    Walls, beams, columns, foundations etc can be called as primary or main load bearing components of a concrete building.

    Examples of secondary load bearing structures would be the lintels in masonry walls, the shelf angles that support finishes when they span over a window or other opening and there are other odd and ends that provide support or stabilization such as cross bracing in steel bar joist or structural elements used during the construction of the building.

    Dear students,

    To understand this question deeply first we have to understand what exactly is the bridge cranes.

    Bridge crane is nothing but the overhead crane with consists of parallel runways with a travelling bridge spanning the gap.

    Use of bridge crane: 

    • lift and move heavy loads from one place to another which increases space safety and efficiency.
    • It also used in the refinement of Steel, Copper and Aluminium.

    Static effects:

    • considered while designing.

    Dynamic effects:

    • Generally neglected because of their operation at low speed.
    • Dynamic behaviour of a megastructure as a movable flexible structure is different than of a smaller crane.
    • Vibration is a serious problem.
    • Extra fatigue damage can occur.

    Yes, it is safe not to build a column at an intersection of two beams subjected that all the loads are considered, calculated, and transferred via columns placed at the end of the beams.

    The following steps should be considered when designing a truss:

    1. Selection of type and layout of the structure.
    2. Determination of loads on the structure.
    3. Evaluate internal forces and moments in the structural components.
    4. Selection of material and proportioning of members and connections for safety and economy.
    5. Checking the performance of the structure under service conditions, and finally perform the final review.

When do we decide that pile can now be terminated, of course there is depth given in the structural details but along with that there are some criteria to measure on-site if it is not fulfilled than you have to ...

    Pile penetration ratio and chisel energy level are two methods that are used to decide on the termination of pile depth in the construction site: 1. Pile Penetration Ratio (PPR) for Rotary Piling Equation for the determination of pile termination point in construction site: PPR=(2⋅π⋅N⋅T⋅t)/(A⋅d)    Read more

    Pile penetration ratio and chisel energy level are two methods that are used to decide on the termination of pile depth in the construction site:

    1. Pile Penetration Ratio (PPR) for Rotary Piling

    Equation for the determination of pile termination point in construction site:

    PPR=(2⋅π⋅N⋅T⋅t)/(A⋅d)                           Equation 1

    PPR: Pile penetration ratio, kN m/m^2/ cm

    N: RPM

    T: Torque corresponding to RPM, kN.m

    t: Time duration in minutes, normally 10 min

    A: Pile cross-section area, m^2

    D: Pile penetration, cm

    2. Chiseling Energy Concept

    Use the following expression to estimate the response of founding rock strata in terms of Energy Level:

    E=(W⋅h⋅n⋅N)/(A⋅d)                         Equation 2

    Where:

    E: Chisel energy level, kN.m/m^2/cm

    W: Weight of chisel, kN

    h: Fall of the chisel in meters given in every blow (m)

    n: Reduction factor, 0.8–1.0 based on likely drag on chisel due to slurry, submerged weight of chisel in high groundwater, winch rope friction, and type of muck (clayey or sandy), based on rock type.

    N: No. of blows in the stipulated duration, usually half an hour

    A: Nominal pile cross-sectional area, m^2

    D: Penetration into the rock strata in that stipulated duration, cm

    It depends on the structural member. For example, The American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-19) specifies minimum concrete strength for precast pile as 28MPa. The code also provides minimum strength for other structural members. You can also visit: https://theconstructor.org/concrete/design-requiremeRead more
