Category: Structural Failures
Structural failures can have catastrophic consequences, leading to loss of life, property damage, and economic implications. Understanding the causes, impacts, and prevention of failures is crucial for ensuring the safety and integrity of buildings...
Structural assessment is an important field of study for civil engineers, as the objective is to inspect existing structures and determine their safety and stability. Civil engineers must have the right technical knowledge and...
Fatigue failure is a common issue faced by civil engineers. It occurs when a structural element experiences repeated loadings over time, leading to material degradation and a decrease in strength. With the right knowledge...
Foundation failure leads to the failure of the structure built on top of it. As we always discuss, the foundation should be adequately strong enough to carry the applied loads. However, the failure of...
Footing rebar details are not that complicated as other types of structural elements. The reinforcement arrangement of the combined footings, spread footings, etc is mainly covered in this article. We design footing for bending...
