Thanks. For the columns, I am thinking of placing a beam on the 6m high column. The 3m high is below ground below. The height of the first floor will be 5m. At the openings, instead of placing a lintel i will place a beam and thus reduce the height of the column and its slenderness. I am having...

Hi, Can anyone tell me the name of a book which has got the design for billboards? I have got one but there is no design for billboards in that. Thanks

Hi, I have a problem..A contractor has not followed the structural plans and has cast 42 pad footings and columns.Now according to the load that the building will carry some of the foundations are found to be in adequate. Apart from demolishing and cast again, is there any method to remedy...

I wanted to know the difference between peripheral ties, internal ties, horizontal and vertical ties..

ok..nevermind, i will look for a book online..thanks

Ok Ron..thanks a lot..

i mean to say its only ground + 1 floor..

it is a house design..

the textbooks that i have does not have the design of strip footing..it will be appreciated if you could tell me in which textbook i can find the design of strip footing..thanks

when i design a pad footing as pinned, the linear pressure beneath the footing is linear making the design more simpler than a fixed one..i have designed a simple house for an assignment where i have used pinned supports and not fixed. Now i have to explain why i have preferred to use pinned...

Hello..what is the formula for calculating crank length for reinforcement in columns and beams?

Thanks Fegenbush and Ron..You mean to say that the concrete will be delivered to site i will get a compliance certificate from the supplier which will give information on the slump test, compressive strength, cement fineness, water cement ratio?

What is the procedures to design a strip footing for load bearing walls? I know that i have to calculate the loading that comes from the slab beams to the walls, but i don't know how to convert this load into a bearing pressure..the strip footing is designed as an inverted beam??

What is meant by stability and robustness of a structure? From what i have read, stability means maintaining the equilibrium position of a structure even under the action of an external force. Stability must be provided into two orthogonal directions to resist lateral forces such as wind...

thanks a lot..i think it is more economical to design the base pinned rather than fixed..is it right? So far i have design only pinned bases..In pinned bases, there are only bottom reinforcement for tension, and for fixed bases, top reinforcement have to be provided? the same logic applies to...

Hi, I am actually preparing for registration with the council of engineers and will be happy if anyone can help me clarify some queries..I wanted to know how can i ensure that the whole batch of concrete passes the test (slump test or cube test)?..thanks

Hi, can anyone please tell me what is the difference if i design a pad footing as fixed and pinned?Which one is better?thanks
