet of steel commonly used to join structural steel components like beams, chords, or columns. It is positioned at the intersection of two or more adjacent members and can be fastened using mechanical bolts or permanent welding to provide strength and support to each joint. … Read more
What Are Built Up Steel Sections? Built up steel sections are made by joining two or more steel sections together. Steel sections manufactured to specific project requirements are used to achieve the desired strength. Various steel sections such as I section, H section, channel section and other steel sections are used to make built up … Read more
Introduction Today we are going to learn about a very important structural engineering topic “Concrete Cone Failure”. This phenomenon is also called concrete cone breakout. This type of failure usually occurs in RCC structures. Structural elements such as anchor bolts, threaded rods, and other types of fasteners experience this type of failure. When the applied … Read more
Introduction: When it comes to construction and engineering projects, fasteners play a vital role in ensuring the structural integrity and safety of various structures. Two commonly used fasteners are anchor bolts and threaded rods. Although both are designed to secure objects to concrete or other materials, they serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics. In … Read more
Definition Punching shear is a severe failure mechanism that occurs in structural members, such as slabs and foundations, when subjected to concentrated loads. Description This type of failure arises from the shear forces acting on a smaller area within the structural elements, typically due to the reaction from a column acting against a slab. As … Read more
What Are Tensile Structures? Tensile structures are special buildings that use tightness to stay strong and steady. They are made with light materials like fabrics or thin layers, which are stretched over a frame to hold them in place. The tight fabric or layer can resist strong forces like wind or gravity and pass those … Read more
In structural analysis, designers and engineers examine buildings and other structures to ensure their safety, efficiency, and durability. This involves modeling the structure using computer-aided design software and performing calculations to determine the loads the structure will be subjected to. Engineers consider factors such as the strength of materials and stress concentrations, using computer simulations … Read more
Moment Frame is a type of structure made up of interconnected members that are joined together in a two-dimensional series. Their main purpose is to resist sideways forces caused by things like wind and earthquakes. Moment Frames are really good at this job and are often used in places where earthquakes are common. Although designing … Read more
