    Live Load vs Dead Load – The Difference

    ByN Lavanya

    When it comes to civil engineering, architecture, and construction safety, understanding live load vs. dead load is crucial. These two terms—frequently referred to as dead load vs. live load—form the basis of structural design and determine how buildings withstand various forces over their lifespans. A building or a structure is subjected to various forces that act on it throughout its lifetime. These forces cause stress, and deformations or displacements on the…

    Glass Fiber Composite

    ByLahari Ramya

    Composites are highly adaptable and can be made use in various applications. As they are robust, stiffer, lighter than metal and moldable to any shape. They can also be tailored to meet required properties of a particular application. Fiberglass or Glass fiber composites (GFC) are one kind of fiber reinforced composites material with low density,…

    Euler Buckle Theory – Column Buckling And Equations

    ByN Lavanya

    Euler’s column buckling theory is a fundamental concept in structural engineering that explores the stability and load-bearing capacity of slender columns. Also known as column buckling, refers to the failure of a structural element subjected to high compressive forces. Euler buckling is a fundamental concept in structural engineering, crucial for the design and analysis of slender…
