Good day! I don't know if they are called Structural design philosophy but, can anyone enumerate(if the list is incomplete) and differentiate the : 1. Ultimate Strength Design 2. Working Stress Design 3. Limit State Design 4. Allowable Stress Design 5. Others (If there are) Help...

Homework Statement FIND MAXIMUM DEFLECTION AND ITS LOCATION (PLEASE SEE THE FIGURE)... THANKS Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

Can we get the rotation(Slope) of a TRUSS member, let's say a warren truss using Castigliano's Theorem? Thanks.

Thanks bda23. That's the answer I'm waiting for my confirmation. Thanks for other's idea :D

I just suspect that the shear diagram is difference with the two cases. but the moment is the same..

Just want to ask if the moment diagram of Cantilever beam with fixed end at left is the same as with fixed end at right. What I mean is that they are just mirrored ? Thanks

I know the main focus of Civil Engineers are the strength of the structures. I also know that Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics are important in designing dams or other structures related to fluid. But what about to Building structures? How is it important?

"In practical siphons, atmospheric pressure pushes the liquid up the tube into the region of reduced pressure at the top of the tube in the same way as a barometer, and indeed the maximum height of a siphon is the same as the height of a barometer, because they operate by the same mechanism. The...

How does SIPHON work? especially with the simple apparatus in transferring liquid from a container to other container. Would you please help me understanding the mechanism behind this. Then principles are used here.. Thanks :)

Urgent Help Please! Just want to ask some rules/ tips in drawing MOMENT DIAGRAM BY PARTS and COMPUTING FOR THE MOMENT OF THE AREA OF THE MOMENT about a particular axis. Here's the step I typically do: 1. Get the reactions. 2. Plot the moment diagram of EVERY force. (that's why it's...

(I don't know how to quote , ahaha) Thanks. Actually I had 2 solutions , one is rotating the axes (because my professor told us that in that sense we can eleminate the use of simultaneous equation) and i also use the unrotated one which fairly the same. nevertheless i got the answer. heheFrom...

Thanks! :D

If i have a simple suppoted beam, let's say for example 2 supports with overhanging loads at end and/or midspan. DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE zero deflection at the support? or are there times that there is deflection at those supports? :confused:

ahh..haha, I'm sorry for that silly answer.haha.. here's my solution Summation of forces horizontal (Fn)Sin30 + (Ff)(Cos30) = Fc (Fn)(sin30) + (ff)(cos 30)= (Wv^2)/(gr) (Fn)(sin30) + (ff)(cos 30)= ((3220)(88^2))/((32.2)(200)) (Fn)(sin30) + (ff)(cos 30)= 3872 <--------Equation (1) Summation...

I used FBD. I get Ff= 1743 and Fn= 4724.
