  2. Sandwich theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_theory

    The behavior of a beam with sandwich cross-section under a load differs from a beam with a constant elastic cross section. If the radius of curvature during bending is large compared to the thickness of the sandwich beam and the strains in the component materials are small, the deformation of a sandwich composite beam can be separated into two ...

  3. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    A load case is a combination of different types of loads with safety factors applied to them. A structure is checked for strength and serviceability against all the load cases it is likely to experience during its lifetime. Typical load cases for design for strength (ultimate load cases; ULS) are: 1.2 x Dead Load + 1.6 x Live Load

  4. Cellular beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_beam

    Cellular beams are usually made of structural steel, but can also be made of other materials. [5] The cellular beam is a structural element that mainly withstands structural load laterally applied to the axis of the beam, and influences the overall performance of steel framed buildings. [6] The type of deflection is mainly done by bending.

  5. Double tee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tee

    Diagram of double tee beam. A double tee or double-T beam is a load-bearing structure that resembles two T-beams connected to each other side by side. The strong bond of the flange (horizontal section) and the two webs (vertical members, also known as stems) creates a structure that is capable of withstanding high loads while having a long span.

  6. Steel design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

    The design and use of steel frames are commonly employed in the design of steel structures. More advanced structures include steel plates and shells. In structural engineering, a structure is a body or combination of pieces of the rigid bodies in space that form a fitness system for supporting loads and resisting moments.

  8. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    Euler–Bernoulli beam theory (also known as engineer's beam theory or classical beam theory) [1] is a simplification of the linear theory of elasticity which provides a means of calculating the load-carrying and deflection characteristics of beams. It covers the case corresponding to small deflections of a beam that is subjected to lateral ...

  9. 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.
