  2. Nail (fastener) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_(fastener)

    Nails are made in a great variety of forms for specialized purposes. The most common is a wire nail. [2] Other types of nails include pins, tacks, brads, spikes, and cleats. Nails are typically driven into the workpiece by a hammer or nail gun. A nail holds materials together by friction in the axial direction and shear strength

  3. Shear strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength

    In structural and mechanical engineering, the shear strength of a component is important for designing the dimensions and materials to be used for the manufacture or construction of the component (e.g. beams, plates, or bolts). In a reinforced concrete beam, the main purpose of reinforcing bar (rebar) stirrups is to increase the shear strength.

  4. Soil nailing - Wikipedia

    Next, the advantages and disadvantages for a soil nail wall should be assessed for the particular application being considered. Then, other systems should be considered for the particular application. Finally, cost of the soil nail wall should be considered. [4]: 13–14 Soil nail walls can be used for a variety of soil types and conditions ...

  6. Shear strength (soil) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength_(soil)

    The shear strength of soil depends on the effective stress, the drainage conditions, the density of the particles, the rate of strain, and the direction of the strain. For undrained, constant volume shearing, the Tresca theory may be used to predict the shear strength, but for drained conditions, the Mohr–Coulomb theory may be used.

  7. 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.

  8. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The strength of materials is determined using various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural members, such as beams, columns, and shafts. The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure modes takes into account the properties of the materials such as its yield strength, ultimate strength, Young's modulus ...
