    T-beam is simply rectangular beam cast monolithically with the slab.

    Advantage os T-beam over ordinary beam:-

    1. T-beam casting with slab as we know so Its flange takes compressive stress and that mean It will resist more sagging moment of beam.
    2. Depth of beam is reduced as compare to ordinary beam so better headroom advantage.
    3. Over longer span T-beam is used rather than ordinary beam for reducing the deflection of beam.

    Reinforced concrete deep beam is defined as that members with clear spans in equal or less than four times the overall member depth or regions of beams that are loaded on one face with concentrated loads within twice the member depth from the support and supported on the opposite face so that compreRead more

    Reinforced concrete deep beam is defined as that members with clear spans in equal or less than four times the overall member depth or regions of beams that are loaded on one face with concentrated loads within twice the member depth from the support and supported on the opposite face so that compression struts can be developed between the loads and supports.

    Here if the matter comes about higher modulus of elasticity between rubber or steel then we can say steel is more elastic than rubber. We know that young's modulus is the ratio of stress to the strain. Therefore, for a given stress, the strain produced in steel is much smaller than that produced inRead more

    Here if the matter comes about higher modulus of elasticity between rubber or steel then we can say steel is more elastic than rubber. We know that young’s modulus is the ratio of stress to the strain. Therefore, for a given stress, the strain produced in steel is much smaller than that produced in rubber. This implies that Young’s modulus for steel is greater than that for rubber.

    The moment of the wall towards the backfill, in this case, the lateral earth pressure called a passive earth pressure.

    In the case of passive earth pressure,

    Major principal stress = lateral pressure

    Minor principal stress = vertical pressure

    In this case, soil exerts a pull on a retaining wall where the inner rupture plane called as a failure plane makes at (45- fi/2) angle with horizontal.

    At depth=0 , Rankines passive force= 0

    If q is a surcharge load acting on backfill, then lateral pressure = K.q applied throughout the depth of retaining wall.

    Hi,

    Substitute frame method is used for the analysis of complex structure I.e multi-storeyed building because analysis of multi-story building is very complicated and long calculations needed. Substitute frame method used for sudden analysis and gives approximate values.

    The moment distribution method is used for the analysis of applied loads on the structure in the substitute frame method. This method is generally used to determine the vertical loads and horizontal loads. Vertical load is a combination of live load and dead loads

    This method is applied only or vertical loads.

    Dead loads include self-weight of slab column and beams which is analysed in substitute frame method.

    In this method, the beams which are at floor level as well as the columns above the floor and below which are situated at the fixed far end will be e analysed. In some cases the bending moment is not distributed over the far end, thus the moment is computed independently at each floor and retained on that floor for further analysis.

    Stirrups are mainly provided for holding the main reinforcement of beam. It prevents the buckling of beam and also protect the RCC structure during seismic activity. Stirrups providing protection against flexural and shear failure as shown in figure.

    A group of reinforced bars, parallelly set to each other to act as a unit should be limited four in a bundle used as reinforcement in reinforced concrete, enclosed by stirrups or ties. Bars greater than 32mm should not be bundled in beams.

    The development length of every bar of bundled bars should be that for the individual bar, increased by 10 % for two bars in contact, 20 % for three bars in contact, and 33 % for four bars in contact.
