Bending forces, as with axial forces, induce direct There are two types of stress that can be induced in a stresses within an element. The extreme fibers of an element under longitudinal axis. Shear stresses are developed when bending experience the highest tension and an element is subjected to an applied force compression stresses simultaneously.
In between the perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. This point is known as the neutral Axial loads act parallel to the length of a member and axis. This is a sectional property explained in section of load. Solid circular sections and where hmax and hmin represent the breadth and width hollow sections have a closed circular route that of the rectangular cross-section.
The torsional stress is same for a given material. Hence a cube of concrete or metal tensile and compressive strength of mild steel is will support the same compressive load regardless of identical. Concrete, however, has a high compressive which face of the cube the load is applied to.
The capacity but negligible tensile strength in all axes, same is true for tensile and shear loads. Timber and primarily owing to the microscopic cracks that carbon fiber are orthotropic materials, meaning that develop in it during curing.
Bending moments their material properties vary in different axes. For develop simultaneous compressive and tensile example, a cube of timber will compress more easily stresses in a structural member, and hence a concrete when the load is applied perpendicularly to the grain element would fail under very small loads due to its than if it is applied parallel to it.
In addition, the shear poor tensile capacity. To counter this, concrete is stress capacity of timber parallel to the direction of its reinforced with longitudinal steel reinforcing bars in grain is significantly less than the shear strength areas that are subject to tensile forces. Because of this the complementary shear stresses described previously are often the critical shear design criteria of a timber beam under vertical load as opposed to the main shear stresses, which act in the direction of the applied load.
Hence, when designing in orthotropic materials the orientation of the material laminations has to be considered at the design stage. Reinforced concrete beam section b Strain in concrete Zone of cross-section 0. This deformation will be by the plastic range indicated on the graph opposite. Strain is a As load, and therefore stress, is increased measurement of the ratio of the extent of deformation incrementally the material will eventually reach its under load against the original dimension of a sample ultimate stress capacity, at which point it will break.
There are several different types of strain including linear, volumetric, and shear. Linear strain is Both mild steel grade A and aluminum T6 the ratio of the elongation under axial load against the have very similar stress capacities of around 40 kips original length. This example is based on a mild steel The extent of deformation that a material is able to sample. The straight line area indicates the linearly undergo before failure occurs determines whether it elastic region.
The ratio of stress divided by strain in this These include concrete, timber, glass, and ceramics. For tensile forces that induce tensile warning. Other elastic moduli include the significant degree of deformation prior to failure. As the load applied to a sample of material is increased it will eventually reach its elastic limit beyond which it will not return to the exact dimensions upon release of the load.
Higher-strength steels contain higher levels of carbon. Structures subject to cyclic loading—such as road While increasing the carbon levels adds strength, it bridges, certain industrial buildings, gymnasiums, also increases brittleness and makes steel less easy to and dance floors—must be designed against fatigue weld.
More brittle steel has a greater susceptibility to failure. This is done by estimating the number of brittle fracture in cold conditions, and hence steel loading cycles over the lifetime of the structure and must be specified not only based on its yield stress using experimental data to reduce the design stress characteristics but also the climate conditions to of the steel.
Brittleness can be assessed by measuring the resistance of steel to impact. A common test to assess impact resistance is the Charpy v-notch test, which involves using a pendulum to strike a sample of material and calculating the energy absorbed in the sample by measuring how far the pendulum swings back after striking the sample.
These include reducing the Concrete is graded in terms of its compressive size of the concrete pour, protecting curing concrete strength and the exposure conditions that it will be from drying out by covering it with wet cloth, or subject to.
The actual design-mix proportions, reducing the volume of water in the concrete mix by including the percentage of cement, will then be using chemical additives called plasticizers. In reinforced concrete the cover of the concrete to the Creep steel reinforcing bars is also an important parameter. As concrete reinforcement is not exposed to any chemicals or beams are loaded they are subject to creep, which water in the environment that could cause it to rust.
As steel rusts it expands. This causes the concrete to The degree of creep is subject to many criteria spall, which in turn leads to greater damage including the concrete mix design and the relative occurring.
Minimum depths of cover are provided in humidity during curing and in-use conditions. In these Concrete can shrink in several different ways after it is situations as the deflection of the concrete beam poured, owing to the loss of moisture and subsequent increases the non-loadbearing elements can be change in volume.
Shrinkage can be to two-thirds at the design stage. Engineered products also are Timber is an orthotropic material, and has varying more dimensionally stable as the thin veneers can be structural properties in different directions. This is dried effectively during the fabrication process, thus particularly relevant in shear design of timber beams alleviating the issue of drying out while in use.
This is often allowed for in the design shear stress see section 2. Natural material Timber being a naturally occurring material means Service class that it contains imperfections and irregularities such Timber exhibits different properties when wet, and as knots and can develop splits, known as shakes, as therefore the design must recognize the likelihood of it dries out. In addition timber is a hygroscopic the timber becoming wet and amend the material material meaning that it will give up moisture as it properties accordingly.
Timber is unique among structural materials in these respects. The stress across the This is commonly rewritten as: cross-section of the beam between these extreme fibers will vary as described in section 2.
This is known as the neutral axis. Elastic design inertia. A beam designed in the square of the distance from their centroid to the accordance with elastic theory will reach its maximum neutral axis, the summation of these quantities for the bending capacity when the extreme fibers on its whole cross-sectional area is the second moment of upper and lower faces reach their elastic stress limit, area.
For a rectangular section, this is calculated as: as indicated in the stress distribution diagrams opposite. A stress block indicating a section that has developed full plastic capacity is indicated opposite.
Providing the compression flange of the section is restrained this equates to the deeper section being capable of supporting over 11 times more load when orientated with a greater depth. The length over which buckling occurs in a pin-ended column is half of the length over which i Compressive failure buckling can occur in a fully fixed column.
A column ii Buckling with one end fixed and one end free to rotate and move a cantilever will have an effective buckling Compressive failure is a function of the cross- length of twice a pinned column.
These and other end sectional area of the section and the strength of the restraint conditions together with the associated material. Quite simply: if the load applied is too great column effective lengths are demonstrated for the column to withstand, it will crush the member. Equations developed by Euler describe the critical loads columns can withstand Hence, capacity of strut owing to pure compressive prior to buckling.
This can be demonstrated simply with a inch plastic ruler as Slenderness is defined as: it is loaded carefully by hand. As can be seen from the equations above the buckling As the slenderness of a column increases the criteria capacity of a column is inversely proportional to the governing its axial strength alters from a stress- effective length of the column squared. In the case of a non- certain limit. The graph below indicates this symmetrical column section, the second moment of relationship.
For this reason, typical column end. Pinned supports at the top and bottom provide sections such as wide flanges W-shapes tend to be no restraint to rotation, and therefore the deflected relatively symmetrical in comparison to, for example, shape of the column will be a single curve as it is universal steel beams, which have large disparities loaded axially, as indicated in the photograph of a between their slenderness ratios in the x and y axes rule opposite.
When the top and bottom supports are see diagrams on page Hence doubling the length of, for example, a 26 foot-long beam to 52 feet without The formulae for calculating the deflection of beams changing its section properties will result in an under common loading and support conditions are increase in deflection of 2 to the power 4, or 16 times indicated on the diagrams in section 2. Increasing the span of a foot beam to 20 feet without changing any of the The second moment of area of a beam significantly section properties will result in the deflection impacts the degree a beam will deflect, as can be increasing by over 3 times.
Therefore the deflection of a beam under uniformly distributed load is inversely related to the cube of the depth of the member. So increasing the depth of a member by a factor of 2 reduces the deflection of the system by 2 to the power 3, which is 8 times. This section examines another set of criteria that a structure has to meet to ensure that the building can serve the purposes for which it has been designed.
These criteria are the 2. In certain circumstances an increased deflection The extent to which a structure can deflect vertically criteria is required. For example, in commercial without exceeding any of the serviceability conditions buildings the cladding is often made from large is a function of the length of the span and the glazed units that are susceptible to damage owing to deflection under live load.
In order to limit the possibility of visual sagging, long-span beams can be fabricated with an upward curve that offsets some of the dead load deflection. This is called pre-cambering. Beams are often pre-cambered in the opposite direction to the deflection in order to cancel out the majority of the dead load deflection, thus reducing the overall perceived critical deflection.
Vibrations can be neighboring elements. This leads to a more accurate caused by a single impulse force, such as the approximation of the behavior. Further executions of dropping of equipment, or, for example, an industrial the calculations will increase the accuracy of the process.
In FEA these calculations can be run oscillates. The amplitude and frequency of each many times, enabling very accurate models of oscillation will determine how perceptible the components to be developed. Breaking the elements vibration is to the building user. Amplitude and down into even smaller pieces further increases the frequency are functions of the span and stiffness of accuracy of the FEA, but requires a greater number of the floorplate, its self weight, the intrinsic damping calculations to be undertaken and therefore greater within the floor, and the force that is causing the computing power.
Finite Element deflection criteria; however, the perception to a Analysis FEA is a method that can be used to create building user can be of much greater discomfort. The a mathematical model of a structure. The technique acceptable levels of vibration vary significantly subdivides structural components into small pieces, between building usages, from industrial facilities at or elements, and sets up mathematical equations that one end to laboratories and hospital surgeries at the model the behavior of and interaction between these other.
A range of acceptable vibration criteria is elements, and thus the structure as a whole. These available in design guides, advising on the maximum equations are then solved simultaneously in order to accelerations of the floor for different end-user find an approximate solution; that is, to predict how conditions. For example, a floorplate interconnected components and examines how they may be designed to support vertical loads via a can be categorized and stabilized.
Similarly, arches and trusses are for structures, which was first published in He commonly required to support irregular loads that separated structural types into four categories: induce bending stresses in their components, thus reducing their structural effectiveness. Once the mechanism of load transfer in a building is identified, a designer can determine what parameters will and will not affect the structural efficiency of that building, and develop a design accordingly.
The most simplistic and easily apparent of are in pure compression. Other, more three-dimensional components are subjected to pure axial stresses examples include tensile fabric and gridshell either compression or tension only. If a point load is structures, which when placed under tension also applied to the surface of a flexible form active create stable forms that can be manipulated using structure, deformations will occur.
Even rigid arches double curves to create more interesting and more will develop bending under point loads unless the stable arrangements. Pneumatic structures are further examples of structures whose form is directly related to the hydrostatic forces applied to them.
More common but less obvious examples of form active structures include arches. To achieve this the loads must be applied at significant bending or shear forces. The distribution of or through the points where the members connect— the externally applied force back to the points of known as the nodes. Therefore, individual structure. More complex examples include components of vector active structures are often spaceframes and spherical or hemispherical designed with some additional sectional capacity to dome structures.
Openings within a masonry domes, cellular buildings, and concrete stressed surface, or other discontinuities, also reduce shells. These are characterized by rigid surfaces that the structural efficiency of the system. As with form active When a surface active structure is designed purely to structures, any applied forces are redirected via the respond to the forces applied to it, it can be an form or shape of the structures and therefore shape is extremely efficient form.
For example, the reinforced- intrinsically linked to structural performance. For example, the efficiency of a dome is driven by its height in relation to its span. In many buildings the floor structure is designed as a A perfectly hemispherical dome is the most horizontal surface active structural element, known as structurally efficient form in terms of material used a diaphragm. This is used to transfer lateral loads into and volume encapsulated. This is expanded on in Again, as with form active structures, surface active section 2.
Section active structures rely on the sectional properties of individual rigid components, such as The structural efficiency of a section active structure beams and columns, to support applied loads. All is dependent on the cross-sectional properties of the buildings that are constructed from beams, slabs, and individual components and their unrestrained length columns—from agricultural sheds to high-rise and height.
This must be done without overstressing any structural elements and without the building There are several fundamentally different methods by undergoing significant lateral deflections. The most common of these are explained in the following sections.
The extent to which a structure can be allowed to deflect under lateral loads is dependent on the use of the building and the material from which it is constructed. In each of these stiff frames Lateral loads, particularly wind, can be applied in all the connection between the beam and the column is directions and so a rigid framed structure must be designed to be capable of transferring both the designed with frames orientated at right angles to bending moment and the shear force that are one another to resist all possible loading scenarios.
Since this stiff moment connection The floor slabs that span between each frame in a will not rotate, the frame will remain rigid under rigid framed structure and most other stabilizing lateral load. The only lateral deflection that can occur systems are often designed to act as diaphragms and will be due to the deflection of the vertical columns, distribute the lateral loads into each frame. In many which are designed to limit this deflection to within cases the horizontal depth of the slab provides a acceptable parameters.
Even a timber pinned connections rather than moment connections, floor can be considered to be a stiff diaphragm when the frame would have no capacity to resist lateral detailed correctly. The location of large openings in loads and would form a mechanism that is by the floorplate must be carefully considered to ensure definition unstable.
These stiff The floorplans of rigid frame buildings, however, are elements—as is the case for the frames in a rigid not limited by the need for cores or shear walls and framed structure—must continue for the full height of can therefore accommodate more open-plan the building. Ideally the location of the stiff cores, bracing, or shear Such factors as the total height of a building, the walls in a braced structure will be distributed evenly height between each floor of a multistory building, on plan.
This will result in an even deflection of the and the span between the columns all have a building under lateral load. If the shear wall and cores significant effect on frame stiffness. As frame stiffness are distributed non-symmetrically the structure can reduces, column and beam sizes must increase to be subject to twisting under lateral loads.
These factors significantly influence the efficiency of braced and rigid frames and can determine which is the most suitable option. As a typical masonry house with brick- and blockwork mentioned previously, this is an example where a cavity walls and a timber joist floorplate with timber structural element is designed with two distinct load floorboards.
Other examples of common cellular transfer mechanisms: surface active to transfer the structures include in situ timber studwork structures, horizontal loads and section active to support the and precast concrete and prefabricated steel vertical loads. In summary, for cellular systems to be effective the The stability of a cellular structure is provided by the following conditions have to be achieved: walls, which act as surface active stiff panels that transfer the horizontal loads to the foundation level.
So the walls in a cellular structure must be ii The floorplate must be capable of acting as a distributed in both perpendicular directions to ensure diaphragm. Timber joists in particular require blocking the structure is capable of resisting the horizontal and to be positively fixed to the floorboards.
Large openings for adequately transferred. The stability form. These include many form and surface active system of domes and tension fabric structures are examples such as domes, shells, gridshells, cable net, examined on the following sketches.

When a building via cores or shear walls. Exterior structures, structure approaches 30 stories or, say, feet high, on the other hand, use the perimeter skin of the alternative, more complex stability systems are building to form a stiff tube to provide stability. These different systems can be separated into two Examples of each of the subgroups of these distinct groups: typologies, together with the ranges over which they are efficient, are provided in the following tables.
This has a greater width than an internal core, making it more efficient. Section 2. This enables buildings to have larger grids with fewer columns Weight In general steel-framed buildings weigh less than concrete-framed ones, and therefore exert smaller loads onto their foundation system Deflection Deflection, as opposed to stress failure, is often a critical design criterion for steel beams—particularly long-span beams. This can be limited by pre-cambering up to two-thirds of the dead load applied to a steel beam Vibration As steel frames are often lightweight and relatively long-span, they can be susceptible to adverse in-use vibrations.
This must be identified and designed out—by reducing spans, increasing permanent dead loads, or stiffening the system Fire protection Steel has virtually no inherent fire resistance and normally requires additional measures, such as sprayed or painted coatings applied directly to its surface or boarding with fire-resistant material, to achieve the necessary fire protection Program Steel frames can be erected very quickly in comparison to concrete frames, reducing construction programs.
Post-tensioning of the concrete can be used to further increase the distances that can be efficiently spanned Weight In general, concrete-framed buildings weigh more than steel-framed buildings and therefore exert larger loads onto their foundation system Deflection The deflection of concrete elements is normally governed by the depth of the beam in relation to its span. Cover can be increased to achieve higher protection as required Program In situ concrete frames take longer to the requirement for following trades for construct than steel frames.
Precast frames suspended ceilings and some cladding can be constructed in a similar timescale as that for steel frames. Existing concrete intrusive examination. Typically low-rise up to 5 stories Structural performance Timber frames generally are designed to performance of timber. The grade of timber span shorter distances than concrete or steel. The information in this section is divided into coverage of the structural elements—including beams, slabs, and columns—and then subdivided according to the various materials commonly used to form these elements.
The and secondary beams can rules of thumb in this table assume significantly affect the load a system that an aspect ratio of approximately can support, and hence will impact is achieved. Pancras resist spreading forces generated Station, within the arch structure. This can be London, achieved via a lateral restraint at the spans ft.

See section 2. Owing load owing to self weight to a predetermined curve in the 4 Post-tensioned beams are usually tendons, this tensioning induces a used in conjunction with post- compression force into the soffit of tensioned concrete slabs, and with the beam and a tensile force on the wide beams measuring upper face. This in turn increases the Glue-laminated beams glulam , strength of the element.

Finding and creating calculate optimum structural solutions new structural forms was accomplished for given geometric parameters. In the case of a engineering tools. In the case of Otto—and suspension bridge, the cables that are stretched specifically his work with soap films—these models between the masts form a catenary curve; however, were painstakingly photographed, logged, mapped, once the cables become loaded by hanging a deck and drawn, generating profiles for latterly realized from vertical cables placed at regular intervals the projects.
