Shear lag effect is minimal in rolled sections, which have narrow and thick flanges and more pronounced in plate girders or box sections having wide thin flanges when they are […]
EK448
The membrane theory does not hold for concentrated loads normal to the middle surface, except possibly at a peak or valley. The theory does not apply where boundary conditions are […]
EK436
Where the concentrated loads are very large, walls may need to be reinforced with pilasters. Pilasters are essentially columns and carry the large concentrated loads directly to the footing. The […]
EK378
Bearing stiffeners are provided to prevent local crushing of the web due to concentrated loads or reactions applied through the flange.
EK375
Load-carrying stiffeners are provided to prevent local buckling of the web due to concentrated loads or reactions applied through the flange. The stiffeners should be positioned wherever such action occur, […]
EK215
The discrepancies produced by shear lag are minimal in rolled sections, which have relatively narrow and thick flanges. However in plate girders, or box sections, having wide thin flanges the […]
EK184
Bond and anchorage failure usually occurs when the slab is subjected to heavy concentrated loads near the support or when heavy loads are applied over a rather short span. The […]
EK127
The possible locations for plastic hinges to develop are at the points of concentrated loads, at the intersections of members involving a change in geometry and at the point of […]
