Hook’s Law Statement: Stress is directly proportional to the strain until load on material is within its elastic limit. Mathematically, Stress ∞ Strain Stress = A constant x strain Constant is represented by E & is known as Young’s Modulus. …
Direct Strain Direct strain is that produce because of the action of direct stresses. These strains are also named as simple strains. Direct strains are further categorized in to two sub types. Tensile Strain: Compressive Strain: Tensile Strain Tensile strain …
Tensile Stress A body is facing tensile stress when two equal and opposite tensile forces try to stretch the body or induce tension in the body. This elongate the body. Tensile stress is denoted by ft, σ (sigma) or pt Tensile …
Wall footing design is carried out with some assumptions that should be considered while designing. The first assumption is to consider that soil pressure is distributed linearly throughout. This can only be achieved, when resultant of soil pressure coincides with …
Combined Footing Problem Statement Design a rectangular combined footing to support two columns shown above. The edge column on the left has a section of 16” x 16” and carries dead & live load of 175 kips & 110 kips …
