Table of Contents #Understanding the Concept of Block Shear Failure Block shear failure occurs when part of a material shears away due to a combination of tension and shear forces in a steel connection. Typically, this happens along a path…
Beams are an essential part of any structure. They carry loads and transfer forces to other parts of the building, ensuring stability and strength. But not all beams are the same. Some are laterally supported, while others are unsupported. Understanding…
During the initial stage of one’s career, every design engineer, especially a steel design engineer would have come across this statement “Bending force is carried by the flange of an I-Section, and shear force is taken care of by the…
In the structural analysis classroom of our engineering degree, we are taught how to determine the internal forces (Axial force, Bending Moment & Shear forces) for a structure based on the applied load by several analysis methods. If we take…
When it comes to structural behaviour, the technical terms might sound a bit complicated, but actual behaviour is NOT. I am moving forward with the assumption that you know the basic concept of bending. “Biaxial bending of a member is nothing but…
