Some useful tips on reinforced concrete design

Construction Cost Estimating

While designing the reinforced concrete members, it is necessary to check the steel reinforcement in jobsite prior to arrange concrete. Besides, ensure the concrete foundations, beams, columns, etc. Often, it is observed that steel beam stirrups employed in reinforced concrete design, are not installed properly.

Construction Cost Estimating

As engineers, we plan fortified concrete members and frequently we are approached to watch the steel reinforcement in field before the concrete is set. We must ensure the concrete establishments, beams, segments, and so forth are fabricated the manner in which they were structured.

GRIDFORM™ Is An Advanced Concrete Reinforcing System For Vehicular Bridge Decks

Construction Cost Estimating

GRIDFORM™ refers to a superior concrete-reinforcing system supported with prefabricated fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) double-layer grating and fundamental stay-in-place (SIP) form specifically designed for vehicular bridge decks. It is fabricated in shop with very big units which are restricted only by shipping constraints to around 50 ft.

Guidelines for rebar detailing of RCC structures

Construction Cost Estimating

Reinforcement Detailing or Rebar detailing is a detailed construction engineering process normally accomplished by the Rebar fabricators, structural engineering consultants or the contractors for generating ‘shop/placing’ drawings or shop drawings and bar bending schedule of steel reinforcement for construction.
