Design of built-up compression members should comply with the basic requirement for prevention of local and overall buckling of compression members
The design strength and allowable stresses for prismatic built-up members subjected to axial tension by static forces are the same
Cables, more commonly referred to as wire rope, are sometimes used in buildings to support long-span roofs, to suspend floorbeams from
Saddles atop towers of suspension bridges may be large steel castings in one piece (Fig. 15.35) or, to reduce weight, partly
Under sufficiently adverse combinations of tensile stress, temperature, loading rate, geometric discontinuity (notch), and restraint, a steel member may experience a
Safe yet economical building designs necessitate application of reasonable and prudent design loads. Computation of design loads can require a complex
Since all arches are subjected to large compressive stresses and also usually carry significant bending moments, stability considerations must be addressed.
A building code is a legal ordinance enacted by public bodies, such as city councils, regional planning commissions, states, or federal
Brackets are projections that carry loads. The connection of a bracket to a support has to transmit both shear and
