Section properties involve the mathematical properties of structural shapes. They are of great use in structural analysis and design. Note that these properties have nothing to do with the strength of the material, but are based solely on the shape of the section. It explains why some shapes are more efficient at supporting loads than others. These […]

Reinforced masonry is a form of composite construction where the masonry units resist compressive stress and internal reinforcement resists tensile stress developing primarily from flexure and shear actions. … Masonry walls may be fully grouted with all internal spaces filled.

Pad foundations are a form of spread foundation formed by rectangular, square, or sometimes circular concrete ‘pads’ that support localized single-point loads such as structural columns, groups of columns or framed structures. … Pad foundations can also be used to support ground beams. Pad foundations are used to support an individual point load such as that due

Introduction. Crack width calculation is one of the serviceability requirements in the structural concrete elements. … The crack width of a flexural member is obtained by multiplying the maximum crack spacing by the mean strain of the flexural steel reinforcement.

Beam design can be done for different codes depending on specific requirements. Before designing a beam, first, we need to find the bending moments and shear forces of the beam section through an analysis. BS 8110 part 01 is one of the most commonly used standards, and the method expressed in the code can be

Rigid beam-to-column connections are generally subjected to axial and shear forces in addition to bending and torsional moments. Design equation for end-plate thickness of these connections has been extensively investigated Friction-type connections are widely used to connect steel members where slipping is not permitted under serviceability loads. The friction developed between the faying surfaces transfers the design shear
