Finite Element Method and Some Examples

Finite element method (FEM) is a numerical solution method which search a solution with an acceptable approach in various engineering problems.


Shell, Plate and Membrane

In SAP2000 there are 5 several options to design of slabs; shell-thin, shell-thick, plate-thin, plate-thick and membrane.


Ductility in Structures

Ductility describes the extent to which a material (or structure) can undergo large deformations without failing.


Effect of the Stiffness of RC Beam Column Connections in the Stiffness of Building

A beam-column joint is a very critical zone in reinforced concrete framed structure. In RC structures, failure in a beam often occurs at the beam-column joint.


Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Beam Column Joints

There are some parameters that influence the behaviour of joints. One of them,…


Shear Wall Strength

Shear walls are structural elements used to resist the horizontal (parallel to the wall plane) loads...


Minimum Reinforcement Ratio in Concrete

Minimum reinforcement ratio is defined by considering that "peak load at first concrete cracking" and "ultimate load after steel yielding" are equal.


Advantages of Prestressed Concrete

There are some advantages in prestressed concrete compare than classic concrete.


Type of Supports; Roller, Hinge, Fixed

Roller supports are free to rorate and only one direction it doesn't provide to translate...
