Design procedure for column with Biaxial moments
A column is a special case of a compression member that is vertical. A reinforced concrete column is basically a vertical structural member, which helps to transfer the load from top to bottom in a …
Which material is widely used for construction ?
There are plenty of options which we can use as a construction material available in the industry. An efficient engineer should select the material as per the project requirement, such that it should be efficient …
Longitudinal bars detailing of a column section
Longitudinal reinforcement is provided in column to carry thr applied axial load and bending moment along with concrete. Minimum longitudinal reinforcement It should be at least 0.8 percent of the gross cross sectional area required. …
Detailing specification for a beam section
A beam is a structural element that is capable of withstanding load primarily by resisting against bending. We design beams by limit state method as per IS 456: 2000. We should consider different detailing specifications …
Earthquake considerations for design of column sections
It is very important to consider the effect of earthquake in proportioning of columns and their reinforcement. The design is based on IS: 13920:1993. This code is applicable to members that have factored axial stress …
What is stress??
Definition of stress Before defining stress at a point we must set the stage for the definition. Consider we have a deformable body, and this body bis in static equilibrium condition as shown in Fig …
What is creep of concrete ?
Creep of concrete is a kind of deformation which occurs because of sustained loading. The gradual increase in strain, without increase in stress, with the time is due to creep. From this explanation it can …
What is Development Length | Calculation as per IS:456
To give you an idea of the significance of development length we will do a simple demonstration. Ask your friend to hold a pen or pencil in closed fist and you try to pull that …
What is lean concrete ?
Lean concrete is a type of concrete in which the amount of cement is less , i.e less than 10 % of the total volume of concrete. In this type of concrete the aggregate to …
What is cement ?
Cement is a binder material, and an important ingredient in concrete. In concrete cement along with water adheres to other materials and helps to hold them together. Cement used in construction are often lime or …
