A chair bar is a piece of bar bent to a shape (inverted U or Z) and placed in between the two layers of reinforcement mesh. They are provided to maintain the gap the layers of the reinforcement bar. They also contribute to the stability of reinforcement bar while concrete is pouring.
Structural drawings are a sets of engineering drawing prepared by the certified engineer for designed buildings or any other structure which demand it. The sets of drawing should consist for every detail drawing of the structure components and buildings elements. This is the last stage in the structural design by the structure engineer. The structural design and analysis is done for the given architectural design. It is very crucial to do through study of the propose architecture drawing before designing and analysing
All types of masonry buildings shall be strengthened by specific methods depending on various categories…
Beams are horizonBeams are horizontal structural member which transfer loads horizontally along their length to the supports. Eventually the loads are resolved into vertical forces through the column. When the load is applied on the beam, it causes bending moments and shear forces along their length. Thus, beams are used for resisting vertical loads, shear forces and bending moments.
The beams are defined as the structural members subjected to transverse loads that cause bending moments and shear forces along their length. There are different types of beam uses in the structures. In this article we will categorize based on the construction materials, support arrangement, and other special aspects. Let’s discuss each type of categorization in detail.
