In steel structures, as in an RCC structure, some common types of connections are beam to column connections, beam to beam connections, connections of transverse stiffeners with the beam, connections of lacing…
Category: Structural Analysis And Design
The structural analysis deals with the analysis and design of load carrying elements of any construction. It is a core branch of civil engineering. Structural analysis is difficult without the help of software but it also takes expertise to work with software as it needs a very high level of ability to quantify.
The role of a structure designer is to design the skeleton of the building and determine and calculate reinforcement.
4 Virtues of Earthquake Resistant Building Design
It is the goal of every civil engineer and structure designer to design and create buildings that are Earthquake Resistant. The buildings designed by a structural engineer should suffer minimal damage during…

Prestressed Concrete – Advantages and Disadvantages
In 1928 AD, Eugene Freyssinet introduced a revolutionary material, the prestressed concrete. In prestressed we overcome the limitation of concrete that it has a low tensile strength. Prestressed concrete has its inherent…
IS 875 Code to Calculate Load (PDF Download)
Beauro of Indian standards has designed IS 875-1987 to ascertain the different loads on the structure other than earthquake loads. IS 875 code is very comprehensive and divided into 5 parts. The…
IS 1343 2012 PDF (Prestressed Concrete Code of Practice)
In the past century, a new form of concrete evolved called prestressed concrete. In prestressed concrete, initial compressive stress is induced in the concrete before actual loading. So, it can withstand tensile…
Types of Losses of Prestress in Prestressed Concrete
Losses in case of Pre Tensioned Prestressed Concrete Loss due to Elastic Shortening: Suddenly, after applying the prestress to the concrete, it undergoes elastic deformation which is also simultaneous and equal to…
