In structural engineering, a diaphragm is a structural element that transmits lateral loads to the vertical resisting elements of a structure (such as shear ...

A development length can be defined as the amount of reinforcement(bar) length needed to be embedded or projected into the column to establish the desired ...

Deep beam is a beam having large depth/thickness ratio and shear span depth ratio less than 2.5for concentrated load and less than 5.0 for distributed load. ...

Coupling beams are beams typically added to a structure to improve its lateral force resistance. They bridge two separate, independent items together (like ...

A corbel is a very short structural cantilever member projecting from a wall or a column for the purpose of carrying loads. In reinforced concrete structures, ...

Concrete inground pools use a mixture of water, cement, sand, and coarse aggregate (usually stone or gravel) to create a pool shell. This is done by ...

A reinforced concrete column is a structural member designed to carry compressive loads, composed of concrete with an embedded steel frame to provide ...

Reinforced concrete beams are structural elements that designed to carry transverse external loads. The loads cause bending moment, shear forces and in some ...

In a composite construction, precast prestressed members are used in conjunction with the concrete cast in situ, so that the members behave as monolithic unit ...

The term column applies especially to a large round support (the shaft of the column) with a capital and a base or pedestal, which is made of stone, or ...
