Foundation Construction: Purpose, Functions, Depth and Process of Foundation
What is foundation in construction? Foundation is the essential part of the structure which helps to transfer the load of the structure from footing to the soil and it provides the stability of the structure. It is a part of below the ground level where we can provide levelled surface to transmit load in large […]
Types of Foundation[PDF]: definition, diagram, uses or applications
NOTE: DOWNLOAD THE PDF FILE OF THIS ARTICLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS ARTICLE “The TYPE OF FOUNDATION decides, how strong the build-up is”, right in every sense. Here, in this article, we are going to discuss everything about Types of Foundation. Surely everyone knows it is the essential part of the structure which transfers its […]
CALCULATE THE EFFECTIVE DEPTH OF THE SLAB
Generally, we take the unit for slab thickness in mm, meter or inches depending upon the requirement to show in drawing and measuring purpose. The minimum thickness of the slab we consider is 125 mm, according to IS 456:2000. The thickness of the slab depends on the load on the slab. Here we have taken slab thickness […]
HOW TO CALCULATE RCC COLUMN SIZE
The RCC column size calculation depends on the loads on the column. For the calculating size of the column, you need to know the following: Factored load on the column The grade of steel, and The grade of concrete. After which you can put the value of parameters in the factored load formula. This formula is used […]
HOW TO CALCULATE BEAM SIZE USING BEAM DESIGN FORMULA
The beam is a structural element that transfers all the dead load, the live load of the slab to the column. We all know that calculating beam size is essential and indispensable while designing a house. In this post, you will get to know the method of how to calculate the beam size before designing a beam […]
How to calculate the Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagram?
DEFINITION OF SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT DIAGRAM These are the most significant parts of structural analysis for design. You can quickly identify the size, type and material of member with the help of shear force and bending moment diagram. Let’s know the whole concept in detail: SHEAR FORCE DEFINITION: It is an independent parameter. According […]
STRUCTURE ANALYSIS: STATICALLY DETERMINATE AND INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES
SIGNIFICANCE OF STRUCTURE ANALYSIS Structures have always been admired for their beauty of architecture and their aesthetic structural design. They possess a trait—almost indefinable—that embodies design ingenuity, connection to place, and, above all, imagination. People have been analysing these structures and making us aware of the stunning architectural facts. From ancient age to the modern […]
