Development length | Bond stress, critical sections, bundled bars
You must agree that bond stress is the main parameter on which development length depends. In this post, we will see the bond stress value for different grades of concrete.
Structural Design
Design is the final step in the whole engineering process. A good design satisfies the requirements of strength and serviceability while also remaining economic to construct.
What is Development Length in Compression for Reinforced Concrete Columns as per IS456
When we pull on a reinforcement bar, it needs a certain amount of length in order to have a strong grip. This is known as the development length. It’s important
What is Development Length for Reinforced Concrete Beams as per IS456
Development length is the length required to develop the grip in the rod. If you do not provide the development length to the rod, it will come out due to
What is a structure ?
A structure means a system of connected parts used to support a load. An elastic body is called a structure when a set of loads are applied the elastic body
Losses in Prestressed concrete
The effective prestress in concrete undergoes a gradual reduction with time from the stage of transfer due to various causes. This is called losses in prestressing. Types of Losses Pre
Prestressing methods
Prestressed concrete is used in a wide range of building and civil structures where its improved performance can allow for longer spans, reduced structural thickness, and materials saving compared with
IS Specifications for prestressed concrete
The code of practice for prestressed concrete is IS:1343-1980. In this post some of the very important specifications which one should keep in mind before going for design of prestressed
Materials used for Prestressed concrete
Prestressed concrete is used in a wide range of building and civil structures where its improved performance can allow for longer spans, reduced structural thickness, and materials saving compared with
Difference between Reinforced concrete and Prestressed concrete
Both the reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures employ two materials, that is, concrete and steel. Besides these two materials, there is nothing common between them and their structural behavior
Design procedure for column with Biaxial moments
A column is a special case of a compression member that is vertical. A reinforced concrete column is basically a vertical structural member, which helps to transfer the load from
