Bent (structural)

Traditional timber frame bents were one component of a braced frame in timber framing. Historically, mortise and tenon joints were used to joint bents to posts and beams due to the unavailability of nails. Bents are generally pre-assembled, either at the timber framing company''s shop or at the construction site. After the basic post and beam structure of the frame has been set in place, the bents are then lifted and simply lowered into place one by one by the crane. Next, the workers bring in additional members,

Bridge Mechanics (BIRM)

Bending forces in bridge members are caused when a load is applied perpendicular to the longitudinal or neutral axis. A moment is commonly developed by the perpendicular loading which causes a
