  2. Cellular beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_beam

    Cellular beams are usually made of structural steel, but can also be made of other materials. [5] The cellular beam is a structural element that mainly withstands structural load laterally applied to the axis of the beam, and influences the overall performance of steel framed buildings. [6] The type of deflection is mainly done by bending.

  3. Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Structural...

    ASEP exists in the advancement of structural engineering in the Philippines as well as upholding ethical values in the promotion of national and international professional collaboration with governments, industry and the academe. [4] The organization specifically lobbies on legislation of the Philippines [5] in the national and local levels.

  4. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    Deflection (f) in engineering. In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element (such as beam) is deformed laterally (in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis) under a load.

  5. Beam (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(structure)

    A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally across the beam's axis (an element designed to carry a load pushing parallel to its axis would be a strut or column). Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending , as loads produce reaction forces at the beam's support points and internal bending moments , shear ...

  6. Precast concrete lifting anchor system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precast_concrete_lifting...

    F/n = 23 kN per anchor during site lifting (n = 2 lifting anchors) Reference to the load capacity tables provided by the anchor manufacturer is required to make an anchor selection for the specific concrete strengths at the time of lifting. Hence the great of the two calculated anchor capacities required at the concrete strength of the initial ...

  7. Ultimate load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_load

    In engineering, the ultimate load [1] is a statistical figure used in calculations, and should (hopefully) never actually occur.. Strength requirements are specified in terms of limit loads (the maximum loads to be expected in service) and ultimate loads (limit loads multiplied by prescribed factors of safety).

  8. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    Hence the axial splitting occurs most often when there is no confining pressure, i.e. a lesser compressive load on axis perpendicular to the main applied load. [6] The material now split into micro columns will feel different frictional forces either due to inhomogeneity of interfaces on the free end or stress shielding.

  9. Prestressed concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete

    This can result in improved structural capacity or serviceability, or both, compared with conventionally reinforced concrete in many situations. [6] [2]: 6 In a prestressed concrete member, the internal stresses are introduced in a planned manner so that the stresses resulting from the imposed loads are counteracted to the desired degree.
