Compression parallel to the grain deforms wood cells along their axis and failure occurs when cell walls start to suffer from instability. When the loads are applied perpendicular to grain, […]

In loose sand, the group efficiency in compression exceeds unity, with the highest values occurring at a pile center to center spacing to diameter or width ratio of 2.
EK443
If the reloading is reversed in compression, the compressive yield strength is decreased, which is called the Bauschinger effect.
EK383
Relative deformation capacities of the elements in the load path: Plates in bending. Relatively large elastic deformation. Large deformation capacity when plastic hinges form. Plates in tension and plates in […]
EK380
In the beam-column connection the applied moment is transmitted by compression in the lower part of the beam and by the bolts in tension in the upper part. The compression […]
EK260
Creep develops not only in compression, but also in tension, bending, and torsion. The ratio of the rate of creep in tension to that in compression will be greater than […]
EK207
When a simply supported steel “I” beam bends under downward loads the extreme fibres at the top of the beam are in compression. This puts the top flange of the […]
EK98
The action of a reinforced concrete beam in shear is represented by analogous truss in which the longitudinal reinforcement forms the bottom chord, the stirrups are the vertical members and […]
EK93
Assumptions of the Bernoulli-Euler theory of bending: The beam is bent by pure terminal couples so that shear and axial forces are not present. The deformations are small, so that […]
EK85
The steel sheeting can also be utilized as a structural element itself. Correct detailing of connections between individual cladding sheets (and their connections to the support steelwork) will induce a […]
EK83
At the fully plastic moment both tension and compression faces are fully stressed at the yield stress.
EK70
For some materials such as concrete in a simple compression test, there is a region beyond the failure or peak point in which the slope of the stress-strain curve is […]
EK18
Compression elements are limited not only by the yield stress but also by their tendency to buckle elastically.
