Design to BS 8110

The method of beam design for torsion with worked example is debussed in this article. There are basic steps to […]

The concrete beam is one of the basic elements in a structure. Concrete columns and concrete slabs are the other

Cover to reinforcement is a key factor taken into account in the design and construction. It is directly related to

Singly Reinforced Section design Beam design can be done for different codes depending on specific requirements. Before designing a beam,

Slab design is comparatively easy when compared with the design of other elements. The first stage of the design is

Design for shear is one vital thing to look at when designing structural elements. Cracks will appear and give sufficient

Punching shear around the columns, piles, etc. It usually checked in footings, raft foundations, pile caps, flat slabs, etc. The

Design strength for BS 8110 The design strength of material for different cases is tabulated in the BS 8110 Part

According to BS 8110, the concrete strain is limited to 0.0035 and the yielding of steel is considered as 0.002
