Curtailment of Beam Reinforcements
Curtailment of beam reinforcements is discussed in this article. Different detailing techniques applied as per the various guidelines are explained in detail for better understanding. Most of the detailings are based on the British...
Movement Joints in Concrete Structures
Movement Joints in structures can be seen very commonly as they make the structure stable, constructible and reduce the cost of construction. If the structures tend to move in any direction due to settlement,...
Minimum Percentage of Reinforcement
The minimum percentage of reinforcement for beam, column and slabs can be found from the table 3.25 of BS 8110 Part 01 1997. You may refer to the following table to find the required...
Maximum area of reinforcemnt
The maximum area of reinforcement can be found under the clause 3.12.6. It states the reinforcement ratios for columns, walls, and beams. These ratios should be used with the detailing rules that govern the...
