Composite Multi-Story Rigid Frames Under Gravity and Lateral Loads.
… bent with composite girders when horizontal loads produce the maximum forces for which the girders must be designed. Using an asymmetrical rigid frame with column spacings of 22' and 28', it was found that a decrease in frame weight of slightly greater than 10 per cent could be realized if …

A bibliography concerned with the effect of floor slabs, with and without spandels, on the moment in columns due to vertical or lateral loads
The Engineering Index was the primary reference for the articles listed in this bibliography. There are a few articles included which have been taken from various engineering experiment station bulletins. In order to determine the extent of coverage of the Engineering Index, several of the articles …

Structural Behavior of the Maxilla Under Lateral Load Application
… maxilla to resist separation when subjected to lateral loads. It was hoped that a structural center of resistance for the maxilla could be determined. Strain gauges were placed in dry skulls and lateral loads were applied in five different anterior-posterior positions. The results show a highly …

Investigation of the Resistance of Pile Caps to Lateral Loading
… be expected to provide significant resistance to lateral loads. However, practical procedures for computing the resistance of pile caps to lateral loads have not been developed, and, for this reason, cap resistance is usually ignored. Neglecting cap resistance results in estimates of pile group …
