Working Stress Method/ Allowable Stress Design

Working stress method is used for the design of Reinforced concrete, Steel and Timber structures. The main assumption in the WSM is that…

Design Load Combinations

After establishing the design loads of the proposed project, the next thing to consider is to determine the appropriate design load combinations.…

What Is Modal Analysis?

The most common type of analysis is quasi-static analysis, where the load is applied at a very slow rate so…

Earthquake Load

Earthquake load takes place due to the inertia force produced in the building because of seismic excitations. Inertia force is…

Prestressed Concrete in Building

Prestressed Concrete Prestressed concrete is a method for overcoming concrete’s natural weakness in tension. Prestressing tendons (generally of high tensile…

Wind Loads of Structures

In some areas, wind load is an important consideration when designingand building a barn or other structure. Wind load is…

construction loads

I believe Temporary Structure Design is truly the most important topic for construction engineers. I think this is the reason…

LIVE LOADS VS. DEAD LOADS IN STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Structural design is all about calculating loads. The engineering firm Nishkian offers a succinct description: “Loads are commonly understood as forces that…

Gravity Loads

Gravity loads are the vertical forces that act on a structure. The weight of the structure, human occupancy and snow are…

Different grades of concrete :

Different grades of concrete has different Concrete Mix proportions which means different concrete mix ratios. As Per IS456:2000,  the Concrete mix design…

Concrete Mix Design:-

Concrete is a composite mixture which consists of Cement, Sand and Aggregate. Concrete mix design is the procedure for finding…
