WORKING STRESS, ULTIMATE LOAD, AND LIMIT STATE METHODS-ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW Working Stress method This method of design was the oldest one. It is based on the elastic theory and assumes that both steel and concrete and elastic obey Hook’s law. It means that the stress is directly proportional to strain up to the […]

LONGITUDINAL SKIN REINFORCEMENT-ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW Longitudinal skin reinforcement is deformed rebar, wire, or bonded prestressed reinforcing bars evenly placed on either side of the vertical surface of the tensile region in a relatively deep beam to control the width of the crack. If the deep beam is not provided with such reinforcement, the crack width

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOOTING AND FOUNDATION Footing:- A footing is the part of the foundation which supports it and transfers the load to the larger area on soil, so it safe the foundation from the settlement. It is generally provided with reinforcement and cast with concrete. Footings are majorly used in conjunction with shallow foundations commonly. The width and depth of any footing mainly depend on the
