What is STAAD Pro? STAAD Pro stands for Structural Analysis And Designing Program. STAAD Pro software is widely used in analyzing and designing structures – buildings, bridges, towers, transportation, industrial and utility structures. Designs can involve building structures including culverts, petrochemical […]
In general, plain concrete is quite strong in compression, however, it is very weak in tension. Plain concrete takes about only 10% tensile load. Therefore, it is mandatory to enforce some other material so that it can take the tensile
Structures are designed to withstand various types of loads. The various types of loads expected on a structure are as follows: Dead loads Live loads or imposed loads Wind loads Snow loads Earthquake loads. Dead Loads Dead loads are due
Plain Cement Concrete (P.C.C) has very low tensile strength. To improve the tensile strength of concrete, some sort of reinforcement is needed which can take up the tensile stresses developed in the structure. The most common type of reinforcement is
The extra top & extra bottom reinforcements are provided as per the required area of the reinforcement of the beam as per design. In general, in continuous frames beams, undergo hogging moments at the top face (max. in L/4 region
Introduction Before TMT bars and HYSD bars, mild Steel bars were earlier used for small-scale construction. They were not strong, low tensile strength or even bendability. To correct these, HYSD or High yielding strength deformed bars were introduced for reinforcing
Loads In Buildings: In the design of any RCC structure, calculation of the upcoming load is the first and foremost step. The design load is considered for its design life. In this post, I will illustrate the basics of the
Introduction: Development length is the extra length of a bar provided beyond the required section in order to ensure the following:- To develop a safe bond between the bar surface& the concrete so that no failure due to slippage of
