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 Development Length for Reinforced Concrete Footings as per IS456
To understand development length, you must visit the article “What is development length.” If you have already gone through the article, you must know that development length is the grip
Homogenous and Isotropic material
Before starting the strength of the material, you need to clearly understand homogenous and isotropic material as you keep making these assumptions about the material. In this post, you will
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
Which material is widely used for construction ?
There are plenty of options which we can use as a construction material available in the industry. An efficient engineer should select the material as per the project requirement, such
What is creep of concrete ?
Creep of concrete is a kind of deformation which occurs because of sustained loading. It is important to study the creep, because it can have a significant impact on the
