AI Thread Summary
Built-in (encastre) beams are fixed to a flat surface, providing high resistance to both horizontal and vertical forces while preventing free rotation at the ends. This design allows maximum bending moments to be transferred to the supports, making these beams ideal for high-elevation structures that require significant force resistance. The structural stability offered by built-in beams is crucial for ensuring safety and durability in construction. Resources like Wikipedia and The Constructor provide further insights into cantilever beams and their applications. Understanding the properties of built-in beams is essential for effective structural engineering.

Hi

Ive write about beams and on last one having bit of trouble finding stuff. Has anybody know where built in (encastre) beams are used.

Ive write so far

build in beams are beams that are fixed to a flat plane surface. Fixation provide high resistance to force applied (horzontial and vertial) to the beam and provents free rotation in the the beam ends. max bending moments are deflected to the supports. Due to these properties this alows the beam to be idea for high elevation builds due to the greater force required for the beams to resist.

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'

Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
