TYPES OF CRACKS IN CONCRETE BEAMS

The Constructor

Cracks due to increased bending stress in beams 5. Cracks in concrete beams due to increased shear stress 2. Cracks in concrete beams due to corrosion or insufficient concrete cover 3. Cracks parallel to main steel in case of corrosion in beams 4. He is the founder of The Constructor and works in a reputed construction company.

STEPS IN ANALYSING A BRIDGE

The Constructor

A 2D beam only requires bending stiffness and cross-sectional area to be calculated. A 2D grillage model requires both bending and torsional stiffnesses but no area as there are no axial load present. Fig: 2-D Grillage Model Bending in beams leads to torsion in beams at 90degree.

DEFLECTIONS IN DETERMINATE TRUSSES

The Constructor

The basic difference in the behavior of a truss and a beam is that the truss comprises members that can sustain only axial forces but no bending moment or shear force which are the dominant forces in the beam. Truss members can thus transmit only axial forces (tensile and compressive forces). The displacement can be computed as ……………. (1)

MATERIALS FOR FORMWORK

The Constructor

However, if the formwork is curved, a thinner plywood is used to facilitate bending. Note the different thickness: A standard plywood thickness on site is 18mm. this is usually sufficient for most pours. Thicker plywood may be used when the weight of concrete causes a standard thickness plywood to bow out, distorting the concrete face.

BIM for Reinforced Concrete – From Design to Detailing in One Model

BIM & Beam

This is the third blog post in a series that discusses the advantages of working on concrete projects in a BIM process for structural engineers. The engineer can use engineering schedules or place tags in 2D or 3D views that reference concrete elements and reinforcement patterns.

TYPES OF PRECAST FRAMES

The Constructor

It can be seen from the diagrams above that the joints in the precast frame are made at positions of minimum bending moment. The bending moment diagrams of the precast concrete skeletal frame will vary from those of the in-situ frame as the joints are normally taken as being pinned, though moment joints may be possible.
