The strength and serviceability calculations described above and in my previous article are used to determine the cross-sectional areas and bar sizes of the tension- (main) and shear-reinforcing bars ...

The objective of this text is to present one of the methods of pre-dimensioning slabs, beams, and pillars of buildings built with reinforced concrete. There are several other methods, but this is ...

Insufficient analysis of load capacity results in costly over-engineering or catastrophic structural failures - but many ...

To conduct this test, the complete pre-crack and post-crack response of a 6-inch x 6-inch x 20-inch fiber-reinforced concrete beam is recorded. For the design of slabs-on-ground with fiber ...
