Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures

What is the difference between under-reinforcement and over-reinforcement sections?

20 September, 2024

Under-Reinforcement: This occurs when the balanced ratio of steel reinforcement is not used. This is an example of ductile failure, where the steel gives way before the concrete

What is over-reinforcement of a beam?

20 September, 2024

Over-reinforcement of a beam refers to a design where the amount of steel reinforcement provided exceeds the balanced reinforcement ratio.

What is under-reinforcement of a beam?

20 September, 2024

Under-reinforcement in a beam happens when there's less steel reinforcement than what's needed for a balanced design.

What is the function of the neutral axis of a beam?

20 September, 2024

The neutral axis of a beam is the line in its cross-section that is not stressed by tensile or compressive forces.

Explain the doubly reinforced structure.

20 September, 2024

A doubly reinforced structure is created when steel reinforcement is added to a reinforced concrete design on both the tension and compression sides of a structural element,

Explain the singly reinforced structure.

20 September, 2024

A singly reinforced structure is a type of reinforced concrete element that uses reinforcement (typically steel bars) placed in one direction, usually in tension areas.

What is working stress method ?

20 September, 2024

A structural design technique called the Working Stress Method (WSM) keeps material stresses below permissible bounds when under use to guarantee worker safety.
