This article explains the moment of area or moment of area, application, and example. We will also derive that formula. First Moment of Area The first moment of area of a lamina about an axis is defined as the product of the area of the lamina and the perpendicular distance of the center of gravity … Read more
It is important to determine the effects of excess water in concrete. Too much water in the concrete mixture makes it easier to lay concrete, but it also reduces the quality of the overall concrete product. The adverse effects of having too much water in a concrete structure are very common, and this article outlines … Read more

Longitudinal skin reinforcement is deformed rebar, wire, or bonded prestressed reinforcing bars evenly placed on either side of the vertical surface of the tensile region in a relatively deep beam to control the width of the crack. If the deep beam is not provided with such reinforcement, the crack width in the web will be … Read more
Planned preventive maintenance of buildings is a type of predictive or predictive maintenance that is a systematic approach to keep a building running or extending its life of a building before disturbance or failure occurs. Preventive actions can be planned or unscheduled. However, when it comes to building maintenance, planned preventive maintenance is the most … Read more
Rapid hardening cement is a special type of cement that achieves high strength in a shorter time. In general, the strength achieved by ordinary cement in 7 days is equal to the strength achieved in 3 days. This type of cement is also called High-Early Strength Portland Cement. This article describes the manufacturing process, properties, … Read more
What is Lug Angle The lug angle is a small fraction of the angle used to connect the protruding part of the element to the gusset. The lug angle is designed to shorten the length of the gusset connection and reduce the effect of the shear lag. A total of 8 bolts are required to … Read more
A Flitch beam is also known as a flitched beam. These types of beams are made of more than one material. A Flitch beam is a composite beam. It is consist of two layers. Example: A composite beam made of steel and wood. Composite beams can be analyzed using the same bending theory used for … Read more
In this article, I will describe the torsion of solid circular shafts and hollow circular shafts. If equal and opposite couples are applied at the ends of a circular shaft, they will either equilibrate or rotate at the same speed. In either case, the stress that causes torsion and occurs in each section is the … Read more
