Concrete in Compression (ACI 318)

July 12, 2017 TeamCivil Concrete, Concrete Design, Properties, Structural

Concrete in Compression It is generally accepted that the behavior of a reinforced concrete member under load depends on the stress–strain relationship of the materials, as well as the type of stress to which it is

Concrete in Tension: Tensile Strength of Concrete

July 11, 2017 TeamCivil Concrete, Concrete Design, Properties, Structural

Concrete in Tension: Tensile Strength of Concrete The tensile and compressive strengths of concrete are not proportional, and an increase in compressive strength is accompanied by an appreciably smaller percentage increase in tensile strength. According

limit state design

Structural Design and Limit States Aims and methods of design Codes state that the aim of design is the achievement of an acceptable probability that the structure will perform satisfactorily during its life. It must

Mechanisms of Concrete Confinement

July 6, 2017 TeamCivil Concrete Design, Structural
Mechanisms of Concrete Confinement

Mechanisms of Concrete Confinement Concrete under uniaxial compression tends to expand laterally and the longitudinal strains generated by such loading give rise to transverse tensile strains. which cause vertical cracking and failure in concrete. Lateral

Non-Industrial Floors: Types, Loading, Joint and crack requirements

July 4, 2017 TeamCivil Analysis, Concrete Design, Structural, Structures

Non-Industrial Floors This category includes all floors except warehouse and factory floors. Though non-industrial floors get little attention, they are actually far more numerous than their industrial counterparts. Non-industrial floors are usually easier to design and

Variation of Wind Velocity with Height

In this article named “Variation of Wind Velocity with Height”, how wind speed change as a function of structure height is discussed. The viscosity of air reduces its velocity adjacent to the earth’s surface to

Shear Walls

Definition of Shear Wall: Shear walls are the vertical structural element which resist the horizontal forces acting on a building structure. Shear wall can also be defined as a wall which are reinforced & made of braced panels to

effect of fire on concrete

Effect of Elevated Temperature on Concrete Strength Concrete structures could be exposed to high temperatures due to different reasons, mainly during exposure to fire; another one could be when the structure or its elements are
