The Structural Engineer, Volume 56, Issue 13, 1978
Stability functions for beam-column supported on continuous Winkler foundation or driven into elastic soil are developed and tabulated for different values of axial load parameters and soil stiffnesses. They enable the rapid prediction of the elastic critical load of structures with some members supported by or driven into soil, having constant modulus of subgrade reaction, using a hand-computing method. Applicable to bearing piles and other related structures with full or partial penetration with any ends restraints. Approximate formulae for the stability functions are derived. S.Z. Al-Sarraf
This paper compares the more commonly used design rules for compression laps in reinforced concrete columns with the results of research carried out recently at the University of Glasgow. P.D. Arthur and J.W. Cairns
This month's letters cover legislation for design checks, embodied carbon of modular construction approaches, and assessment of masonry buildings for earthquake resilience in New Zealand.
