Types of Stirrups in Column
Different types of stirrups are designed for columns based on their varying cross-sections, the number of longitudinal reinforcement bars and the load carrying capacity. Stirrups in column construction are commonly known as vertical ties or transverse reinforcement. There are different ...
Reinforced Concrete Beam Detailing According to ACI Code
Clearly, the detailing of the reinforced concrete members is the key to good design and execution of work at the site.That is why poor detailing of reinforcement makes the structure undergo cracking, excessive deflection, or even collapse. Reinforcements resist tensile ...

Types of Drawings prepared by Structural Engineers There are four different types of drawing: Structural Drawings Reinforcement Drawings Standard Details Record Drawings 1. Structural Drawings Structural Drawings are used to progress the Architect’s concept by specifying the shape and position ...
Reinforcement Detailing of Concrete Slab Openings (Cutouts)
Details of openings in reinforced concrete slab are required to be provided in buildings to provide way for lifts, or cables, ducts or other instrument to pass through one floor to other floors, mainly in the case of industrial buildings.
Methods of Splicing Reinforced Bars
Most of the reinforced concrete structures won’t be provided with full length reinforced bars. The manufacture and transportation of long bars are difficult, which limit the use of full length reinforced bars. The method used to join the reinforcement bars, ...
Typical Joint Detailing of Steel Hollow Sections -Types of Joints
Typical Joint Detailing of Steel Hollow Sections Detailing of joints in steel structure is as much important as detailing of main structural members. Ultimately loads from structures are transferred to different structural members through joints. So, a good detailing of ...
Reinforcement Detailing in Beams According to IS 456-2000
Reinforcement detailing in beams 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 counter act tensile stresses in reinforced concrete beams. ...
