Horizontal stiffeners are generally not provided individually. They are used in addition to vertical stiffeners, which are provided close to the support to increase the bearing resistance and to improve […]
EK279
The critical sections for development of reinforcement in flexural members are: At points of maximum stress. At points where tension bars within the span are terminated or bent. At the […]
EK205
The procedure for checking the shear resistance of a concrete beam involves first verifying that the concrete has sufficient capacity at the face of the support. Reinforcement design is based […]
EK184
Bond and anchorage failure usually occurs when the slab is subjected to heavy concentrated loads near the support or when heavy loads are applied over a rather short span. The […]
EK99
The longitudinal tension bars contribute to the shear resistance by their dowelling action and they also help to prevent shear cracks from commencing at small tension cracks. To be effective, […]
