Worked Example | Design of RC beams for Torsion (EN 1992-1:2004)
A full torsional design covering the ultimate and serviceability limit states is required when the equilibrium of a structure is dependent on the torsional...
Uplift Verification of Underground Structures
It is widely recognised that an object will float in water if the weight is less than the upthrust. Upthrust is an upward force...
How to Calculate the Anchorage and Lap Length of Steel Reinforcements According to Eurocode...
Reinforcing bars should be well anchored so that the bond forces are safely transmitted to the concrete to avoid longitudinal cracking or spalling. Transverse...

Filter Media in Road Construction: A Solution to Defects Caused by Water Seepage
Have you ever pondered the detrimental effect of water seepage on road pavements? It is common knowledge among engineers that frequent water seepage can...
Design of Beam and Raft Foundation
A beam and raft foundation is a special type of shallow foundation where ground beams are incorporated into the raft slab along the column...
Seepage of Water into Excavations
Groundwater is typically regarded as one of the most challenging problems encountered during excavation for civil engineering construction works. To control seepage of water...
Deflection of Structures According to Eurocode 2
