How to reduce the earthquake effects?
Earthquakes can be one of the most unpredictable natural disasters. It causes wide spread damage to buildings and infrastructure, as well as loss of life. However, there are steps that
What are different steel sections used for construction?
To what extent do we take notice of the geometric form of the steel sections utilized in construction and comprehend their importance? We mold steel into various shapes; we mostly
Eccentrically loaded columns| Kern of the section
When you load the column about its axis means the action line of load and the centroid of the column are coinciding then it is called the cocentrically loaded column.
Euler’s critical load for fixed-free column
To understand this situation let’s try to hold the scale as given in the figure. This time hold the column from one end only. You may feel the difference in
Euler’s critical load for fixed-pin column
When you hold the scale from one end and just support it from the other end with finger (you can refer the figure). The scale behavior will change as the
Euler’s critical load for fixed-fixed column
The column behavior changes with the end condition. To demonstrate this, pick one piece of wire or the scale. Assume this as your column. In the first case, hold the
How to draw shear force and bending moment?
When you apply the load in the scale, as shown in the figure, you are applying a transverse load in the scale. These transverse load in the scale causes the
What are the physical and mechanical properties of steel?
Did you know that having a solid grasp of steel’s physical and mechanical properties is the key to making informed decisions when it comes to selecting the right material and
What is equilibrium? | Stable and unstable equilibrium
To understand equilibrium, let’s do some simple demonstrations. First, pick any bottle near you (mineral water bottle, cold drink bottle). Then, try to put it on the table in three
What is BOD? Definition, effect and measurement
To run your system you need oxygen and food. Similarly, micro organism also needs oxygen to consume food? So, the amount of oxygen required by the microorganisms to consume the
