One of the major challenges confronting the civil engineering community today is extending the service life of degraded steel structures. Replacement of degraded structures is often not feasible, and ...

The deflection of a concrete beam was measured using various sensors, and the resulting data were used in this article to assess the machine learning models. Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random ...

In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings ...

Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...
