Shear in structural member

February 26, 2020February 26, 2020 Technical Civil

The section of a structural member may be subjected to shear force due to flexure, punching or torsion. Accordingly, the shear may be flexural shear, punching shear or torsional shear. Flexural shear: The shear associated with change of bending moment along the span is known as flexural shear. The beams are usually subjected to flexural shear. For beams, the flexural shear is commonly referred as ‘shear’. Punching shear: The shear associated with the possibility of punching a thin member by a concentrated wall load, a beam-less floor slab supported directly…

Steps involved in the process of Designing a Builiding

March 30, 2019March 31, 2019 Technical Civil

The construction of any structure involves many steps. Although the structural designer is not responsible for each of these steps, he should be involved in most of them so that the resulting structure is safe, stable, serviceable, durable, and is economically viable and aesthetically pleasing, and does not have an adverse impact on the environment. The necessary steps may be listed as follows: After receiving the plan and elevation of the building from the architect and the soil report from the geotechnical engineer, the structural engineer estimates the probable loads…

Influence Line Diagram

March 3, 2019March 30, 2019 Technical Civil

What is Influence Line Diagram? It’s a diagram which shows the reactions, Shear force and Bending moment at each and every section or instant at any distance of any span that you want to find out. In short, Influence Line Diagram shows the influence or effect of loads or reaction on the span. Importance of Influence Line Diagram: Since, its very time consuming and tedious to find out the reactions, shear force and bending moment with our regular or conventional method of analysis. But ILD is the quick and simple…

Bar Bending Schedule (BBS)
