Have you ever wondered why there are two types of bars used in slab reinforcement, namely Main bar and distribution bar? We have discussed the difference between one way slab and two way slab. Also know the load handling of each slab type. There is where the underlying answer is,…
We could say that the slab is the end product of building construction. In the whole building area, the slab is the only structural element we often use and care about. The entire structure elements such as beam, column, and foundation are the supporting parts to transfer the load that…
We often get confused about using these terms – Development Length, Anchorage Length, and Lap Length. What is the development length? The steel reinforcement that is prolonged into concrete to avoid steel slippage and to transfer the load to the concrete bond smoothly is known as Development length or Anchorage Length.…
We have discussed concrete calculations in an earlier post. If you refer to the post, we don’t exclude the steel quantity. Why? Based on the thumb rule of steel quantity or by the exact calculation, the amount of steel used in structural elements is from 1-3%. It is very low…
Generally, there is a lot of types of stirrups have been used in both column and beam reinforcement.
An accurate bar bending schedule can able to prepare based on the bar bending schedule formulas. In Fact, the bar bending schedule formulas are called Bar bending shape codes.
