  2. Reinforced concrete column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_Concrete_Column

    A reinforced concrete column is a structural member designed to carry compressive loads, composed of concrete with an embedded steel frame to provide reinforcement. For design purposes, the columns are separated into two categories: short columns and slender columns.

  3. Suspended structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspended_structure

    An example of a catenary-shaped suspended structure is the Eero Saarinen designed Dulles International Airport. The roof of the structure is made up of suspension cable which stretches across angled concrete columns. In the design of Dulles airport, the floor, the columns and the roof all work together to allow the walls and ceiling to float. [6]

  4. Column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Column

    Modern columns may be constructed out of steel, poured or precast concrete, or brick, left bare or clad in an architectural covering, or veneer. Used to support an arch, an impost, or pier, is the topmost member of a column. The bottom-most part of the arch, called the springing, rests on the impost.

  5. Reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete

    For FRP-reinforced concrete, aesthetics and possibly water-tightness will be the limiting criteria for crack width control. FRP rods also have relatively lower compressive strengths than steel rebar, and accordingly require different design approaches for reinforced concrete columns.

    The design of a column must check the axial capacity of the element and the buckling capacity. ... A concrete flat slab is an example of a plate.

    The height of the ribs and beams should be 1 ⁄ 25 of the span between columns. [3] The width of the solid area around the column should be 1 ⁄ 8 of the span between columns. Its height should be the same as the ribs. [3] Diagram showing waffle slab rib and Beam Heights rule of thumb formulas.

  8. Tube (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(structure)

    Such buildings have interior columns along the perimeters of the tubes when they fall within the building envelope. Notable examples include Willis Tower, One Magnificent Mile, and the Newport Tower. Willis Tower, finished in 1973, introduced the bundled tube structural design and was the world's tallest building until 1998

  9. Precast concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precast_concrete

    Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and maneuvered into place; examples include precast beams, and wall panels, floors, roofs, and piles.
