Composite Section Analysis Finally we came to the composite section analysis. One of the best examples is from Dr. Gilbert and Dr. Ranzi (Ex...
The limitations of linear static analysis in the seismic design gave rise to non-linear static analysis or Pushover analysis. Pushover analy...
Solving the previous example from full iteration Now it’s time to solve the previous example from full iteration. For simplicity, interactio...
Findings and remarks 1. We can calculate the feasible crack angle ranges for each εx and vu/f’c combination. θ min corresponds to concrete c...
Optimum crack angle θ From the previous example, we can catch that there are some possible crack angle ranges for the given εx and vu/f’c. N...
What is Application Programming Interface (API)? The first thought that will come into your mind is exactly what is this API? and why a civi...
Longitudinal reinforcement Believe it or not, longitudinal forces are caused by shear, and we do need to design/check for these longitudinal...
