In this article, we will describe the perfect truss, imperfect or deficient truss, and redundant truss. First, let’s know what is Truss. A Truss is a structure consisting of straight Slender Rods connected only at their joint. Slender Rod – If the diameter of rods is smaller compared to its length then this type of rod … Read more
Methods Of Structural Design Structural design can be accomplished using three primary methods: working stress, limit state, and ultimate load. Initially, the working stress method was utilized for designing both Reinforced Concrete and Steel structures. However, due to certain drawbacks of the working stress method, the Ultimate Load method was introduced. In recent times, most … Read more
What Is T Beam? It’s just a rectangular beam cast monolithically with the slab-shaped as T. T-beams possess a low volume of concrete. Additionally, they lessen the floor-to-floor height since the flange is already part of the slab. These two things in combination significantly decrease the concrete needed for the building, cutting down both cost … Read more
What Is Cantilever Beam? A cantilever beam can be defined as a beam that is supported on only one side. In this way, one end is fixed and the other end is exposed beyond the support. The beam transmits the load to the support where it can manage the moment of force and shear stress. The moment … Read more
What Is Dowel Bar? Dowel bar is a short round, smooth steel bar used to stipulate a mechanical connection between slab without restricting horizontal joint movement. These bars are chiefly used in jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) to carry the additional stress and load-induced due to the moving vehicle. There are two types of dowel … Read more
In this blog article you will learn about difference between one way slab and two way slab. One Way Slab Vs Two Way Slab: All Differences I have described all the differences between one way slab and two way slab. Criteria One Way Slab Two Way Slab Definition A slab supported on two opposite sides … Read more
Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagram for cantilever beam are as follows. Case 01. Shear Force And Bending Moment Diagram Of Cantilever Beam When Point Load Is Applied From the figure, we have the value of the load at point A and point B. So let’s draw the shear force diagram with the help of … Read more
Introduction Of Structural Analysis and Design Structural analysis and Structural designing are very essential parts of Civil Engineering. In this article, I’ll explain the structural analysis and structural design. Before taking deep dive into this article, I would recommend you to read about the Unit Weight of Building Materials. Unit weight of building materials will … Read more
Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagram for a simply supported beam are as follows. Case 01. Simply supported beam with a point load. To find out Shear Force, first, we will calculate Ra and Rc. Beam is simply supported ∑Ma = ∑Mc= 0. Let us consider ∑Ma = 0. 6*4 – Rc*8 = 0 (Clockwise … Read more
