Structural evaluation process is the quality assessment of old structures. Structural evaluation process is done to protect the building in long run. This evolution is carried out to avoid structural defects in the structure. What is Structural Evaluation Process? The method applies to conventional in-situ reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and prestressed in-situ concrete. Evaluation of … Read more
What Is An Earthquake Resistant Building? Whenever an earthquake strikes it comes without giving a single hint of it. Everything about it is unpredictable. We don’t know when it is coming, how it is coming, how strong it is, how long will it last; everything is known after it happens. Hence, it is to be … Read more
A roof turbine is a ventilation device that removes moist air from a roof to prevent wood rot, mold, and mildew from forming. Simply put, a turbofan is an exhaust fan that removes humid and hot air from a roof or attic. Turbine vents are designed to twist and rotate as air enters the turbine … 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
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
The main difference between the load-bearing structure and frame structure is that walls in the load-bearing structure bear the load while walls in the frame structure do not bear the load. What is a load-bearing structure? In load-bearing structures, walls carry loads and transfer them to the foundation structure. Almost all walls in these structures … Read more
Response spectrum analysis is a technique in which we calculate how a given structure will behave to complicated ground motions. It is a method to estimate the structural response to short, nondeterministic, transient dynamic events such as earthquakes. The mass and stiffness distributions of the structure determine its reaction. Stiff buildings, for example, will have … Read more
