Stresses in beam due to bending action
Introduction Stresses in beam is very important topic. Every engineering graduates need to understand this phenomenon. Before understanding this we need to discuss few simple concepts. You might have gone
Bending Moment
RCC Beam Design-Basics and Design Philosophy
In this and the following few posts I will be discussing about the design of RCC beam. Definition of a Beam A beam is a structural element that is capable
Under-reinforced v/s Over-reinforced
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
How are column ties different from beam stirrups?
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
What is the difference between a beam and a column?
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
What is Bending Moment? Understanding with Examples and Images
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
