What Is Beam? The beam is a structural element that stands against the bending. Mainly beam carries vertical gravitational forces, but also pull the horizontal loads on it. The beam is called a wall plate or sill plate that carries […]
Lintel Beams: Types, Construction, and Applications
What Is Lintel Beam? The lintel is a horizontal flexural member that spans over the openings in the walls for doors, windows, ventilators, cupboards, etc. A load of masonry above the opening is transferred to the wall by flexural action […]
Structural Elements: Column, Beam, Wall, and Slab Load Calculations
What Is Column? A compression member, i.e., column, is an important element of every reinforced concrete structure. These are used to transfer a load of superstructure to the foundation safely. Mainly columns, struts, and pedestals are used as compression members in buildings, […]
Tributary Area and Load Transfer in Structural Design
Tributary Area (Loading) Let a block supported by beams and columns, to begin structural analysis for each member, we’d wish to perceive the quantity of load transferred to this member. The quantity of load transferred to any member are determined […]
Mass Concrete: Techniques, Properties, and Applications
Mass Concrete: Large bridge piers, foundations, and such as dams like the massive structure, the mass concreting technique is used. For also, mass concrete strength, economy, uniformity, and other factors considered should take into account. The temperature shrinkage is the […]
