Bar Bending Schedule for Reinforced Concrete Beam
Bar bending schedule provides the reinforcement calculation for reinforced concrete beam. It provides details of reinforcement cutting length, type of bends and bend length. We will take one example for reinforcement quantity calculations for a concrete beam. Bar Bending Schedule ...
Quantity and Rate Analysis for Reinforced Concrete Construction
Today we will see how to prepare rate analysis for Reinforced Concrete (RCC) work. First step to rate analysis is the estimation of labour, materials, equipments and miscellaneous items for particular quantity of reinforced concrete. The second step is to ...
Seismic Design of Multi-Storied RCC Buildings
Reinforced concrete multi-storied buildings are very complex to model as structural systems for analysis. Usually, they are modeled as two-dimensional or three-dimensional frame systems using finite beam elements. For evaluating stiffness matrix of beam elements, the properties required are – ...
