Retaining wall analysis – FEA and hand calculations
I have used the PlateMC spreadsheet described in the previous post to compare the results of a finite element analysis of a retaining wall with a similar analysis using the commercial package Strand7, and a simple hand calculation using Coulomb … Continue reading

The history of the theory of beam bending – Part 2
Before moving on from Galileo, Mariotte and Parent, let’s examine a peculiarity arising from the testing of their formulas. Jacques Heyman in “The Science of Structural Engineering” states: “… then the new calculation of bending strength [by Parent] gave a … Continue reading
