2. Moment-resisting frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment-resisting_frame

   Steel moment-resisting frames have been in use for more than one hundred years, dating to the earliest use of structural steel in building construction. Steel building construction with the frame carrying the vertical loads initiated with the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, a 10-story structure constructed in 1884 with a height of 138 ft ...

3. Price elasticity of supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_supply

   The price elasticity of supply (PES or E s) is commonly known as “a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity supplied of a good or service to a change in its price.” Price elasticity of supply, in application, is the percentage change of the quantity supplied resulting from a 1% change in price.

4. Steel building - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_building

   Steel building on a farm in Shenandoah County, Virginia The Minor Basilica of San Sebastián (1891) in Manila, a Philippines National Heritage Landmark. [1]A steel building is a metal structure fabricated with steel for the internal support and for exterior cladding, as opposed to steel framed buildings which generally use other materials for floors, walls, and external envelope.

5. Steel frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_frame

   Steel frame structure Rectangular steel frame, or "perimeter frame" of the Willis building (at right) contrasted against the diagrid frame at 30 St Mary Axe (at center), in London. Steel frame is a building technique with a " skeleton frame" of vertical steel columns and horizontal I-beams , constructed in a rectangular grid to support the ...

6. Elasticity (economics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(economics)

   Like Price Elasticity of Demand, time also affects Price Elasticity of Supply. Though, there are other varying factors that affect this too, such as: capacity, availability of raw materials, flexibility, and the number of competitors in the market. Though, the time horizon is arguably the most influential detriment to price elasticity of supply ...

7. Elastic properties of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_properties_of_the...

   Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress.They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength.

8. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

   A popular misconception is that all materials that bend are "weak" and those that do not are "strong". In reality, many materials that undergo large elastic and plastic deformations, such as steel, are able to absorb stresses that would cause brittle materials, such as glass, with minimal plastic deformation ranges, to break.

9. Self-framing metal buildings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Framing_Metal_Buildings

   Self-framing metal buildings are a form of pre-engineered building which utilizes roll formed roof and wall panel diaphragms as significant parts of the structural supporting system. Additional structural elements may include mill or cold-formed elements to stiffen the diaphragm perimeters, transfer forces between diaphragms and provide ...
