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.
This PDF is extracted from a book. It contains the method of designing combined footings. Footing having columns internally, footings having one column at the edge, footings having both the columns at the edge...
Delayed ettringite formation in the concrete is a big issue in construction. The rise of the temperature of the concrete to more than 70 Celsius will result in the formation of the delayed ettringite...
This document contains the design of combined footing with worked examples. The design process is very clearly explained. The document is a lecture note and ownership of this document remains with the author of...
There are many slab types used in building construction. Categorization of slab types is made based on the structural form or as per the load transfer mechanism. One-way slabs, two-way slabs, flat slabs, rib...
Types of house foundations for homes are discussed in this article. The Foundation of the main element of the structure as the whole structure is built on the foundation. The foundation types such as...
As the name implies, a slab that is not having beams. It is a kind of slab having a uniform surface. When there are limitations in the head rooms, flat slabs are commonly used....
Spalling of concrete is a durability issue that should have been solved if the design and construction team attend the construction wisely. Corrosion of the reinforcement is the main reason for the spalling of...
A floating slab foundation is a kind of foundation structure that the slab acts as the foundation. In such situations, we do not need additional foundation. You may read the article for further information....
The cantilever beam is a kind of structural elements that is inevitable in the structures. It is very common. Special attention shall be made when we design and constructing the cantilever beams. They are...
One of the most commonly used construction materials in concrete defect rectification. It is used due to its special properties of it. The ability to gain strength rapidly, no reduction in the volume when...
