Basic assumption in mechanics of solid
In the engineering first year all of us have to go through the mechanics course. This course deals with the force and reaction in the body, inertia, moment, vector, scalar
What is effective stress in soil?
Effective stress is the main parameter that helps understand soil engineering phenomena. Although effective stress is hypothetical, and there is no instrument to measure this directly, it is still most
Steel beam | Introduction, and design provision
We technically call the beam a flexure member. That means it resists the load by flexure action which we can understand with a simple object lying on our table that
Reinforced cement concrete (RCC)
We will discuss and learn about reinforced cement concrete here in this article. We also call reinforced cement concrete RCC in short form. And the RCC we are discussing here
A simple guide to the steps in staircase design
A staircase serves as more than just a functional component within a building; it is an architectural feature that harmonizes design and functionality. At its core, a staircase is a
How to determine the tensile strength of flat plates?
Tension members are those which are subjected to tensile force. In this article, we will focus on the determination of the tensile strength of the simplest tension member that is
Designing one way slabs: An example
One-way slabs are crucial in structural egg., serving as essential components in building and infrastructure construction. Their primary function is to transfer loads from the superstructure to the supporting elements
An introduction to slabs
Slabs, in the field of civil engg., play a pivotal role in the design and construction of various structures. They are imp. parts that provide strength, and functionality to residential
Design steps of pile foundation
The design of a pile foundation is a tedious process. It involves lots of components to be designed. Before this, we discussed different types of deep foundations and the construction
Compressive strength of single angle struts
In the previous articles, we have seen design examples for I-section column where we discussed that the design steps cannot be applied for single angle struts. So, what makes single-angle
