Beam Stirrups Design Example Using ASDIP CONCRETE

 


Dear ASDIP Customer:
The design of concrete beams is time-consuming. It involves the calculation of the shears for the factored load combinations. These forces in turn must be smaller than the provided design shear strength at any point of the beam, and in addition the design must comply with a number of code limitations.

I have prepared a blog post with a short video, where I show how to design the stirrups along a typical continuous beam using ASDIP CONCRETE quick and easily. You are invited to read this blog post and watch the video.

What You Must Know About Concrete Foundation Anchor Bolt

An anchor bolt is an essential element in the structural construction field. The primary element of anchor bolts is to move loads from an anchor (ledgers, sills, and plate bearings) to the masonry. A robust anchor bolt design allows both shear transfer and pressure to withstand construction forces. This is used to connect objects or constructs to material, to put it in plain terms. Various types of anchor bolts can be found on the market today, which consists mostly of variants that are largely unique to the manufacturing company. You can find a hooked end in most of the designs, connected to which is about being a nut and a washer. They can be of assistance to external loading. In a range of economic projects, anchor bolts are widely common, from traditional frameworks to dams and nuclear energy projects.

Pile Cap In Constructions and Designs

What Are Pile Caps? Pile caps are thick reinforced concrete maps that tend to rest on top of concrete or wooden piles to offer good stability to the foundation. So, the primary purpose of the construction of the  pile caps  is to distribute the load of the column, which seems to be significant for large constructions. The exact dimensions of the pile caps are determined by the loads and strategic arrangement of the methodology of the structure and foundation. The shape of the pile cap is observed and calculated by the number of piles within the group and the very spacing between each one of the piles.  The function of a Pile Cap: To evenly distribute a single load emerging from the column to the piles.  Further, stabilizing the pile, resulting in the overall efficiency of the pile group. Providing the joint resistance stresses established by the superstructure along with the ground movement.  Considerable Features of Pile Caps: A
