The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...
A load-bearing wall works to support the weight of the structure, while a non load-bearing wall is simply a cosmetic addition. This means that you can remove a non load-bearing wall without any ...
When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...
