Dear all,
Thank-you for your time,
I am currently detailing a balcony to be cast in concrete in an already existing apartment.
I plan to cast a beam internally which will be inserted in walls on each side, and a cantilever slab externally hanging from this beam (beam also acting as a counter...
Hi, (long read ahead - thanks for taking time to read)
I have obtained the Safe Load Tables from a local supplier for Precast Concrete Planks (Sample Attached)
with notes (attached).
I am new to using precast elements, and would like to ask the following, if possible;
1. What is your opinion...
Thankyou for your replies.
@Tomfh
It all boils down to good workmanship agreed.
Having shear equal on both ends of the beam, would not make a difference in which direction the stirrup is inclined though?
or you would use vertical stirrups in such case?
@jaskamakkara
Thanks for this. Yes, that...
Hi,
When designing for shear in a beam I consider vertical stirrups at the required spacing.
Do you find that slanted stirrups (say 45degrees) are more effective to resist steel?
Thankyou, and Regards
Hi,
I am trying to find reference to the percentage of Transverse steel reinforcement in EC2, but I cannot seem to find it.
Anyone can direct me to this?
How much transverse reinforcement do you provide (minimum) in a one-way slab?
15% area of concrete? or any ratio to main reinforcment...
Dear All,
Thankyou for your feedback.
With regards to reinforcement, the slab is a simply supported slab (supported on two beams), that is why the steel reinforcement is in the bottom, i.e. tension.
Perhaps you thought it is a cantilever slab?
Sorry if i was not clear in my explanation.
Regards
Dear all,
I have attached two scenarios of a reinforced concrete beam carrying a horizontal slab.
In principle, would you say that in Scenario B, the beam has a higher load capacity than in Scenario A, considering that the whole depth is beneath the actual slab load, whereas in the other case...
Dear all,
Hope you are well.
I am new to Safe load tables (Prestressed concrete planks/slabs), and have obtained the safe load tables of local suppliers.
1.
The load capacity is in terms of KN/m^2, and I am getting confused if I just need to divide my line load (300kn/m direction of span) by...
