Hi,
I am relatively new in designing post tension member and as a start I am trying to study how RAPT do the design of Post tension slab.
I came across the P/A value @ transfer and at service.I was told that the limit for service is P/A = 1.2 - 1.8 MPa to control the cracking of concrete...
Hi'
I was advised to design a beam that must satisfy AS3600 table 2.3.2 or the limits for deflection. Is it proper to compare the limit, that is L/250, with the long term deflection of the beam (calculated through RAPT) or is it used only for immediate deflection? If so, what is the limit for...
Sir,
I am reading the AS3600 code and can't seem to find the modification factor for the inertia of an element to consider its cracked behavior.
in ACI it is given as:
Column = 0.7I
Beam = 0.35I
For complete list see ACI 10.10.4.1
Am I just having no luck searching or is AS3600 has different...
Hi guys!
As I google the definition of plastic hinging one of the answer states that, "a condition where a member can bend further but there will be no increase in resisting moment".
I would like to ask what contributes to this mechaninsm (strain hardening maybe).
I have used ACI chapter 21...
Good day!
I'm new to prestressed design and just about to start reading some materials about it.
I started by reveiwing the theories of Reinfored Concrete Beam (RCB) and came accross this question: "Is there a way to quantify the ductility of RCB?"
I understand that increasing As (Area of...
