Types of Concrete Beams and their Reinforcement Details
Reinforced concrete beams are structural members that support the transverse load which usually rest on supports at its end. Girder is a type of beam that supports one or more smaller beam. Types of Concrete Beams Beams are classified as ...
STEEL CONCRETE COMPOSITE BEAMS
Steel concrete composite beams consists of a steel beam over which a reinforced concrete slab is cast with shear connectors. In conventional composite construction, concrete slabs are simply rested over steel beams and supported by them. These two components act ...
GANTRY GIRDER DESIGN BASIS
Overhead travelling cranes are used in factories and workshops to lift heavy materials, equipments, etc and to carry them from one place to the other. These cranes are either hand operated or electrically operated. The crane consists of a bridge ...
Design of Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beam
Reinforced concrete beams are structural elements that designed to carry transverse external loads. The loads cause bending moment, shear forces and in some cases torsion across their length. Moreover, concrete is strong in compression and very weak in tension. Thus, ...
General Requirements of Machine Foundations during Design and Detailing
The following general requirements of machine foundations shall be satisfied and results checked prior to detailing the foundations. 1. The foundation should be able to carry the superimposed loads without causing shear or crushing failure. 2. The settlements should be ...
STRENGTHENING TECHNIQUES- R.C. SLAB
Many strengthening techniques are available depending on the purpose needed from strengthening. Some of those techniques are explained in details in the following sections. Why do we strengthen or retrofit buildings? Increase in the applied loads. Mistakes or unsafe design. ...
