In addition to element analysis and design, the sensitivity of frames to sway as well as their propensity to second order effects should always be accessed. This is particularly very important for steel frames which are relatively lightweight. Find in this article, how to assess the stability of steel frames and how to allow for second order effects in your analysis. #structuralengineering #structuralengineer #structural #design #structuralanalysis #steelframes #civilconstruction #structurescentre

I am thrilled to announce that our new article titled "Investigating the synergistic performance of masonry buildings with steel slabs in structural Design: A case of historical Mahmut Nedim Kurkcuoglu mansion in Turkey" has been published in the journal Engineering Failure Analysis. In this study, the synergistic performance of steel beams used in the flooring systems of masonry buildings was examined through the example of Mahmut Nedim Kürkçüoğlu Mansion. Many thanks to all the collaborators. Hoping this study will be useful to researchers. Ferit CAKIR, Adil Can Subaşı The link is: https://lnkd.in/dfb6Yy4k

This article explores the analysis of free-standing staircases. It provides a comprehensive review of the different analytical approaches for analyzing them and introduces a simplified method suitable for preliminary analysis and design.

Excited to share our latest publication in Engineering Structures. The performance of RC frame corners in presence of opening moments is analysed in this publication and a general procedure (based on an equilibrium-based model) to design these details as a function of mechanical reinforcement ratio and detailing type is proposed. It has been a great pleasure to work with Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Duarte Viúla Faria and Fabio Brantschen, PhD on this work, a topic on which we will continue to work to further advance our knowledge.

Influence line is a classical method of determining the effect of moving load on structures such as beams and trusses. It is very useful in the design of bridges for determining the position of wheel load that will produce the worst effect in the structure….

In the design of a bridge foundation, a certain number of piles are required to achieve the necessary structural support. These piles can be arranged in different configurations: circular, square, and rectangular. i) How can we determine the optimal number of piles for each configuration (circular, square, and rectangular) to ensure the foundation meets the required bearing capacity and settlement criteria? ii) What methods or design principles should be used to compare these configurations and ensure that each maintains the necessary structural integrity and performance? iii) Are there any specific considerations or adjustments that need to be made when transitioning from one configuration to another to maintain the effectiveness of the pile foundation? Please provide a detailed analysis, including any relevant calculations, design standards, and practical considerations that should be taken into account. #geotechnical_engineer #pile_foundation_design

🔥 Special issue alert! 🔥   🔍 GLASS AND FIRE: Thermal and Mechanical Performance of Glass Elements Exposed to High Temperatures 🔍   Glass isn't just for windows anymore. To ensure safe and sustainable application of glass elements in structural design, we need to better understand the fire performance of glass elements.   This special issue of Glass Structures & Engineering aims to bring together world leading research and engineering on this topic. (submission deadline: 3rd of December, 2024)   Possible sub-topics include:   🔥 The structural performance of glass in fire conditions 🌬️ The impact of insulating glass units on fire dynamics 🏙️ The role of glass facades in tall building fire safety   #FireSafety #GlassInnovation #BuildingDesign #SpecialIssue Guest editors: Luisa Giuliani and Ruben Van Coile   https://lnkd.in/dy92aqex

SK-204 illustrates many of the features in the previous sketch, but at a larger scale. This sketch also elaborates on the conceptual ring segment design. Each segment will be bolted together at the segment flanges as shown. Note the Plan "D" which clearly indicates the scale of the RS as compared with a 6' human. Section "A-A" begins to illustrate the ideal ring segment construction and it is also an example of the huge scale of the RS. The one yard thick inner and outer hulls, packed with three yards of lunar regolith, will provide radiation protection, even during some coronal mass ejections. The design is shown as a conceptually simple assembly of components, but the technology to either cast or print these enormous structures is not within our capability at this time. Some preliminary work has been done in building the segments up by accretion, using a space based manufacturing paradigm simply outlined below.  It is anticipated that the steel for the segments will be mined and refined on the lunar surface, then launched to EML-1 by a maglev system. The steel will be launched in some combination of pellets and sheets, such that a series of mobile solar manufacturing facilities, receive the steel, regolith and other materials, then "weave" them into the segment structure. This design envisions sealable bulkheads approximately at 177' intervals, approximating current building codes. Should there be a hull breach, it could be retained. It may be that this is an excessive amount of safety. Some of the Kalpana type stations have no such breakdown of the conditioned volume, and hull breaches are not widely addressed in those designs. It may be that this RS design is too conservative and the possibility of hull breaches will have to be studied in greater detail.
