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, ...
Balanced, Under-Reinforced and Over-Reinforced Beam Sections
Reinforced concrete beams are classified as balanced, under-reinforced and over-reinforced based on its reinforcement percentage. Details of these beam sections are discussed.
Types of Walls used in Building Construction
Types of Walls Following are various types of walls used in building construction: 1. Load Bearing Wall It carries loads imposed on it from beams and slabs above including its own weight and transfer it to the foundation. These walls ...
DESIGN METHODS OF MASONRY STRUCTURES
Masonry structures have been and continue to be designed based on the allowable stress design method (also called service load method or working stress design). In this method, a structure is proportioned (designed) to resist code-specified service loads, which are ...
DESIGN STEPS OF RCC MEMBER FOR SHEAR AND TORSION
Design of a reinforced concrete section for shear is carried on in the following steps: (a) Determine nominal shear stress of concrete by using following formula: (b) Determine design shear strength of concrete, (Table 1 below). Table-1: Design Shear Strength ...
LOAD & RESISTANCE FACTOR DESIGN (LRFD)
Load and Resistance Factor Design Format Of the many multiple safety factor formats in vogue, perhaps the simplest to understand is the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) format, which is adopted by the ACI Code [Ref. 3.5, 3.8, 3.9]. ...
