A large number of Indian Standard (IS) codes are available that are meant for virtually every aspect of civil engineering one can think of. During one's professional life one normally uses only a handful of them depending on the nature of work they are involved in. Civil engineers engaged in construction activities of large projects usually have to refer to a good number of IS codes as such ...
Figure 2 - Failure probability and target service life in performance-based service life models for reinforced concrete structures. Performance-based approaches provide for a real design of durability, based on models describing the evolution in time of degradation processes, and the definition of times at which defined limit states will be ...
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.
Reinforced concrete, also called ferroconcrete, is a composite material in which concrete's relatively low tensile strength and ductility are compensated for by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility.
The ultimate strength of concrete is influenced by the water-cementitious ratio (w/cm), the design constituents, and the mixing, placement and curing methods employed. All things being equal, concrete with a lower water-cement (cementitious) ratio makes a stronger concrete than that with a higher ratio. [2]
"People really didn't know about it until the end of last year," Miller said. "It was out there, but no one really knew much about it." Many of the state's small business owners still don't know ...
A factor of safety is a design criteria that an engineered component or structure must achieve. = /, where FS: the factor of safety, Rf The applied stress, and F: ultimate allowable stress (psi or MPa) [13] Margin of Safety is the common method for design criteria. It is defined MS = P u /P − 1.
Eberflus acknowledged that the Bears did a poor job of blocking, but believes that the Packers made illegal contact with long snapper Scott Daly on the play and wants the NFL to take a second look.
