  2. Macaulay's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay's_method

    Using these integration rules makes the calculation of the deflection of Euler-Bernoulli beams simple in situations where there are multiple point loads and point moments. The Macaulay method predates more sophisticated concepts such as Dirac delta functions and step functions but achieves the same outcomes for beam problems.

  3. Shear and moment diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_and_moment_diagram

    Shear and Bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span. Shear force and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear forces and bending moments at a given point of a structural element such as a beam.

  4. Preconsolidation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preconsolidation_pressure

    The point where the lines in part 4 and part 5 intersect is the preconsolidation pressure. [ 7 ] Gregory et al. [ 8 ] proposed an analytical method to calculate preconsolidation stress that avoids subjective interpretations of the location of the maximum curvature point (i.e. Minimum radius of curvature).

  5. Lateral earth pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_earth_pressure

    An example of lateral earth pressure overturning a retaining wall. The lateral earth pressure is the pressure that soil exerts in the horizontal direction. It is important because it affects the consolidation behavior and strength of the soil and because it is considered in the design of geotechnical engineering structures such as retaining walls, basements, tunnels, deep foundations and ...

  6. Fixed end moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_end_moment

    The two cases with distributed loads can be derived from the case with concentrated load by integration. For example, when a uniformly distributed load of intensity q {\displaystyle q} is acting on a beam, then an infinitely small part d x {\displaystyle dx} distance x {\displaystyle x} apart from the left end of this beam can be seen as being ...

  7. Stress distribution in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_distribution_in_soil

    Stress distribution in soil is a function of the type of soil, the relative rigidity of the soil and the footing, and the depth of foundation at level of contact between footing and soil. [1]

  8. Surcharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surcharge

    A surcharge may refer to: An extra fee added onto another fee or charge Bunker adjustment factor, sea freight charges which represents additions due to oil prices; Surcharge (payment systems), charged by merchants when receiving payment by cheque, credit, charge or debit card; An overprint that affects the value of a postage stamp

  9. Moving load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_load

    Inertial load in numerical models is described in [5] Unexpected property of differential equations that govern the motion of the mass particle travelling on the string, Timoshenko beam, and Mindlin plate is described in. [ 6 ] It is the discontinuity of the mass trajectory near the end of the span (well visible in string at the speed v =0.5 c ).
