|
|
| EAVES |
| Junction of wall and roof. |
|
| EDGE DISTANCE |
| Distance from centre of fastener hole to the nearest edge of an element. |
|
| ELEMENT |
| Part of a cross section forming a distinct part of the whole. (Compression element, tension element outstand.). |
|
| EFFECTIVE LENGTH |
| Distance between points of effective restraint on a member multiplied by a factor to take account of the end conditions. |
|
| ELASTIC DESIGN |
| A design method that assumes that no permanent deformation remains after removal of the loads; no redistribution of moments would occur due to plastic rotation of the section. |
|
| EMPIRICAL METHOD |
| Simplified method of design justified by experience or testing. |
|
| ENCASTRE |
| Support fixings to beams that prevent end rotations under load (built-in fixed end). |
|
| END DISTANCE |
| Distance from the centre of a fastener hole to the edge of an element parallel to the direction in which the fastener bears. |
|
| END PLATE |
| Plate welded to the end of a beam perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam, the width of plate parallel to the width of flange. |
|
| ERECTION |
| The placing in position and fixing of fabricated members on site to form the building framework. |
|
| EXPANSION |
| Increase in unit length per-degree of rise in temperature. |
|
| EXPOSED |
| Unclad steel frame work, subjected to atmospheric conditions. |
