Design is the final step in the whole engineering process. A good design satisfies the requirements of strength and serviceability while also remaining economic to construct.
When we design an axially loaded column, it is very important to consider some moments along with the axial load. As in the practical scenarios it is not possible to neglect the moment completely. According to IS 456:2000, in order to ensure the safety of column we should consider a minimum value of eccentricity. Also …

Column is basically a vertical structure, which helps to transfer the load from top to bottom in a framed structure. Specifically columns transfer the compressive load from top floors, ceiling or beam to the foundation or to the beams. Braced column are the structural component, provided so as to resist the lateral forces. Bracing prevents …

Column is basically a vertical structure, which helps to transfer the load from top to bottom in a framed structure. Specifically columns transfer the compressive load from top floors, ceiling or beam to the foundation or to the beams. The cross section of the column is mostly rectangular , square or circular. Sometimes we modify …

Slenderness ratio is a geometrical parameter, defined for a compression member (column). It is the ratio of effective length and lateral dimension of the compression member. It is also a measure of the structural vulnerability to the failure of the structure. . Generally we design the columns to resist the axial compression load. Sometimes a …

Beam is one of the integral part of any structure. It is very important to check the safety of beam not only before construction but even after the construction stage. We ensure the safety of beam in the design phase by considering all the codal provisions. IS 456 : 2000 is the Indian standard code …

When we start with the design of a structure. It is very important to consider the structures safety and serviceability. As per IS 456: 2000, the structure should be capable to resist all the different forces that comes over the complete life. The estimation of force is done by considering different load combination which is …

Let us consider an example where a beam is initially in unstressed position. Now when a uniform bending moment is applied along the length of beam , then the beam will bend. When the beam bends the top surface of the beam is in tension and the bottom surface is in compression. So it is …

Before moving into the design procedure of a R.C.C beams you should be aware about the different types of beams available. There are basically seven types of beam depending upon the support and geometry of the beam section, they are: Simply supported beam Fixed beam Overhanging beam Double over hanging beam Continuous beams Cantilever beams …

To start the design of doubly reinforced beam with you should have an idea about doubly reinforced section. As the name implies doubly reinforced beams means we are providing the reinforcement in both the zones. In the case of a beam the zone is basically compression and tension zone.
