Strength and stiffness does not appear to be sensitive to the spacing of the ducts.
Strength and stiffness does not appear to be sensitive to the spacing of the ducts.
For reinforced slabs on ground, control joint spacing normally varies from 9 m to 24 m. The percentage of reinforcement increases with an increase in joint spacing.
Control joint spacing for plain (unreinforced) slabs on ground should not exceed: 24 slab thicknesses for concrete made with less than 19 mm maximum size coarse aggregate. 30 slab thicknesses […]
A reinforced concrete beam will initially behave elastically throughout, as the applied uniform moment is increased. When the limiting tensile strain for the concrete is reached a crack will form, […]
