  2. Steel plate construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Plate_Construction

    Each assembly has two parallel steel plates joined by welded stringers or tie bars. The assemblies are then moved to the job site and placed with a crane. Finally, the space between the plate walls is filled with concrete. [1] The method provides excellent strength because the steel is on the outside, where tensile forces are often greatest.

  3. Steel design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

    Steel Design, or more specifically, Structural Steel Design, is an area of structural engineering used to design steel structures. These structures include schools , houses , bridges , commercial centers , tall buildings , warehouses , aircraft , ships and stadiums .

  4. Steel plate shear wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_plate_shear_wall

    [11] [12] [13] The method also addresses bending and shear interactions of the plastic ultimate capacity of steel panels, as well as bending and shear interactions of the ultimate yield strength for each individual component, that is the steel plate and surrounding frame.

  5. Point Pleasant Canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Pleasant_Canal

    The Point Pleasant Canal is a canal in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. It was completed in 1925 to connect the Manasquan Inlet and Manasquan River with Bay Head Harbor on the northern end of Barnegat Bay. The canal is part of the Intracoastal Waterway. With the completion of the canal, the Barnegat Peninsula effectively became an island.

  6. Static load testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_load_testing

    Kentledge load testing in Haikou, Hainan, China. Static load testing is an in situ type of load testing used in geotechnical investigation to determine the bearing capacity of deep foundations prior to the construction of a building. It differs from the statnamic load test and dynamic load testing in that the pressure applied to the pile is slower.

  7. A36 steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A36_steel

    A36 steel has a Poisson's ratio of 0.26 and a shear modulus of 11,500 ksi (79.3 GPa). [ 7 ] A36 steel in plates, bars, and shapes with a thickness of less than 8 inches (203 millimeters) has a minimum yield strength of 36 ksi (250 MPa ) and ultimate tensile strength of 58–80 ksi (400–550 MPa).

  8. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    Measuring the compressive strength of a steel drum. In mechanics, compressive strength (or compression strength) is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (compression). It is opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate, resisting tension (being pulled apart).

  9. Limit state design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_state_design

    Limit State Design (LSD), also known as Load And Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), refers to a design method used in structural engineering. A limit state is a condition of a structure beyond which it no longer fulfills the relevant design criteria. [ 1 ]
