In chapter 12 we explore the artistic development in Architecture. When conceptualizing a building architects incorporate three things: function‚ form‚ and structure. Function is how the building will be used‚ form is how the building looks‚ and structures is how the building remains standing. Architects need to design structures that hold up under any combination of three physical forces; compression‚ tension‚ and bending. To days architects have a plethora of materials at their disposal‚ they benefit

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Reinforced concrete is a strong‚ durable material that can be formed in too many varied shapes and sizes ranging from a simple rectangle column‚ to a slender curved dome or shell‚ its utility and versatility are achieved by combining the best features of concrete and steel. Its utility and versatility is achieved by combining the best features of concrete and steel. When combined‚ the steel is able to provide the tensile strength and probably

The fact that the tilt-up method is basic it reinforces the economical side of the process‚ utilizing only an in-situ concrete material it allows for the building to be constructed without much work‚ only the pre-fabrication of the wall and floor slabs and then pieced together to create a full body construction with almost no

PERFORMANCE OF CARDBOARD CARTON FORMS Abstract: Cardboard carton forms (void boxes) are commonly used to form the void space between the bottom of grade beams and slabs over expansive soils. However‚ other than laboratory compression tests and 100% humidity tests‚ there is little documentation for the actual performance of these boxes in place. This paper summarizes field tests done in an attempt to simulate actual conditions to answer the following questions: • Do the boxes deteriorate at

QUESTION 1 / SOALAN 1 The reinforced concrete beam shown in Figure 1 carries an imposed live load of 12kN/m2 and a dead load of 12 kN/m2 as shown in the diagram. Given‚ fcu = 30 N/mm2‚ fy = 460 N/mm2‚ fy‚ links = 250 N/mm2. The beam is exposed to a mild condition. a) Determine whether the beam is singly or doubly reinforced beam. b) Determine the main reinforcement for the beam using a design chart. c) Determine the shear reinforcement for the beam. d) Check whether the deflection

culverts‚ canals etc. is designing. Structural engineering has existed since humans first started to construct their own structures. The foremost basic in structural engineering is the design of simple basic components and members of a building viz.‚ Slabs‚ Beams‚ Columns and Footings. In order to design them‚ it is important to first obtain the plan of the particular building that is‚ positioning of the particular rooms (Drawing room‚ bed room‚ kitchen toilet etc.) such that they serve their respective

advantage it has established with the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA). I recommend pursuing the blanket approval process with HKHA. These efficiencies could prove beneficial for both parties as this will greatly reduce lead time and costs. Façade and slabs is the growing trend in the industry and will allow Unicon to take advantage of the cost savings that come with it. * No need for engineered documents‚ saving on time and engineering costs. * Job security * Operational efficiencies

provided in the case‚ one is lead to believe that Unicon can produce more than 7 blocks per year. I base this on the following analysis; Current production of facades is 25 per day assuming 1/ mold. Slab production is 64-101 per day depending on building configuration; take an average of 82.5 slabs/day. 1120

CHAPTER 7 WATER TANK 7.1 INTRODUCTION As per Greek philosopher Thales‚ “Water is the source of every creation.” In day to day life one cannot live without water. Therefore water needs to be stored for daily use. Over head water tank and underground water reservoir is the most effective storing facilities used for domestic or even industrial purpose. Depending upon the location of the tank the tanks can be named as overhead‚ on ground or underground. The tanks can be made in different shapes
