Introduction to Diaphragms As diaphragm is considered a structural element that can transmit lateral loads to the vertical resisting elements of a structure, i.e. columns and shear walls. The term...
Find the maximum moment of the above beam which is subjected to triangular vertical load. SOLUTION: ΣΜΒ = 0 → ΑΥ –(1/2)ql(l/3)=0 → ΑΥ = (1/6)ql ΣFY = 0 → ql/6 + BΥ –(1/2)ql=0 → BΥ = (1/3)ql Assum...
Consider a universal column 200mm x 200mm with a flange thickness of 10mm and web thickness of 7mm. The height of the column, which is fixed in concrete at its base, is 10m and the load is applied...
A simply supported beam (Figure) with a span of L=20ft is subjected to a uniform service load of 1200 lb/ft, including self weight, and a live load of 900 lb/ft. Determine the maximum factored...
For the simply supported beam of Figure 1, determine the uniformly distributed load, q, at which the flexural crack forms. The beam has a length L=7m, and f’c=25Mpa. Figure 1: Cross-section of Con...
