An engineer needs to carry this calculation out for every column and every floor, summing the results at the end to arrive at a cumulative load for a ...

Post-tensioned concrete means that the concrete is poured and then the tension is applied-but it is still stressed before the loads are applied so it is still ...

Flat slab is a reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete columns without the use of beams. Flat slab is defined as one sided or two-sided ...

Ribbed slabs are slabs cast integrally with a series of closely spaced joists which in turn are supported by a set of beams. The main advantage of ribbed ...

A Ribbed Slab gives considerable extra strength in one direction while a waffle slab gives added strength in both directions. And this is possible ...

The one-way slab is a slab, which is supported by parallel walls or beams, and whose length to breadth ratio is equal to or greater than two and it bends ...

SUBFRAME ANALYSIS The general steps for analysing a determinate frame are: Use equilibrium to find all reaction forces. Split the frame into separate members. ...

Introduction. Crack width calculation is one of the serviceability requirements in the structural concrete elements. ... The crack width of a flexural member ...

Punching shear is a phenomenon where a concentrated force on a slab causes a shear failure cone that "punches" through. Punching shear calculations require a ...
