Why a Continuous RCC beam should be designed as a Tee beam for Span moments and as a Rectangular Beam for Support Moments?
Madeh Izat Hamakareem
In the regions of a positive moment, a portion of the slab works with the beam (both under compression force), so that part should be included in the beam design. However, negative moments develop cracks at the upper part of the beam. So, the cracked part of the concrete section is neglected in theRead more

However, negative moments develop cracks at the upper part of the beam. So, the cracked part of the concrete section is neglected in the design, and the lower portion is in compression which is rectangular.

Madeh Izat Hamakareem
Geogrids are used to reinforce soil to increase its tensile strength, and hence transfer forces to larger areas of the soil. The geogrid application are retaining walls, steepened slopes, bridge abutments, embankments, and subbase below roads. To read more bout Geogrids- Types, Functions, ApplicatioRead more

Madeh Izat Hamakareem
Any type of cement can be used as long as the design and durability requirements of the concrete used to construct the pile are met. For instance, if the sulfate attack is expected, it is desirable to select sulfate resistance cement because it produces concrete that withstand sulfate attack. As a rRead more
