Today, We will discuss about the concept about the degree of the Static indeterminacy and Kinematic indeterminacy. So let’s see- Purpose of finding the degree of indeterminacy in structure: We find the degree of indeterminacy to check whether the structure ...

Difference between One Way Slab and Two Way Slab
admin
The one way and two way slab systems are the most commonly used floor system in the reinforced concrete structure. These slabs are constructed to provide flat surfaces, usually horizontal, in building floors, roofs or other types of structures. These ...
RCC Column Requires Closer Stirrup Spacing at Top and Bottom end. Here is why?
admin
First we need to focus on the Role of Stirrup or Tie bars in RCC column. Actions of tie bars as follows: 1. Ties are effective in restraining longitudinal bars from buckling out from their vertical alignment . 2. Ties ...
Difference Between Short Column & Long Column

Positioning of columns Following are some of the building principles, which help in deciding the columns positions. >Columns should preferably be located at (or) near the corners of a building, and at the intersection of beams/walls. >Select the position of ...
Column Interaction Curve
admin
What is a Column Interaction Curve? Vertical members that are part of a building frame are subjected to combined axial loads and bending moments. These forces develop due to external loads, such as dead, live, and wind loads. Simply put, an ...

Any student of structural engineering or new Structural Engineer has a desire to understand how structures are built and how they will react to environmental challenges like wind, earthquakes, floods and deterioration. But knowing your trade is not everything – ...
Equilibrium Torsion & Compatibility Torsion
admin
Equilibrium Torsion Equilibrium Torsion occurs when the torsional moment is required to be in equilibrium and maximum torsional moment (Tu) cannot be reduced by redistribution of moments. In this case the torsion reinforcement must be provided to resist all of ...
Proper Rebar Placement in Construction Site

We need to be careful about Rebar placement in construction site. We need to know which direction bar will be at bottom & which direction bar will be on top at the same layer of reinforcement. Placement of rebar depends ...
What is the difference between thin and thick shell?
admin
Shell problems generally fall into one of two categories: thin shell problems and thick shell problems. Thick shell problems assume that the effects of transverse shear deformation are important to the solution. Thin shell problems, on the other hand, assume ...
