Concrete mix design is the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative amounts with the objective of producing a concrete of the required workability, strength and
In structural engineering we give names to different structural members based on their behavior under applied load. If the primary mode of transfer of load is by bending then the
Structural members are designed for loads that are expected to occur during the intended life of the structure. But sometimes the structure gets loaded beyond these loads and the structural
Side Face Reinforcement Concrete cracks when tensile strain exceeds .0001. We provide reinforcement wherever cracks are expected to occur. The intent of providing side face reinforcement is to control the
Even though both appear to be same physically the difference lies in their intended function. Ties The term tie is used to define the transverse reinforcement provided in column where
Beam and Column In structural engineering we give names to different structural members based on their behavior under applied load. For example: Say you have a rod of length 3
A continuous edge means that the slab can transfer the load to the adjacent slab through that edge. Consider the above L shape building with three slabs cast monolithically (this is important
To illustrate the importance of bending moment, let’s conduct a simple demonstration. Place a ruler flat on a desk and push it downwards. You will notice that as the length
