truss is considered as equivalent to a beam with shear flexibility. the web thickness of the equivalent beam is calculated for various truss forms. the basic relations utilized in the analysis of structural systems composed of beams with shear flexibility, by means of the force method and the slope - deflection method, are presented. finally, the tables to be used in the analysis of contineous ...

Horticulture survey is a multi-purpose survey which is conducted ad hoc by Statistical Center of Iran (SCI). Availability of survey variables in the sampling frame suggests a multivariate stratification in each province based on its desired variables for acquiring a higher efficiency. There are several ways to stratify the sampling frame considering all stratification variables, such as using s...

Non-linear static analyses are the most effective way to predict force-displacement curves of masonry structures, due to the complex non linear behaviour of masonry panels which makes inadequate any kind of linear static analyses. Nevertheless, the choice of the appropriate model to use is a matter of paramount importance, as many aspects must be taken into account in order to reach a good appr...
