Prying action is when the deformation of a connecting element under a tensile force increases the tensile force in the bolt.

Concrete beams are essential components in construction, providing crucial support and structural integrity to buildings and infrastructure.

Shear and moment diagrams are foundational tools used to determine the internal forces within beams.

Composite beams (steel beams with an integrated concrete deck) are used extensively in modern construction.

In structural engineering, single angles are widely used as members in various steel applications.

When designing steel structures, engineers must consider various factors to ensure their stability and structural integrity.
