The doubly reinforced concrete beam design may be required when a beam’s cross-section is limited because of architectural or other considerations. As a result, the concrete cannot develop the compression force required to resist the given bending moment. In that ...

What is Parametric Modeling?
Parametric modeling (or parametric design) is the creation of a digital model based on a series of computer-generated rules or algorithms, known as parameters. This process is a quantum leap in the world of architecture as it can help resolve ...
How to design an RCC Lintel Beam as per Indian Standards? [PDF]
Lintel beams are constructed on the top of openings in the wall like windows and Doors. These are designed based on the dimensions of the openings above which it is built. Among different types of lintels, RCC lintel is the ...
Preliminary Works in Construction [PDF]
Preliminary works refer to all the activities that are involved in a construction site before the actual work commences, such as demolition, site clearance, site survey, soil survey, planning, designing, and cost estimation. In this article, we briefly discuss all ...
Concrete Durability Requirements Based on ACI-318-19
The ACI 318-19 set durability demand for concrete based on the category exposure and class exposure of the structure, dependent on the ground and weather situation of the area. Each exposure category contains different class exposure. The class exposure describes ...
Design Requirements of Concrete Based on ACI 318-19
There are several requirements established in ACI 318-19 (Building Code Requirements for Concrete and Commentary) that concrete materials need to meet; otherwise, it would not be suitable for the construction of a structure. These requirements vary from one structure to ...
Analysis and Design of RC Wall Footing Based on ACI 318-19
318M-19: Building Code Requirements for Concrete and Commentary The design of wall footing, which is also termed as strip footing, is based on the principles of beam action with only slight modifications. Wall footing should be designed to safely support ...
Concrete Design Methods : Uses, Comparison, and Advantages
Concrete design methods or concrete design philosophies such as working stress method, ultimate strength method, and limit state method are used for the design of reinforced concrete, Steel, and timber structures. These design methods are based on certain assumptions and ...
