• RAM Concept: As (after reduction for development length)

    I am working on one-way slab supported by mild reinforced concrete beams. The beam is trimmed as a T-section with flange width of 99". I drew #4 at 18" (full slab area) on top of the slab in the direction parallel to the beam, which make 5-#4 (total As…
  • Axial force on non-PT mild reinforced beams under dead and live load cases

    I am modeling a one-way concrete slab. PT girders are in perimeter and in the north-south direction, and mild reinforced infill concrete beam in the east-west direction. When I checked mild reinforced concrete design, I noticed the cross-section at end…
  • RE: RAM Concept - Beam Torsion

    "As Shear" is appropriate for situations where the torsion is primarily caused by vertical shear eccentric from the "shear core" of the cross section (for a typical cross section with a beam, the "shear core" is the beam cross section). "As Shear" will…
