even if a single slab if there are beams on all sides, the slab does not behave as simply supported as
the slab ends are monolithic with end beams and the beams resist uplift of slab ends.

Respected Sir,
whether the summary takes the structure engineering
to somewhere at better position?
I think it does not unless and until we come out with some strong resolutions.
In my opinion ...

Respected all eminent structure engineers ,
most of the structure engineers have cited problems with
some solutions,Here I propose that a SWOT analysis be made and
a draft be floated to overcome t ...

ans1-while modelling take top of footing as start of column -say z=-1500,
for plinth level or ground beam or combination of ground and plinth beams
accordingly take height of column, for example gr ...

in RISA there is facility to define a beam with multiple nodes between supports
as a single element.
In Struds also a beam with intermediate nodes, beam is designed as single element
with point l ...

rcc structures r designed as per frame analysis .
Column sizes depend upon loads and spans and not decided by thumb rules / experience .
As per IS13920 for 5m or bigger spans the minimum size of col ...

any smooth surface with proper slope allows water to drain out, retained water tries to go where ever it finds weak paths.
water the smart one finds weakest points first and goes in the concrete.

the cracks may be due to other reasons as well like fine sand, fine sand with higher silt percent,higher wc ratio and higher temperature during casting and late curing.
behavior of bigger span slabs ...

respected all,
namaskar,
hearing to all learned ones its clear that strucutre engineers are getting least importance and least fee as well.
the reasons may be many but structure engineers do not l ...

i think on your own you can not alter the drawings, but the consultant can change the steel .moving steel towards neutral axis is to reduce stresses in the steel and hence you have to increase steel i ...
