Beam Design for Torsion | Worked Example
The method of beam design for torsion with worked example is debussed in this article. There are basic steps to be followed same as the beam longitudinal reinforcement design. In the beam design for...

Under Reinforced Section Design
Becoming section under reinforced section than over reinforced section is good in structural design. Under reinforced sections shows early warnings adequately before the structural failure. However, over reinforced section will fail suddenly by crushing...
How to Check Section is Over Reinforced
The over-reinforced section is considered critical when compared with the under-reinforced condition. If over-reinforced, the section can fail suddenly without warning as a result of crushing the concrete. However, in under-reinforced conditions, the section...
Concrete Beam [design and detailing]
The concrete beam is one of the basic elements in a structure. Concrete columns and concrete slabs are the other most frequently used element in building construction. There are other types of beams in...
Punching Shear Design a Detailed Discussion
Punching shear is a failure mechanism when structural elements subjected to concentrated load. Failure occurs in perimeter defined away from the concentrated load. Slabs, pile caps, footings, raft foundations, etc. element is subjected to...
