The Truth About Concealed Concrete Beams

Posted on 31 July 20206 August 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Concealed concrete beams are beams whose depth are kept equal to the thickness of the supported slab. They are normally reinforced separately from the slab, having longitudinal bars and stirrups like a drop beam.

Designing Concrete Elements for Torsion

Posted on 28 June 202028 June 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Torsion in structures is something that is best avoided as far as possible. This is because the twisting of structural elements generates large internal forces which result in a significant increase in element sizes and possibly even change in form

Design of Steel Elements in Tension to Eurocode

Posted on 8 June 20208 June 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Steel elements are often required to sustain tensile forces, these elements are referred to as tension members or tie. Example of tension members includes steel bracings in buildings, roof truss members, cables et

Designing a Laterally Unrestrained Steel Beam

Posted on 5 June 20205 June 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Laterally unrestrained steel beams are beams in which the compression flange do not have sufficient restraint and as a result susceptible to lateral-torsional buckling, a failure mechanism of steel beams due to buckling

Designing a Laterally Restrained Steel Beam

Posted on 2 June 20202 June 2020 by Omotoriogun Victor

Understanding the design of steel beams depend to a large extent on whether the compression flange is laterally restrained or not. This is because when a steel beam is subjected to flexure, there is a tendency for it to buckle along its length.

Posted on 16 May 202010 October 2021 by Omotoriogun Victor

Thus, one of the methods of ensuring lateral stability and avoiding excessive lateral deflection is by deploying shear walls across the width of the building to resist the lateral forces.

Posted on 11 May 202019 September 2021 by Omotoriogun Victor

Flat slabs are reinforced concrete slabs supported directly on columns, without beams. They are sometimes thickened at the columns to form column drops.
