membrane – The outer membrane of a tent structure covers the frame and carries the load primarily through tension (although it does carry compression also). The function of the membrane is to protect the interior from the outside conditions and to transfer the loads to the framework. 2.) The frame – The frame is what the thin outer membrane is attached to. The type of frame construction used varies between the different types of tents. The frame can consist of rigid longitudinal poles which transfer

shear walls and inspectors can recognize the errors untrained contractors make. GETTING THE BIG PICTURE WHAT IS A SHEAR WALL? Shear walls are vertical elements of the horizontal force resisting system. They are typically wood frame stud walls covered with a structural sheathing material like plywood. When the sheathing is properly fastened to the stud wall framing‚ the shear wall can resist forces directed along the length of the wall. When shear walls are designed and constructed properly‚ they

Heavy construction equipment was located on the one of the weakest points in the structure. | URS did not evaluate fatigue of structural members and did not analyze the redundancy issues related to the structure. URS did not put warning sighs related to the bridge structure. Nobody noticed the inadequate gusset plates during an inspection or while recalculating loads for planned

RETROFITTING AND REHABILITATION OF CIVIL ENGINEERING STRUCTURES WHAT IS THE CONCEPT OF REPAIRING? • Once problems are clearly identified and objectives have been set‚ a timetable for repair is established in close consultation with the property owner that is in keeping with the findings of the evaluation. • First and foremost‚ the contractor must comply with the drawing details and specifications. To further ensure the durability of the repair‚ repair procedures and selection

en we put the members together toform a simple truss . At this point I had almost decided that structuralengineering was the career for me . From there the class just took off: Wewent on to frames‚ distributed loads‚ considered friction; basically we wereincorporating real world considerations into structural members . I loved thepractical‚ problem solving aspects of the field . At UC my classes were even more advanced . In my analysis and designclasses‚ I especially enjoyed studying steel desi
