fatigue failure | What and how to overcome it
Fatigue fractures are a common problem for civil engineers. They occur when a structural element is subjected to repeated stresses over time, resulting in degradation of the material and...

6 Causes of Beam Failure – A Guide for Designers
Beam failure can occur through bending, torsion, and shear if design loads are exceeded in both failure modes. Depending on the type of load that can be applied to the...

Foundation failure (a detailed study)
A failure in the foundation leads to the failure of the structure built on it. As we always discuss, the foundation must be strong enough to withstand the applied loads....
