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.
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 members could fail. In such …
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 crack width in tensile zone …
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 the primary mode of load …
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 because, even if you have …
