  2. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    Like other structural elements, a cantilever can be formed as a beam, plate, truss, or slab. When subjected to a structural load at its far, unsupported end, the cantilever carries the load to the support where it applies a shear stress and a bending moment. [1] Cantilever construction allows overhanging structures without additional support.

  3. Cantilever method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_method

    The cantilever method is an approximate method for calculating shear forces and moments developed in beams and columns of a frame or structure due to lateral loads. The applied lateral loads typically include wind loads and earthquake loads, which must be taken into consideration while designing buildings.

  4. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).

  5. Pipe support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_support

    A pipe support or pipe hanger is a designed element that transfer the load from a pipe to the supporting structures. The load includes the weight of the pipe proper, the content that the pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe, and the pipe covering such as insulation. The four main functions of a pipe support are to anchor, guide ...

  6. Specified minimum yield strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specified_Minimum_Yield...

    It is an indication of the minimum stress a pipe may experience that will cause plastic (permanent) deformation. The SMYS is required to determine the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of a pipeline, as determined by Barlow's Formula which is P = (2 * S * T)/(OD * SF), where P is pressure, OD is the pipe’s outside diameter, S is the ...

  7. Tube (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(structure)

    John Hancock Center in Chicago, designed in 1965 and finished in 1969, is an example of the trussed tube structural design. In structural engineering, the tube is a system where, to resist lateral loads (wind, seismic, impact), a building is designed to act like a hollow cylinder, cantilevered perpendicular to the ground.

  8. Double tee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tee

    The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) published the double tee load capacity calculation (load tables) for the first time in the PCI Design Handbook in 1971. The load tables use the code to identify double tee span type by using the width in feet, followed by "DT", followed by depth in inches, for example, 4DT14 is for 4-foot (1.2 m ...

  9. Energy release rate (fracture mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_release_rate...

    Double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen under tensile load. J-integral path for the DCB specimen under tensile load. Consider the double cantilever beam specimen shown in the figure, where the crack centered in the beam of height has a length of , and a load is applied to open the crack. Assume that the material is linearly-elastic and that the ...
