Failure Modes in beams There are two common types of failure in slender, non Prestressed flexural elements that carry the load in one direction only are Compression failure of the Compressive Chord “ductile flexural failure”: After yielding of the reinforcement, if no redistribution of forces is possible, the deformations of the beam become important while … Read more
Significance of Delayed Ettringite Formation and Damage Mechanisms Ettringite is formed in hydrated Portland cement system as a result of the reaction of calcium aluminate with calcium sulfate, both present in Portland cement. In the cement system, the presence of ettringite depends on the ratio of calcium sulfate to tri-calcium aluminate (C3A); when this ratio … Read more
Foundation Retrofitting The foundation of any type of structure is the only element of a building unexposed to weather conditions. There is no reason why they have to be taken for granted as this fact makes it almost impossible for foundation repair(foundation retrofitting) to take place. And if in case they would be, it requires … Read more
Shotcrete in Concrete Repair Shotcrete is defined as “mortar or concrete pneumatically projected at high speed onto a surface” (American Concrete Institute, 1990). There are two basic types of shotcrete—dry mix and wet mix. In dry mix shotcrete, the dry cement, sand, and coarse aggregate, if used, are premixed with only sufficient water to reduce dusting. This mixture is … Read more
Segmental Construction Of Bridge – Seminar (with ppt) Submitted by : Gaurav Jhalani Introduction of Bridge A bridge is a structure built to across a obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Designs of bridges depending on the function of the bridge, length … Read more
Composite Slabs & Columns – Advantages and Basic Concepts Read Introduction on Composite Structures Here Composite slabs Consist of profiled steel decking with an in-situ reinforced concrete topping. The decking(profiled steel sheeting) not only acts as permanent formwork to the concrete, but also provides sufficient shear bond with the concrete so that, when the concrete … Read more
