CONCRETE MIX DESIGN :   A good concrete mix design creates the foundation of a sound infrastructure. Concrete mix design involves a process of preparation in which a mix of ingredients creates the required strength and durability for the concrete structure. Because every ingredient in the mix consists of different…

Calculation of loads as per IS Codes   INRODUCTION :  Size of the site = 10m x 15m Area of the site = 150 sq.m Built up area = 80.5 sq.m Facing = North facing Type of Building = Residential building Number of floors = 2 floors (Ground…

Q.1.ANSWER)   a)  Type of Failure =Ductile flexural failure  To prevent flexural failure, then beam should be well reinforced but not either over or under reinforced which lead to undesired failures regardless of the design of the section. There's nothing specifically provided to prevent such failures, care should be taken…

Q.1.Answer) To obtain the 1st column of the 3 x 3 matrix, we impose unit displacement in DOF u1, with u2 = u3 = 0.   The elements in the 2nd column of the matrix are determined by imposing u2 = 1, with u1 = u3 = 0.   The elements in the 3rd column of the matrix are determined by imposing u3 = 0,…

Q1.Answer)   To comment on the symmetry, the plan is symmetric about both the axis (x & y). The columns are placed in the every corner and at the intersections of walls may be. In the central part, I feel that there should have been the reduction in the number of columns. In the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rows, the beams…

Q.1.Answer)   a)  There are shear walls only in the corners of the plan as shown. There wont be effective bonding between the Moment resisting frame and Structural walls. And the corners should serve the purpose in the process of parking.  b) The positions of the structural walls in this plan seems to be…
