Natural Occurrences and the manmade failures. Natural occurrences are by means of earthquakes‚ hurricanes‚ typhoons and the like. Climate and weather could also be categorized in Natural occurrences while damage done by a war‚ wrong choice of structural design‚ invalid computations of an engineer and wrong choice of materials are classified as manmade failures. It is feasible that human could be blame for the bridge failure because as a creator of the bridge they held the responsibility to their

Christian Ethics Project #3 1. The biblical basis of Jubilee 2000’s call for the immediate canceling of all debts of HIPC’s is found in Leviticus. This bible book states that “you shall not oppress one another.” Also in the book of Leviticus in the case of someone who becomes poor and in turn to sells his possessions then his relative may redeem the possessions he sold.

compressive strength. Due to such a low tensile capacity‚ flexural cracks develop at early stages of loading. In order to reduce or prevent such cracks from developing‚ a concentric or eccentric force is imposed in the longitudinal direction of the structural element. This force prevents the cracks from developing by eliminating or considerably reducing the tensile stresses at the critical midspan and support sections at service load‚ thereby raising the bending‚ shear‚ and torsional capacities of the

System Loading Tributary Areas Many floor systems consist of a reinforced concrete slab supported on a rectangular grid of beams. Such a grid of beams reduces the span of the slab and thus permits the designer to reduce the slab thickness. The distribution of floor loads on floor beams is based on the geometric configuration of the beams forming the grid. 1 3 Tributary area of columns A1‚ B2 and C1 shown shaded 2 Girders on all four sides Theoretical Tributary Areas
