  2. Preconsolidation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preconsolidation_pressure

    The point where the lines in part 4 and part 5 intersect is the preconsolidation pressure. [ 7 ] Gregory et al. [ 8 ] proposed an analytical method to calculate preconsolidation stress that avoids subjective interpretations of the location of the maximum curvature point (i.e. Minimum radius of curvature).

  3. Macaulay's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay's_method

    Simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load. An illustration of the Macaulay method considers a simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load as shown in the adjacent figure. The first step is to find . The reactions at the supports A and C are determined from the balance of forces and moments as

  4. Overburden pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overburden_pressure

    Pressure is force magnitude applied over an area.Overburden pressure is a geology term that denotes the pressure caused by the weight of the overlying layers of material at a specific depth under the earth's surface. [1]

  5. Demurrage - Wikipedia

    "Demurrage" / d ɪ ˈ m ʌ r ɪ dʒ / [1] in vessel chartering is the amount of liquidated damages owed by a charterer to a shipowner when the charterer remained in possession of the vessel for the purpose of loading and unloading beyond the time allowed by contract. [2]

  6. Moving load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_load

    Inertial load in numerical models is described in [5] Unexpected property of differential equations that govern the motion of the mass particle travelling on the string, Timoshenko beam, and Mindlin plate is described in. [ 6 ] It is the discontinuity of the mass trajectory near the end of the span (well visible in string at the speed v =0.5 c ).

  7. Angle of repose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_repose

    When bulk granular materials are poured onto a horizontal surface, a conical pile forms. The internal angle between the surface of the pile and the horizontal surface is known as the angle of repose and is related to the density, surface area and shapes of the particles, and the coefficient of friction of the material. Material with a low angle ...

    A surcharge may refer to: An extra fee added onto another fee or charge Bunker adjustment factor, sea freight charges which represents additions due to oil prices; Surcharge (payment systems), charged by merchants when receiving payment by cheque, credit, charge or debit card; An overprint that affects the value of a postage stamp

  9. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    A structural load or structural action is a mechanical load (more generally a force) applied to structural elements. [1] [2] A load causes stress, deformation, displacement or acceleration in a structure. Structural analysis, a discipline in engineering, analyzes the effects of loads on structures and structural elements.
