In designing a foundation, it is advisable to consider different types of alternative substructures and arrive at an economically feasible solution. In the following sections, the design of a number of commonly used reinforced concrete foundation system types is presented.
This text examines all major concrete, steel, and composite building systems, and uses the most up-to-date building codes.
15 sty 2014 · Understanding the complex interactions of the building pressure field - the air pressure regime within and surrounding the building - helps explain the increasingly common failures related to: indoor air quality, sick building syndrome, building related illness;
Understanding the significance of the complex flow and pressure distribution problems created by the interaction of the building envelope with the mechanical system and climate can lead to changes in building design, commissioning, operations, maintenance, diagnostics and rehabilitation.
Findings from the case studies relating to compressive strength, pumping, pumpability, workability, congested cages, lateral pressure on formwork, elastic modulus, shrinkage, creep, mass...
engineers in reinforced concrete design of low-rise struc-tures of small to medium floor areas. This guide presents: (a) Information in the order needed in the course of a design; (b) Explanatory material at appropriate places; (c) Computations only requiring a hand calculator; (d) Graphs and graphical explanations;
Concrete compressive strength — measured maximum resistance of a concrete specimen to axial compressive loading and expressed as a force per unit cross-sectional area. Consolidation — the process of reducing the volume of voids, air pockets, and entrapped air in a fresh cementitious mixture, usually accomplished by inputting mechanical energy.
