If we consider ourselves attending a design class in the undergraduate degree program, once the design philosophies are over, the first design lecture would be on “Design of Tension Members”. Have you ever wondered, why we are learning this thing…
What happens to a member, when it is subjected to transverse loading? A member subjected to transverse loading will undergo bending and start to deflect along the plane in which it is loaded. It seems so simple, right?  Now,…
What happens to a building when it is subjected to wind loads? Any building or structures, in general, must ensure stability in two directions (Lateral & Longitudinal) to safely transfer loads from the location of application to the ground. Considering…
P-Delta Analysis is a Non-linear second-order analysis which exhibits a considerable increase in the base moment when a structure is subjected to large lateral displacement due to wind or seismic forces. Before moving further, there are two terms that need…
Our previous post is about structural steel connections, emphasizing its importance and complexity. This post is sort of continuation of the previous post, which is going to emphasize on the additional tension force that is developed in the bolted connections…
What are the structural elements does a steel structure holds? As similar to every other building, the major load-carrying members in a steel structure are columns and beams. Let us consider an industrial steel building to analyze its structural components.…
