Design of a Singly Reinforced Beam to Eurocode 2 – Worked Example
This article presents a worked example of the design of singly reinforced concrete beam to EC2. The image below shows the Plan view of a reinforced concrete structure,...
Design of Reinforced Concrete Beam to Eurocode 2 – an overview
The approach to designing reinforced concrete beam to EC2 is to design for ultimate limit state and check whether serviceability limit state criteria are met. The foremost of...
Design of Reinforced Concrete Beam to BS 8110:1:1997: an Overview
The design approach to designing reinforced concrete beam to BS 8110:1:1997 is to design for ultimate limit state and check whether serviceability limit state criteria are met. The...
Distribution of Slab Loads to Beams
Before diving into using FEA software for complex analysis, it is incumbent on an engineer to understand the basics of load distribution so that he can understand and...
Frame Structures: Understanding the concept of Sub-frame
Frames are structures which consist of series of interconnected beams and column. Several structural materials can be used in building a frame. In reinforced concrete frames, the beams...
Understanding Moment Distribution Method.
1.0 Introduction: Moment distribution is an iterative method of structural analysis that is used to analyze statistically indeterminate beams and frames to obtain the moments at their joints....
Stability, Determinacy, and Indeterminacy
1.0 INTRODUCTION Before any structure can be designed, structural analysis must be performed to determine the effect of actions on the structure. However, before structural analysis can be...
STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
INTRODUCTION A structure is said to be in a state of static equilibrium if it is at rest. For a structure to be at rest, the forces acting...
Structural Design Philosophies
Amuletola Rasheed Prestressed Concrete Design, Reinforced Concrete Design, Structural Steel DesignPost read time 4 min read Designs are generally carried out under the guide of one philosophy or hybrid of philosophies; structural engineering field is no exception to this premise. In structural engineering over...
