Bracing systems - SteelConstruction.info

A bracing system is a secondary but essential part of a bridge structure. A bracing system serves to stabilize the main girders during construction, to contribute to the distribution of load effects and to provide restraint to compression flanges or chords where they would otherwise be free to buckle laterally.This article provides guidance on the design of bracing systems; additional …

Chapter 5 Footing Design - Engineering

4 1. Determine the total vertical load, P. 2. Determine the lateral and overturning loads. 3. Calculate the total overturning moment M, measured at the bottom of the footing. 4. Determine whether P/A exceeds M/S.This can be done by calculating and comparing P/A and M/S or is typically completed by calculating the eccentricity, which equals M divided by P.

FOUNDATIONS FOR WIND TURBINES

"Foundation designs are integrated into the type certification for some turbines. Where this is the case, the foundation design must be evaluated for the external conditions for which it is intended. Poor geotechnical investigation and foundation design have led to delays and cost overruns at European wind farms (Gerdes et al. 2006)."

CNC Vertical Turning Centers - Kent CNC

Vertical turning centers or vertical turning lathes let gravity reinforce the workpiece's stability. The weight of the workpiece goes straight down into the machine's foundation to minimize inaccuracies. The vertical turning orientation reduces clamping force needed for workpiece holding. This also allows for greater workpiece weight capacity.
