Rebar (a shortened form for reinforcing bar), also recognized as reinforcing steel/reinforcement steel, stands for a steel bar or mesh of steel wires to be applied like a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to improve the strength as well as retain the concrete in tension. Reinforcing bars are hot-rolled with various […]
This construction video provides demonstration on how to develop stirrups for RC Beam construction. In concrete beams, depth always differs. If the beam has greater depth, the shear strength will be increased. If the depth is inadequate, steel stirrups should be included to enhance the shear capacity of the beam. These stirrups generally belong to […]
1 bag of cement = .0347 cum 1 sqm = 10.76 sqft 1 inch = 25.4 mm Weight in Kilograms of Mild Steel (Sheet,grill etc.) = (Volume x Density of Mild Steel) = Length x Width x Thickness x 7850 kg/cum. Eg. 2.5 m x 1.25 m x .001 m x 7850 = 24.53 KGs……….. […]
Primary Beam: A horizontal beam connecting columns (simply supported or shear connected.) Function: It will transfer the load from secondary beam(if present) to the columns. Secondary Beam: A horizontal beam connecting primary beams (simply supported or shear connected.) Function: It will transfer the load to the primary beam and not directly connected to the columns. […]
Broadly classified as vertical loads, horizontal loads and longitudinal loads are the types of loads acting on structures for buildings and other structures. The vertical loads consist of dead load, live load and impact load. The horizontal loads comprises of wind load and earthquake load. The longitudinal loads i.e. tractive and braking forces are considered […]
Super Structure Building Construction All exposed corners of columns and beams shall have straight edges and shall be champhered if specified in architectural drawings. Concreting of columns , beams, facias, and thin sections of concrete members shall be carried out using approved plasticiser as per manufacturers specifications. Concrete pouring , testing, removal of formwork and […]
Civil Engineers generally act as experts by getting to be the employees or self employed entities for building counseling organizations. These advisors frequently give plan and investigation administrations. They plan and outline structures, spans, expressways, water treatment plants, harbors, railways, and airplane terminals. They additionally do natural reviews to anticipate water and soil defilement amid […]
Steel bridges may be classified into various types according to: the kind of traffic carried, the kind of main structural system, the position of the carriage way subjective to the main structural system Classification based on kind of traffic carried Based on traffic carried, bridges can be categorized into following types: Road bridges or Highway […]
Piles can be managed in various ways with the goal that they can bolster load forced on them. Vertical piles can be intended to convey vertical loads and in addition horizontal loads. In the event that required, vertical piles can be consolidated with raking piles to bolster horizontal and vertical strengths. Regularly, if a pile […]
Having the capacity for the completion of foundation design is a very specific function and typically is performed by a highly specialized structural engineer. It requires study and inspection of numerous parts, and it is the primary structure of any building or structure, since it is the integral foundation of it. Foundation Depths The necessary […]
