In any case the maximum stress in a structure should be kept below the elastic limit of the material otherwise a permanent set will result when the loads are applied and then removed. Two design approaches are possible. The first, known as elastic design, uses either the yield stress (for ...

the journal connects materials science, engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, and emerging fields like Artificial Intelligence and advanced data science. We encourage submissions that offer ground-breaking insights into the multi-scale architecture and function of materials, showcase technological advancem...
\IMinimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures\N gives the latest consensus requirements for dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, ice, and earthquake loads, as well as their combinations, which are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. This Standard, ...
structure, atomic bonding, and the size and mass of the constituent molecules/atoms, in addition to the presence of stochastic microscopic defects. As a result, there is little room to tailor these materials’ responses to loads besides altering the intrinsic microstructure of the base materials. ...
The allowable unfactored loads based on each design method for different types of structural members are compared and shown in graphical forms. For structural members with one type of loading, the dead-to-live load ratio contributes to the difference between the two allowable loads. For members ...
Focusing mainly on interior systems, the distinctions between solid and hollow construction largely stem from the availability of materials and workforce preferences. For example, in the United States and Japan, stud walls, bothwoodandmetal, arefrequently used for partitioning. Conversely,brickremains th...
Submission deadline:01 March 2025 12 April 2024 Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Material Innovations The introduction and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within materials discovery, development, and deployment have opened new frontiers in modeling, measuring, and mastering materials. This Special...
Concrete does not have a high tensile strength, usually in the order of 10% of its compressive strength, and therefore reinforcement is added to the tensile zones to resist the applied loads and internal stresses. Steel and concrete have different elastic moduli and tensile strengths, and as a...
On occasion, permanent equipment such as large air conditioners can be considered dead loads. These are loads that will be acting upon the structure throughout its life. Live loads on the other hand are transient items such as furniture, people, and snow. The anticipated weight of live loads...
