Normally, materials are subjected to external forces when they are utilized. Mechanical Engineers figure out those powers and material researchers how materials disfigure or break as a component of power, time, temperature, and different conditions. Materials researchers find out about these mechanical properties by testing materials. A portion of the significant mechanical properties of the … Read more
In this type of footing, at least two columns are supported in a row and a common foundation is provided. A combined footing is provided when the bearing capacity of the soil is low and required more surface area. Basically, It is made of reinforced cement concrete (R.C.C). Combined footing distributes the load from the superstructure to … Read more
A slab is a very important component of a structure. In ancient times, people used natural materials like mud, clay, bamboo to construct slabs. But the problem was that these slabs were not much durable or people did not have technical knowledge about materials. As civilization grew, peoples start innovating different materials to construct slabs. … Read more
Lap length and development length are extensions of the reinforcement bar. These two concepts are used while designing a structure. They are further implemented while making a bar bending schedule. In this article, we will understand the difference between lap length and development length. Lap Length: When reinforcement bars come from the factory they are … Read more
Euler’s theory of column buckling is used to calculate the critical buckling load or the crippling load of a vertical strut or column. Assumptions of Euler’s Theory of Column Buckling Euler’s theory is based on some assumptions as given below. Initially, the column is perfectly straight, homogeneous, isotropic, and obeys the hook’s law. The cross-section … Read more
Mezzanine words come from the Italian word “mezzano” which means middle. As the name suggests Mezzanine floor is the middle floor of the building. It covers only a small area compared to the main slab in the building. A mezzanine floor is built between two permanent floors in the building. Normally, it does not build … Read more
What Is Simply Supported Beam? A beam supported on the ends which are free to rotate and have no moment resistance is known as a simply supported beam. The simply supported beam is quite possibly the most simple construction. It includes just two supports, one at each end. One is a pinned support and the … Read more
There are different types of load works on the structure. These loads are considered to design safe structures. Dead load Imposed load or live load Wind load Snow load Earthquake load 1. Dead load The dead load is the self-weight of the structural members. It is a permanent load on the structure. Normally dead load … Read more
Non-threaded strong joints that are normally made of steel or aluminum of head and sank is known as Rivet. Riveted joints Riveted joints are the joints that are perpetual, comprising of fundamentally two parts that are controlled together by the bolt, head at the top, and tail (barrel-shaped stem) at the base. Types of Riveted … Read more
RCC beam can be classified as balanced, under-reinforced, and over-reinforced sections based on the percentage of reinforcement it has. In this post, I have discussed the balanced, under-reinforced, and over-reinforced beam sections. Balanced Beam Section Reinforced concrete beam (RCC) sections in which the tension steel also reaches yield strain at the same time as the … Read more
