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.

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.

COMMON STRUCTURAL FAILURE CAUSES

The Constructor

The most common causes of structural failures are: (1) Poor communication between the various design professionals involved, e.g. engineers involved in conceptual design and those involved in the supervision of execution of works. (2) 2) poor communication between the fabricators and erectors. (3)

Reaching a new level of sophistication with panelized construction

Construction Specifier

However, all will have the structural skeleton of the frame. Panels can be made of dimensional lumber, cross-laminated timber (CLT), cold-formed steel (CFS), structural steel, concrete, or a combination of these systems. Just about any finish that can be applied to a floor or wall surface can be used on the panels.

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. Take, for example, a precast concrete wall. Revit-model-driven structural-analysis. The structural engineer creates the analytical model and structural system.
