To start with you should first know what is a beam ? Beam is basically a structural member, constructed horizontally which resists the load applied on the it. The primary
Yes floor slab, we normally don’t give so much attention to design a floor slab. Floor slab is also called as base slab. But in some cases the floor slab
Designing a two-way slab according to the guidelines set forth in IS 456:2000 is a crucial skill for civil engineers and aspiring students in the field of structural engineering. Two-way
A structure should be serviceable and its important that it should serve the intended function throughout its life. When we follow the limit state of serviceability as per Indian Standards
Slabs are one of the important structural element of a building. It helps to transfer the various floor loads to the beam, then through columns , last to foundation of
“Special concrete for special construction projects.” This statement is valid due to its unique property and benefits over usual mix. Special concrete refers to mix that has unique properties that
Curing can be defined as a process of keeping the concrete moist and warm enough so that the hydration of cement can continue. More elaborately, it can be described as
It is very important to check the water quality of the concrete mix. As a slight change in the chemical composition of water may result in a drastic change in
The aggregate crushing value gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to crushing apply a gradually increasing compressive load. The strength of aggregate is calculated by the
Testing of aggregates with respect to its resistance to wear is an important test for aggregates. Abrasion Test is the measure of aggregate toughness and abrasion resistance such as crushing,
