Professional tools for calculations and dimensioning of mechanical engineering problems using Excel spreadsheets.
Note:
* Signs for axial compression/Tension have to be specified ( – for compression or + for tension).
* All bending moments signs shall be positive.
* This spread sheet does not check for hydrostatic loadings and can only be used for members above water.
*Torsional Shear will be added in further revisions
A stair flight is a The simplest type of staircase consists of an inclined, reinforced concrete slab. It is supported at its ends by beams, and steps are formed on its upper surface. …
The units become monolithic through the action of the reinforcing steel and site cast concrete of the column.
Axial tension force can be defined as the force acting on a body in its axial direction. It’s a pulling force that will cause the body to elongate linearly in the positive direction causing a change in its dimension.
Axial–Flexual Response of Cross-Sections
The actual bending in a flexural member is about a single axis, defined earlier as the Neutral Axis, which is in line with the major principle axis. If this neutral axis happens to be parallel to one of the coordinate axes, then we call this “uniaxial” bending.
The general steps for analysing a determinate frame are: Use equilibrium to find all reaction forces. Split the frame into separate members. Any point load or moment which acts directly on a joint between two or more members must be placed on only ONE of the members when they are split up.
