Abstract: Long-span bridges are the lifeline throats of urban transportation network. Deflection (i.e., deformation) behavior of long-span bridges is complex. It can be found from long-term monitoring ...

For this project, I decided to pay tribute to my previous career path of structural engineering. Part of the fundamentals of structural analysis include calculating the shear, moment, and deflection ...

Preventing deflection of tall structure: Let us consider an example of a simple two dimensional structure. Two columns, six floors and pin joints connecting them. When we apply a wind load, we can see ...
