Discusses the 'hot-spot' method for evaluating fatigue in welded joints and the influence of weld type, shape, length, and thickness on fatigue resistance.
Explores fracture mechanics, fatigue testing, and material toughness, emphasizing real-world applications and the importance of understanding critical stress intensity factors.
Explores fire safety principles in construction, including preventive measures, extinguishing concepts, and innovative methods for enhancing fire resistance.
Explores building structural systems with cores and rigid frames, discussing optimal material use, core forces, dynamic effects control, and cost breakdown.
