CFRP LAMINATES FOR SHEAR STRENGTHENING OF CONCRETE BEAMS

The use of Near Surface mounted Reinforcement for concrete structures are not a new invention. A type of NSMR has been used since the 1940s, where steel reinforcement is placed in slots in the concrete cover or in addition concrete... (Continue reading)

BEAM CHARACTERISTICS

There are a number of properties of a beam that an Engineer should be aware of as they dictate beam behaviour when subject to a load and ultimately represent possible areas or mechanisms for failure. The main ones being: Second moment... (Continue reading)

Detailing of Beams

Written on 6 Oct, 2009 at 11:36 in Beam Design, Structural | viewed 175 views times and users have made 0 comments so far

Beam carries transverse external loads that cause bending moment, shear forces and in some cases torsion Concrete is strong in compression and very weak in tension. Steel reinforcement is used to take up tensile stresses in reinforced concrete beams. Mild... (Continue reading)

Biaxial Bending and Torsion of Steel Equal Angle Section Beams

Written on 10 Apr, 2009 at 19:31 in Beam Design, Structural | viewed 188 views times and users have made 0 comments so far

Although steel single angle sections are commonly used as beams to support distributed loads which cause biaxial bending and torsion, their behaviour may be extremely complicated, and the accurate prediction of their strengths very difficult. Further, many design codes do... (Continue reading)
