History of Structural EngineeringWhy history is important?
One reason why history is important it that the past has value to our society.
History is the narrative of mankind.
History when presented properly lends itself to critical analysis.

History of Structural EngineeringArch structures were discovered prior to Roman era.
Roman Empire used arches extensively in construction.Stone arches had span of 100 ft and more

The Colosseum is one of Rome's most distinctive landmarks. Construction of this famous amphitheatre began in 72 AD.
History of Structural EngineeringFrom A.D. 500 to A.D.1500, structures that were built continued to employ the stone arch as the major structural forms.Gothic CathedralsRoof was supported by flying buttresses

known as Renaissance.Galileo (1564-1642)

History of Structural EngineeringModern Era
Introduction of IronIndustrial Revolution
First major structure built or iron was Severn River Bridge Coalbrookdale.
Suspension bridgesThomas Telford’s Bridge over Menai
Straits in Wales, Brunel’s Clifton Bridge in Bristol, Finley’s Bridge over Merrimack River in
Newburyport, Massachusetts.

Thomas Telford built the suspension bridge in the middle in 1826. They had to destroy some of the castle to anchor it to the rock.
22
Isambard Kingdom Brunel designs the Clifton Suspension Bridge at Bristol. Two hundred feet above the River Avon, the bridge is 700 feet long.

CablesCables stretch well and are light, so they
are useful in large structures. They only take tension stresses.
Cables can be crisscrossed and combined with surface materials to achieve light and large structures.
Examples of this technique are Suncoast Dome and Georgia Dome in the United States
26
CablesGrace Memorial Bridge over the Cooper River
Between Charleston, South Carolina (USA) and Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, stands the Grace Memorial Bridge.
Completed in 1929, the cantilever steel structure has a main span of 1050 ft., or 320 m. and a total length of 3.6 miles or 5.79 Kilometers.
A parallel bridge, with a similar design but a shorter main span, was built in 1966. This allowed the old bridge to be converted to one-way traffic.

ArchesAn arch is a curved structure capable of
spanning a space while supporting significant weight (e.g. a doorway in a stone wall).
The arch is significant because, in theory at least, it provides a structure which eliminates tensile stresses in spanning an open space.
All the forces are resolved into compressive stresses.

TrussIn architecture and structural engineering, a
truss is a structure comprising one or more triangular units constructed with straight slender members whose ends are connected at joints.
A plane truss is one where all the members and joints lie within a 2-dimensional plane, while a space truss has members and joints extending into 3 dimensions.
37
TrussAll members are assumed in axial compression or tension.
Members are joined with the help of frictionless pins.
Loads are applied at joints only.

Types of Trusses
Common Truss
It is characterized by its triangular
shape.
It is most often used for roof construction.
Flat Truss
It gets its name from its parallel top and bottom chords.
It is often used for floor construction.
Truncated Truss
A combination of the two is a
truncated truss.
It is used in hip roof construction.

A Vierendeel bridge; note the lack of diagonal elements in the primary structure and the way bending loads are carried between
elements
BeamsA beam is a structural element that
carries load primarily in bending (flexure).
Beams generally carry vertical gravitational forces but can also be used to carry horizontal loads (i.e. loads due to an earthquake or wind).
The loads carried by a beam are transferred to columns, walls, or girders, which then transfer the force to adjacent structural compression members.
42
BeamsIt requires only vertical supports at ends generally.
It is a compact structure.It’s disadvantage is that it sometimes uses materials less economically than other structural systems.
43
MembranesThin sheets of
material
Resist applied loads by tension.
Examples are tents, sails, balloons etc
47
ShellsShell is rigid surface
that transfers loads in two directions.
The primary difference between a plate and a shell is that the shell has curvature whereas the plate does not.
