Concrete Concrete is an artificial stone-like material used for various structural purposes. It is made by mixing a binding material (as cement) and various aggregates (inert materials), such as sand, stone chips, brick chips, brick chips, pebbles, gravel, shale, etc with water and allowing the mixture to harden by hydration. Basic advantages and disadvantages of […]
Reinforced Concrete Beam Design : Failure Mode
In reinforced concrete beam design, failure is designed for safety. If the structure fails by sudden crushing, huge damage and loss of life may take place. So, it is designed so that structure would give a warning before collapse. Reinforced concrete beam failure may take place in 3 ways. Concrete failure: Crushing of concrete Steel […]
Reinforced Cement Concrete : Advantages of RCC
RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) is the combination of using steel and concrete instead of using only concrete to offset some limitations. Concrete is weak in tensile stress with compared to its compressive stress. To offset this limitation, steel reinforcement is used in the concrete at the place where the section is […]
