In a historical survey this video shows the developments of movable bridge technology, always in relationship to the equilibrium between the movable deck and the counterweight. Highlights the four modern...
Surveys the problems encountered in designing a plate girder bridge in steel. Discusses basic concepts and considers the strength of materials, stability, fatigue and additional stresses.
An overview of the use of steel in both old and modern buildings in France.
Discusses the mechanical properties of a cross-section. In laboratory tests the differences between stocky and slender columns, between their plastic and elastic behaviour, as well as the effect of...
Shows details of the bending and twisting of a beam, demonstrating that a stocky beam collapses due to plasticity, while a slender beam collapses due to lateral torsional buckling. Presents formulae...
Shows the uses of corrugated steel sheets for wall claddings in many situations, forms and colours.
Shows the building of an office and a warehouse in steel. The elements are prefabricated in order to accelerate the construction time. Looks specifically at various technical details, giving an idea of the...
Shows examples of beam and plate buckling. Discusses and demonstrates the reduction of stiffness due to buckling, the effective width concept, the effect of imperfections, tension field theory, buckling due...
Shows fire tests in an American car park, designed to show the effects of fire on exposed steel. With the aid of thermocouples on the girders, the temperature is measured and the resulting elongation is shown.
