P-delta analysis is a structural analysis technique that considers the second-order effects caused by deformation in structures subjected to lateral loads like wind or earthquakes. In this article, we’ll explore how P-delta analysis works and why it’s important for the design of tall or flexible structures. P-delta analysis accounts for the effect of vertical loads on the stiffness and internal forces of a structure, which in turn influences its response to lateral loads. This analysis technique is used to modify the stiffness matrix by using the structure’s deformed shape and…

Muller Breslau Principle
Who is Muller Breslau? The real and full name of Muller Breslau is “Heinrich Franz Bernhard Muller” and he was born in a city name Breslau. He was a German civil engineer and also a high school teacher. He was known as “Muller Breslau” (it means Muller from Breslau) to distinguish himself from other people with similar name. He provided significant contribution to the theory of beam and frame in structural analysis. Muller Breslau Principle: It states that, if an internal stress component or reaction is considered to act through…
