Structural loads, structural analysis and structural design are simply explained with the worked example for easiness of understanding. Element designs with notes and discussions have added to get comprehensive knowledge. Also, construction materials, shoring system design, water retaining structures, crack width calculations, etc. have discussed in addition to other aspects.
The structural engineer and the construction team shall be aware of why does concrete crack on different occasions. There are many reasons for concrete cracking. The cracking of concrete is very important to avoid...
Cracks in basement wall could be due to the construction defect or failure in the design. The incorrect assumption made during the design could cause this issue. In general, almost all types of construction...
Concrete shrinkage is inevitable under normal circumstances unless we use a special type of cement for the construction. Nonshrink concrete made using the cement that there is no volume reduction after pouring could be...
Early thermal cracking of concrete is inevitable if we don’t take necessary actions during the design and the construction. Both stages have a significant impact on the cracking of concrete. In this article, we...
Beam and slab deflection needs to control as serviceability requirements. If not, slabs and beams will crack due to the excessive deflections. Further, an increase in the deflections in the beams and slabs could...
