Structural Dynamics Concepts
Depending on the nature of the impact on the structure, loads are divided into static and dynamic. Loads are considered static if they change very slowly (with an infinitely small increment in time), without jolts or impacts. Dynamic loads are those that can change their magnitude, direction or position in relatively short periods of time. […]

Earthquakes
What is an Earthquake? An earthquake is the vibration, produced by a rapid release of seismic earth.
SAP2000 Graphic interface
In this class, we will explore the SAP2000 software, start it, observe how it loads, examine its interface after loading, and cover a few more aspects. Loading Screen: This is how the SAP2000 looks while it’s loading: The first window that appears after loading: To begin, click on ‘New Model’ from the Toolbar or Menu […]
Introduction to SAP2000
SAP2000: Introduction SAP2000 is a civil engineering software used for structural analysis and design. In structural analysis and design of civil engineering projects, we analyze structures for their strength under various load cases and design them according to strength requirements. Structural analysis of any civil structure is based on the principles of mechanics, which are […]
One common assumption when we use the Bernoulli equation is that the velocity at the surface of a large tank or reservoir is zero. In reality, the water level would be going down over time so there probably is a velocity at the water surface. Let’s investigate the assumption that v1=0 using the below open tank being drained by a pipe.

A service main (water pipe) at the end of a street decreases in diameter from 8 inches to 4 inches. The flowrate is 5 ft3/s and the pressure at point 1 is 50 psi. Neglect losses. a. Find the velocity at point 2 in ft/s. b. Calculate the pressure at point 2 in psi. c. Compare the pressure in the wider pipe with the pressure in the narrow pipe. Is it what you would expect?(1)8″-diameter4″-diameter(2)10 ft
