The bearing length should be atleast 75mm to avoid spalling of the edges. To prevent this short of failure occurring, the slab must be tied to the beam. Connections in Hollow Core Slab: The problem with hollow core slabs is that there is no projecting reinforcement in the slab, so a frictional tie is required.

For most in-situ pours, the formwork is made of wood. When concrete is fresh and in its liquid state it must be restrained within a mould in order for it to set in its required shape. Formwork is the term used to describe this mould. A smooth outer surface provides the main support for the concrete as it sets. Concrete is approximately 2.4

The benefits of using steel fibres in concrete are as follows: 1. Steel Fibres are generally distributed throughout a given cross section whereas reinforcing bars or wires are placed only where required 2. Steel fibres are relatively short and closely spaced as compared with countinuous reinforcing bars of wires.

This type of shrinkage is caused by the loss of moisture from the cement paste constituent, which can shrink by as much as 1% per unit length. Unfortunately, aggregate provides internal restraint that reduces the magnitude of this volume change to about 0.05%. Upon wetting, concrete tends to expand.

The size of movement depends upon the change in temperature and the coefficient of thermal expansion o f concrete. The coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete is influenced largely by the coefficient of thermal expansion of the aggregates since the aggregate occupies 70-80% of the volume of the concrete.

There are four phases of project management which are required to manage projects efficiently on quality, time and costs. In this process you identify the business need for and objectives of the project; clarify competing demands and watch for scope creep. Organizing of the project is an important step towards planning of the project.

Truss members can thus transmit only axial forces (tensile and compressive forces). 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.

This same type of failure could also happen in another way. Consider a portion of slab subjected to an increasing concentrated load. Eventually the slab will fail. One possible method of failure is that the load punches through the slab. Thus, the failure mechanism is by shear, hence the name is punching shear.
