Hi, I am wondering if any one has a detailed example about the design of post-tension box girder. Thanks.

Thank you for your additional tips. Appreciated.

I believe that there should a textbook discuss such concepts which will be helpful for fresh graduates especially. Thank you for your recommendations. Yes exactly its Hibbler book.

Clear explanation. any reference you recommend that address these concepts in such details? as I could not find such information in the textbook I use.

Thank you all for your help.

Hi all, what is the type of joints B and C in the frame below? Is it rigid or semi-rigid? and why? whats is the interpretation for the rotation at these joints B and C? Whats is the difference between fixed joints at A&D and at joints B&C?

This is exactly what I understood from the statements. The internal deformation of a member or members in a structure exhibits a resistance against collapse and thus the structure is stable in which can stand the applied load (within the ultimate load). The course itself shown the following...

Hi The stability concept of a structure (frame/truss) is not very clear for me. I have found the following statement in one of the structural courses; What do you think about the above statement?

Hello again, Hope u did not forget the subject [bigsmile]. I have contacted one of the authors through the publisher. Please see attachment No 1 addressing the sign convention point. Attachment No. 1...

Yes it is a part of continuous beam. But even though shouldnt moment direction to be shown ? See the image below

So we can say the direction of Ma and Mb shown in my last sketch are correct. BUT still the signs of Va and w in my equation is different to the one shown in the book I use. In general, I used to consider different sign convention by other book for analysis, which is different to the one...

Following the above mentioned sign convention to get +ve M(AB) and -ve M(BA) as shown in the book ... I consider the assumption below; But the sign of loads Vab and w are opposite to what shown in the book itself.

if we follow the sign convention in point 1 as shown in the photo below the signs of M(AB) and M(BA) shown in the equation is correct if we consider M(AB) as CW and M(BA) as CCW. However what about the remaining loads; uniform load and V(AB)? I am wondering why the direction of moments...

Yes exactly. that what I notice the moment orientation is different from European to Americans. For Example in american book CW FEM consider as positive and CCW FEM as negative which is opposite to European. This is one of the reason that confused me as the structural analysis book that we...

Hi all As a matter of interest to learn how to design a reinforced concrete buildings, I have started reading a book named "Reinforced Concrete Design (7th edition) to EuroCode 2, by Mosley ... " My questions may seem to be obvious and easy, but it really confused me. While I am reading...
