The paper deals with the lateral buckling problem of a freely supported wooden strip with a constant narrow cross section, loaded with a local force in the middle of the span. A differential equation is given for cases when the force is applied out of the gravity section center. Strain-energy method was used in the study of beam lateral buckling. In the case when the load is applied in the center of gravity, problem comes down to a generalized characteristic equation. The correlation between the magnitude of the critical force and the application point of the load was obtained. The linear approximating function was identified for the indicated dependence. The obtained results are compared with an analytical solution using the Bessel functions and a numerical iterative method.

The problem of lateral buckling of a cantilever strip with a constant narrow cross section loaded with a concentrated force at the end of the span is considered. In the study of lateral buckling of beam energy method was used. For the case of load application in the center of gravity, the problem is reduced to a generalized secular equation. The relationship between the magnitude of the critical force and the position of the point of application of the load. A comparison of the results obtained by the authors with an analytical solution using infinite series and a numerical iterative method is shown.

The angular stiffness of a multiple looped span, subject to rotation about a vertical axis (torsion) and also to rotation about a horizontal or radial axis (mesio-distal tilt), have been derived using the complementary (strain) energy method. Experimental measurements on enlarged models were in good agreement with the values calculated from the theoretical relationships obtained. The variations in angular stiffness resulting from changes in the loop height, width, and position of clinical sized loops are discussed.

Assessing the structural health state of urban infrastructure is crucial in terms of infrastructure sustainability. This chapter uses dynamic computer simulation techniques to apply a procedure using vibration-based methods for damage assessment in multiple-girder composite bridges. In addition to changes in natural frequencies, this multi-criteria procedure incorporates two methods, namely, the modal flexibility and the modal strain energy method. Using the numerically simulated modal data obtained through finite element analysis software, algorithms based on modal flexibility and modal strain energy change, before and after damage, are obtained and used as the indices for the assessment of structural health state. The feasibility and capability of the approach is demonstrated through numerical studies of a proposed structure with six damage scenarios. It is concluded that the modal strain energy method is capable of application to multiple-girder composite bridges, as evidenced through the example treated in this chapter.
