The materials used for the structural system of high-rise buildings are reinforced concrete and steel. Most American style skyscrapers have a [...]

The stepwise procedure for beam design is given here.
1. Beam sections should be designed for:

Moment values at the column face (not the value at centre line as per analysis)
Shear values at distance of ‘d’ from the column face. (not the value at centre line [...]

While considering restoration work, it is important to realise that even fine cracks in load bearing members, which are un-reinforced, like masonry and plain concrete reduce their resistance very largely. Therefore all cracks must be located and marked carefully and the critical ones fully repaired either by injecting strong cement or chemical grout or by [...]

The deterioration of RCC is basically related to migration of aggressive chemicals through interconnected porosity leading to its cracking and corrosion of reinforcement.No apparent damage will be observed during the gradual loss of water tightness in stage I. Damage occurs slowly in the initial stages and the rate of damage gets accelerated due to propagation [...]
