A corbel is a very short structural cantilever member projecting from a wall or a column for the purpose of carrying loads. In reinforced concrete structures, corbels are cast monolithically with the walls or columns supporting them.

Concrete inground pools use a mixture of water, cement, sand, and coarse aggregate (usually stone or gravel) to create a pool shell. This is done by using a sprayer hose rather than the traditional method of pouring concrete.

A reinforced concrete column is a structural member designed to carry compressive loads, composed of concrete with an embedded steel frame to provide reinforcement. For design purposes, the columns are separated into two categories: short columns and slender columns.

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. Beams can be singly reinforced or doubly reinforced. The latter are used if the depth of the beam is restricted

In a composite construction, precast prestressed members are used in conjunction with the concrete cast in situ, so that the members behave as monolithic unit under service loads. Composite sections involve more than one shape, made up of more than one material. SkyCiv’s Section Builder can perform calculations for composite shapes that involve stacking one shape on

The term column applies especially to a large round support (the shaft of the column) with a capital and a base or pedestal, which is made of stone, or appearing to be so. A small wooden or metal support is typically called a post, and supports with a rectangular or other non-round section are usually

The design of axially loaded circular columns is mainly governed by the column’s cross-section and its material properties. This is because the load acts at the center of the column, and the entire cross-sectional area of the column is in compression

Beam Penetration Method : In this, different colors of multi-layered are coated on inner surface of screen, normally the two layers of phosphorus i.e., red and green are coated. It is a method used for displaying color pictures that has been used with random scan monitors

Anchor reinforcement consists of longitudinal rebar and ties to carry anchor tension forces and shear forces, respectively. The Strut-and-Tie Model is proposed to analyze shear force transfer from anchors to pedestal and to design the required amount of shear reinforcement. In classical architecture, a pedestal is used as a base to support columns, statues or other ornaments.

The Column Base Plate connection is a rectangular steel plate welded to the bottom of a steel column. The steel plate sits on the top of a concrete support (with or without a grout pad between). The plate is bolted to the concrete with headed bolts that are embedded in the concrete.

Plate elements are three- or four-node elements formulated in three-dimensional space. These elements are used to model heat transfer in thin plate/shell type structures. Plate elements can have convective and radiative loads specified on their surface. … Plate elements can also incur heat generation per unit volume. Shell elements are used to model structures in which one

The main attributes of concrete pipe apply to sanitary, storm sewers and culverts. Many attributes also may be applied to box sections used for storm drainage, roadway culverts, tunnels, bridges, and underground detention systems. A column is a very important component in a structure. … So, it is important to design strong columns. Reinforced Cement Concrete Column
