Designing Concrete Elements for Torsion

Posted on 28 June 202028 June 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Torsion in structures is something that is best avoided as far as possible. This is because the twisting of structural elements generates large internal forces which result in a significant increase in element sizes and possibly even change in form

Posted on 8 June 20208 June 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Steel elements are often required to sustain tensile forces, these elements are referred to as tension members or tie. Example of tension members includes steel bracings in buildings, roof truss members, cables et

Designing a Laterally Unrestrained Steel Beam

Posted on 5 June 20205 June 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Laterally unrestrained steel beams are beams in which the compression flange do not have sufficient restraint and as a result susceptible to lateral-torsional buckling, a failure mechanism of steel beams due to buckling

Designing a Laterally Restrained Steel Beam

Posted on 2 June 20202 June 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Understanding the design of steel beams depend to a large extent on whether the compression flange is laterally restrained or not. This is because when a steel beam is subjected to flexure, there is a tendency for it to buckle along its length.
