stress and strain

stress and strain are two basic concepts in civil engineering.  Stress is simply the amount of force divided by the cross section on which the force is applied. Normal Stress , Shear Stress If the load is normal to the cross section we call this ratio normal stress. And if the force is applied alongside […]

Nailing and Anchorage

Nailing Vs Anchorage: Nailing and anchorage are both soil stabilization methods with a few differences. The difference between these two terms is that in anchorage method we apply a pre-stress to create a tension. This way the anchorage system become more resistant against large deformations. On the other hand, soil nailing  is  a  common practice  […]
