EK140
Very flexible structures with long natural periods of vibration respond in an equivalent static manner to the high frequencies of earthquake movements, and so can be designed as if loaded […]
EK106
When flexible structures are subjected to lateral forces, the resulting horizontal displacements lead to additional overturning moments because the gravity load is also displaced. Therefore, in addition to the overturning […]
EK87
Since slabs are often rather flexible structures, the changes in geometry sometimes have a considerable effect on the load-carrying capacity. These effects are called membrane effects and one speaks about […]
