A practical method for curtailment is as follows:Determine where the bar can be curtailed based on bending moment alone; and anchor this bar beyond this location for a distance lbd+a1, […]
EK702
Sometimes it becomes necessary in a model to combine different kinds of elements, such as beams and plane elements. The problem with combining these elements is that they have different […]

For framing systems which consists of isolated beams or a network of beams it is sufficient to carry out simple, first-order elastic analysis as long as the axial compressive forces […]
EK294
Web shear cracks occur in beams with thin webs in regions with high shear and low moment. They are relatively uncommon cracks and may occur near the inflection points of […]
EK139
In rectangular frames with simple flexible joints the moment transfers between beams and columns may be ignored.
EK107
The total lateral deflection of a rigid frame may be considered a combination of the following: Cantilever deflection due to axial deformation of columns (15% – 20%). Frame shear racking […]

In the elementary theory of bending, stresses and deflections in beams are directly proportional to the applied loads. This condition requires that the change in shape of the beam due […]
