  2. Cantilever method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_method

    The position of the centroidal axis (the center of gravity line for the frame) is determined by using the areas of the end columns and interior columns. The cantilever method is considered one of the two primary approximate methods (the other being the portal method) for indeterminate structural analysis of frames for lateral loads. Its use is ...

  3. 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.

  4. Cantilever bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_bridge

    A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers).For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete.

  5. Structural analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analysis

    In the context to structural analysis, a structure refers to a body or system of connected parts used to support a load. Important examples related to Civil Engineering include buildings, bridges, and towers; and in other branches of engineering, ship and aircraft frames, tanks, pressure vessels, mechanical systems, and electrical supporting structures are important.

  6. List of bridge failures - Wikipedia

    Concrete road bridge 2 killed Partial collapsed Two spans collapsed due to flooding, and a car fell to the river. The damaged bridge was demolished and replaced by a new one. Boulevard du Souvenir overpass collapse: Laval, Quebec: Canada: 18 June 2000: Steel beams and concrete Beam weakness and other unspecified reasons. 1 killed, 2 injured ...

  7. Flexural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_rigidity

    However, in cases of non-prismatic members, such as the case of the tapered beams or columns or notched stair stringers, the flexural rigidity will vary along the length of the beam as well. The flexural rigidity, moment, and transverse displacement are related by the following equation along the length of the rod, x {\displaystyle x} :

  8. Falsework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsework

    The illustrations are of modern pipe-column falsework, used to support the formwork for a post-tensioned reinforced concrete flyover connector for the eastern span replacement of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. When the supports are complete, wood beams and plywood or reusable metal forms will be placed, reinforcing and tenon conduits ...

  9. Tieback (geotechnical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tieback_(geotechnical)

    Grouted tiebacks can be constructed as steel rods drilled through a concrete wall out into the soil or bedrock on the other side. Grout is then pumped under pressure into the tieback anchor holes to increase soil resistance and thereby prevent tiebacks from pulling out, reducing the risk for wall destabilization.
