Concrete is a nonlinear material, and its behavior under loading cannot be captured by a single universal stress–strain relationship. To account for different strength classes, loading conditions, and...
This article presents a worked example on the analysis and design of continuous one-way reinforced concrete slab. The bending moments and shear forces are obtained using tabular coefficients...
This article shows a practical worked example on how to check the stress in a prestressed concrete beam using the combined stress approach. Verifying the stress will enable...
This article presents a worked example on the design of half-turn staircase to Eurocode 2. The staircase to be designed connects the ground floor and the first floor...
A slender column is a column that is vulnerable to buckling which prevents it from harnessing its maximum strength. Several codes of practice have devised diverse methods to...
Column design charts are created to simplify the design of reinforced concrete columns. These charts are suitable for columns with symmetrical arrangement of reinforcement and they are produced...
Columns are mostly used to transfer loads from superstructure to foundation or to transfer members.
This article presents a worked example on the design of reinforced concrete flange beam to EC2.
A flange section is that which has a rectangular extension from the main rectangular body. The extension is called a flange while the rectangular body is called web....
This article presents a worked example on the design of doubly reinforced beam to EC2
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,...
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...
