EK616

Design of slip-critical bolted connection assumes that the fastener, under high initial tensioning, develops frictional resistance between the connected parts, preventing slippage despite external load.

EK613

A rule used by some designers that has proved satisfactory is to design the brace for 2% of the axial load of columns, or 2% of the total compressive stress […]

EK268

The design of a D-region includes the following steps: Define and isolate each region. Determine the resultant forces acting on each D-region boundary. Select a truss model to transfer the […]

EK263

Proportioning reinforced concrete structural members by ultimate-strength design is based on the following assumptions: Strain in concrete is the same as in reinforcing bars at the same level, provided that […]
