Mechanics of Materials – Basics
Mechanics of Materials – Basics I would like to describe the process or logic or algorithm if you will in which must be followed in order to develop theories for mechanics of materials. The process / logic / algorithm can go in…
Stability – AISC’s Approximate Second-Order Analysis B1 B2 Method
AISC’s Approximate Second-Order Analysis B1 B2 Method Lets look at a very simple building with a simple moment frame to resist lateral loads. We will complete the analysis using AISC’s approximate second-order analysis more commonly known as the B1 – B2…
Portal Method – Moments and Deflection
Portal Method – Moments and Deflection The portal method is an analysis method for used for finding approximate internal forces in indeterminate structures subject to a lateral load. Portal Frame Assumptions: Zero moment at the center of each girder. Therefore…
