AASHTO T-4 Proposed Guide Specifications for Wind Loads on Bridges During Con...Arkar43
The document summarizes a presentation given at the 2016 AASHTO SCOBS T4 meeting proposing guide specifications for wind loads on bridges during construction. The presentation outlined differences between current AASHTO provisions for completed bridges and those needed for bridges under construction, when the deck is not yet cast. It proposed determining wind loads based on whether work is active or inactive, provided drag coefficients for different girder positions, and recommended reducing wind speeds based on construction duration. The goal is to develop standalone guide specifications to replace Section 3.8 of the design specifications for wind loads during bridge construction.
This document discusses trusses, which are triangular frameworks used to span long distances efficiently. There are two main types - plane trusses where members lie in one plane, and space trusses where members are oriented in three dimensions. Trusses are used in roofs, floors, walls, and bridges to efficiently resist loads through axial member forces. They consist of various configurations like pitched roof, parallel chord, and trapezoidal trusses. Truss members can be rolled steel sections or built-up sections. Loads include dead, live, wind, and earthquake loads. Joints connect members and transfer axial forces, with gusset plates used when direct connection is not possible.

It analyzes slabs of varying panel sizes from 9x9m to 12x12m under different loading conditions using software. The PT slabs were found to have higher moment capacity, require less concrete thickness and rebar, and provide better serviceability than RC slabs. Construction photos of completed PT slab projects are also shown. The document concludes that PT slabs are more cost effective for building floor systems compared to RC flat slabs.

The document outlines the various structural elements that will be designed, including flat slab structural systems, column types and design, shear wall design, and pile foundation design.
The document discusses the use of computer programs like STAAD Pro for structural design and analysis. It explains how earlier structural designs were done manually using slide rules and calculators but computers now allow for more accurate analysis of frames, beams and modeling of entire buildings in 3D. STAAD Pro is highlighted as a powerful program that can be used for 3D modeling and analysis of multi-storied buildings, offering various analysis types and design capabilities for steel, concrete and other materials according to different codes.
Shear walls are structural elements found in buildings that provide strength and stiffness to resist lateral forces like wind and earthquakes. They run continuously from the foundation to the top of the building and can range in thickness from 150mm to 400mm. Shear walls carry large horizontal loads during earthquakes and work together with beams, columns, and moment frames to resist seismic forces in different directions. Reinforcing concrete structures with external steel shear walls is an effective technique for strengthening existing buildings by improving seismic capacity, base shear capacity, and stiffness while also reducing costs and construction time compared to other methods.
This a basic way to compare two or more codes weather it is a wind or earthquake or any other thing. hope this will help many people. for more u can contact me via linkedin.

This document summarizes the key aspects of loadbearing masonry construction. It discusses the advantages of masonry, including its ability to provide structure, insulation, and fire protection simultaneously. It also describes the development of modern codes of practice, which have expanded the use of loadbearing masonry beyond empirical rules to the rational design of multi-storey buildings. The document outlines basic design considerations for loadbearing masonry, such as compatible building typologies, and provides a high-level classification of masonry wall systems.
The document discusses trussed tube structures, which use diagonal bracing on the exterior of the building. This bracing transfers both gravity and lateral loads, allowing the structure to resist wind and seismic forces more effectively. It eliminates the need for interior columns, increasing interior space flexibility. Examples given are the John Hancock Center, with distinctive x-bracing that absorbs forces in all dimensions, and the Onterie Center, with perimeter diagonal shear walls that allow for fewer, more widely spaced columns and larger windows than framed tube structures.
A shear wall is a vertical structural element used to resist horizontal forces such as wind and seismic forces. Shear walls are generally used in high-rise buildings where the effects of wind and seismic forces are more significant. Shear walls are usually provided along both the length and width of buildings and act like vertically-oriented beams that carry earthquake loads downwards to the foundation. Common types of shear walls include reinforced concrete, concrete block, steel, plywood, and mid-ply shear walls. Shear walls must provide the necessary lateral strength to resist horizontal earthquake forces and lateral stiffness to prevent excessive side-sway of the structure.
This document summarizes structural elements and their arrangements in architecture. It discusses key structural components like beams, columns, walls, trusses, and frames. It also describes different structural systems like load-bearing walls, frame structures, and form-active structures. Different joint types like discontinuous and continuous are also outlined. Historical context is provided by discussing Vitruvius' three principles of architecture. The relationship between architectural and structural design is examined through examples.

Dampers Seismic Design – مخمدات الزلازل وانواعها في تخميد وتشتيت طاقة الزلازل Dr.Youssef Hammida
Seismic isolation is an important and effective method for rehabilitating buildings and roads to resist earthquakes. There are different types of seismic dampers according to their design and specifications. Seismic dampers do not prevent or stop earthquakes but soften their intensity by absorbing and dispersing earthquake energy to reduce distortions and deviations in buildings. Seismic dampers can be divided into three types: compression dampers that rely on compressible materials inside cylinders; friction dampers that operate between connecting elements; and flexible dampers that rely on compliant linking elements. The paper provides illustrations to further explain how these damper types absorb and disperse energy.
This document provides an overview of steel structures. It defines steel as an alloy of iron with carbon and other elements.

It also notes some disadvantages like maintenance costs and reduced strength in fires. Finally, it discusses common steel sections, connection types, and provides examples of famous steel buildings.
Composite structure of concrete and steel.Suhailkhan204
This document discusses composite structures, which combine steel and concrete materials. The key elements of composite structures are composite deck slabs, beams, and columns, along with shear connectors. Composite structures take advantage of concrete's compressive strength and steel's tensile strength. They provide benefits like increased load capacity, stiffness, fire resistance, and cost savings compared to traditional steel or concrete construction alone. An example project, the Millennium Tower in Vienna, is described. The document analyzes costs and concludes that composite structures are best suited for high-rise buildings due to reduced weight, increased ductility, and savings of around 10% compared to reinforced concrete.
Reinforced concrete uses steel reinforcement bars embedded in concrete to resist tensile stresses that concrete cannot withstand on its own. The document discusses the composition, properties, and uses of plain cement concrete (PCC) and reinforced cement concrete (RCC). It explains that PCC is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregate and water, while RCC includes steel reinforcement to improve the concrete's tensile strength. The document also covers reinforcement techniques, types of reinforcing steel, mix proportions, characteristics of concrete structures, and ready-mix concrete.

This document discusses the design of one-way slabs. It begins by defining one-way slabs as slabs that are supported on two opposite sides and carry loads perpendicularly to the supporting beams. The document then outlines the design process, which involves analyzing representative strips of the slab as simple beams and determining reinforcement ratios. Key steps include checking deflection, calculating factored loads, drawing shear and moment diagrams, and selecting reinforcement sizes that satisfy the required ratios. Examples of one-way slab design and the minimum requirements for thickness, reinforcement ratios, and cover are also provided.
The use of post-tensioning system in building offers numerous advantages such as economic savings, minimised floor-to-floor heights, increased column-free space, minimised foundations, in seismic areas, reduced weight and lateral load resisting systems, simplified slab design and construction etc.
Post-tensioning is simply a method of producing prestressed concrete, masonry, and other structural elements. Post-tensioning is a form of prestressing. Prestressing simply means that the steel is stressed (pulled or tensioned) before the concrete has to support the service loads. Most precast, prestressed concrete is actually pre-tensioned-the steel is pulled before the concrete is poured. Post-tensioned concrete means that the concrete is poured and then the tension is applied-but it is still stressed before the loads are applied so it is still prestressed.
This document summarizes research on post-tensioning in buildings. It details the history of post-tensioning from its origins in the 1940s-1950s to its use in the first high-rise building with post-tensioned slabs in 1956. The document then discusses the benefits of post-tensioned slabs and methodology used in the research, including monitoring a construction site. Test results are presented analyzing properties of post-tensioned concrete mixes. The research concludes that post-tensioned slabs provide construction speed and cost benefits compared to reinforced concrete.
_Anthony_05010480 Msc Dissertation Design prestressed concrete to Eurocode 2Anthony Rochefort
This document is a dissertation submitted by Anthony Rochefort for the degree of Master of Science in Structural Engineering. It examines the effects of temperature on prestressed concrete members designed according to Eurocode 2. The dissertation includes an introduction, literature review on prestressed concrete and the Eurocodes, analysis of temperature effects, creep and shrinkage effects, loss of prestress, design methodology, examples, and conclusions. The key issues addressed are temperature gradients causing stresses, loss of concrete strength at high temperatures, compensating through increased prestressing and concrete strength, and evaluating prestress loss according to Eurocode provisions.
An elevated platform was constructed on top of an existing parking structure in Flushing, New York in order to build two tennis courts and a multi-sport court. The existing parking structure had inappropriate slopes and weight restrictions that prevented adjusting the slopes through traditional means. The elevated platform used rigid foam insulation boards and plywood to adjust the slopes to suit tennis courts while staying within weight limits. A post-tensioned concrete slab was then constructed atop the platform to withstand the loads and movements of both the platform and underlying parking structure.

In post-tension, the concrete units are first cast by incorporating ducts or grooves to house the tendons .when the concrete attains sufficient strength, the high-tensile wires are tensioned by means of jack bearing on the end face of the member and anchored by wedges or nuts.
This document provides a design manual for post-tensioned concrete structures according to various international design codes. It begins with an introduction to post-tensioning systems and methodology. Subsequent chapters cover computing prestress losses, loads due to post-tensioning, and automated tendon layout. The bulk of the document presents design code requirements and procedures for beams, slabs, flexure, shear, punching and more according to codes such as ACI, AS3600, BS8110, CSA and Eurocode.
Cable Layout, Continuous Beam & Load Balancing MethodMd Tanvir Alam
This document provides information on cable layout and load balancing methods for prestressed concrete beams. It discusses layouts for simple, continuous, and cantilever beams. For simple beams, it describes layouts for pretensioned and post-tensioned beams, including straight, curved, and bent cable configurations. It also compares the load carrying capacities of simple and continuous beams. The document concludes by explaining the load balancing method for design, using examples of how to balance loads in simple, cantilever, and continuous beam configurations.
This document discusses continuous beam design in civil engineering. It defines a continuous beam as a statically indeterminate multi-span beam supported by hinges. Continuous beams are made to increase structural integrity by connecting spans over supports. Advantages include reduced member size, but disadvantages include increased friction loss and difficulty achieving continuity in precast elements. Methods for analyzing continuous beams include determining resisting moments and using load balancing techniques. Cable layouts and profiles are also discussed for prestressing tendons in simple, pretensioned, post-tensioned, cantilever, and continuous beams.
CE 72.32 (January 2016 Semester) Lecture 4 - Selection of Structural SystemsFawad Najam
This document discusses structural systems for tall buildings and floor systems. It begins by providing historical context on how understanding of structural design has changed with scale, with Galileo being the first to recognize this. The four key principles of tall building design are then outlined. Different types of structural systems are classified based on material and construction method. Reinforced concrete building elements and vertical and lateral load resisting systems are described. Finally, various common floor system types like flat plates, waffle slabs, and beam and slab systems are presented.
Prestressed concrete is concrete that is placed under compression using tensioned steel strands, cables, or bars. This is done through either pre-tensioning or post-tensioning. In pre-tensioning, the steel components are tensioned before the concrete is poured, while in post-tensioning, the steel components are tensioned after the concrete has hardened. Prestressed concrete provides benefits over reinforced concrete like lower construction costs, thinner structural elements, and longer spans between supports.
This document discusses prestressed concrete, which involves applying an initial compressive load to concrete before it experiences tensile stresses from use. Prestressing concrete improves its strength in tension. There are two main types: pre-tensioned concrete uses steel tendons that are tensioned before the concrete is cast around them, while post-tensioned concrete uses tendons tensioned after the concrete is cast. Prestressing concrete allows for longer spans and greater loads than ordinary reinforced concrete.
This document summarizes the key aspects of flat slab construction and design according to Indian code IS 456-2000. It defines flat slabs as slabs that are directly supported by columns without beams, and describes four common types based on whether drops and column heads are used. The main topics covered include guidelines for proportioning slabs and drops, methods for determining bending moments and shear forces, requirements for slab reinforcement, and an example problem demonstrating the design of an interior flat slab panel.
Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel strands or bars to place concrete in compression before application of service loads. This counters the tensile stresses induced by loads and prevents cracking. There are two main methods: pre-tensioning applies tension before pouring concrete, while post-tensioning tensions strands after concrete curing. Pre-stressed concrete allows for smaller and lighter structures that resist loads, deflection, and cracking better than reinforced concrete.
Precast concrete construction involves casting concrete structural elements at a manufacturing facility rather than on site. This allows for rapid construction, high quality control, and easy incorporation of prestressing. Precast concrete provides advantages like speed of erection, durability, and economy, but also has disadvantages such as weight, limited flexibility in design, and need for skilled workmanship and lifting equipment on site. Common precast concrete elements include walls, slabs, beams, and structural framing using techniques like welded plates and rebar splicing.
This document discusses methods of prestressing concrete, including pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before concrete is poured around them. Post-tensioning involves stressing steel tendons inserted into voids in cured concrete using jacks. Both methods put the concrete in compression and improve its tensile strength. Common applications include building floors/roofs, bridges, and parking structures.
This document discusses different methods of prestressing concrete, including pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before placing concrete around them, while post-tensioning involves stressing tendons after the concrete has cured using hydraulic jacks. Post-tensioning allows for longer spans, thinner slabs, and more architectural freedom compared to conventional reinforced concrete or pretensioned concrete. Common applications of post-tensioning include parking structures, bridges, and building floors and roofs.
Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel cables or rods to put concrete members under compression and increase their strength. It allows for longer spans than reinforced concrete. There are three methods: pre-tensioned concrete uses tensioned tendons before pouring concrete; bonded post-tensioned concrete uses tendons tensioned after pouring; unbonded post-tensioned concrete uses individually coated tendons without bonding to the concrete. Prestressed concrete has advantages like less cracking and material efficiency but also disadvantages like higher costs.
The document provides information on methods of prestressing in concrete, including pretensioning and post-tensioning. It discusses:
- Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before the concrete is cast around them.
- Post-tensioning involves stressing steel tendons after the concrete has cured using jacks, then grouting the voids.
- Both methods put the concrete in compression and increase its strength and durability compared to conventional reinforced concrete.

This document provides information about prestressed concrete, specifically focusing on post-tensioning methods. It defines post-tensioning as a method of reinforcing concrete with high-strength steel strands called tendons. After the concrete cures, the tendons are tensioned using hydraulic jacks and wedged into place to transfer pressure to the concrete. There are benefits to post-tensioning like allowing longer spans, thinner structures, and reduced cracking compared to conventional reinforced concrete. The document discusses bonded and unbonded post-tensioning methods and provides examples of applications like buildings, bridges, and parking structures.
Post formed holes-in_post-tensioned_slabsCCL Concrete
Post-tensioned concrete slabs can accommodate post-formed holes and openings through careful planning and execution. Smaller holes under 20mm diameter can often be cut without affecting tendons. Larger openings are possible if located between tendons to avoid cutting them. When tendons must be cut, strengthening and temporary supports are needed. Bonded tendon slabs can be altered similarly to reinforced concrete, with tendon bond redeveloping within 1m of cuts. Unbonded tendon slabs require detensioning or propping near cuts due to loss of prestress over the whole length. With proper engineering and specialist work, post-tensioned slabs can safely accommodate new openings.
This document discusses prestressed concrete and defines key terms like pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stretching steel tendons before concrete is poured, while post-tensioning stretches steel inserted into hardened concrete. The document covers advantages of prestressing like reduced cracking and member sizes. It also discusses design considerations like prestress losses from shrinkage, creep, and relaxation. Both pretensioning and post-tensioning methods are outlined, along with tendon types like bars, wires, and strands.
Post-tensioning is a method of reinforcing (strengthening) concrete or other materials with high-strength steel strands or bars, typically referred to as tendons. Post-tensioning applications include office and apartment buildings, parking structures, slabs-on-ground, bridges, sports stadiums, rock and soil anchors, and water-tanks.

This document discusses prestressed concrete, which uses steel that is tensioned to put concrete in compression and increase its strength. There are two main types: pre-tensioned concrete, where steel is tensioned before the concrete is poured; and post-tensioned concrete, where steel is tensioned after the concrete has hardened. Post-tensioned concrete can be bonded or unbonded. Prestressed concrete allows for longer spans, thinner sections, and increased strength over traditional reinforced concrete. It has applications in buildings, bridges, parking structures, and other structures.
This document provides an outline for lectures on prestressed concrete, including basic concepts, materials, flexural analysis, design considerations, shear/torsion, loss of prestress over time, composite beams, and deflections. Key points covered include how prestressing controls cracking by applying compressive stresses to concrete before service loads; common prestressing methods of pre-tensioning and post-tensioning; estimating stresses in uncracked concrete beams using elastic theory; and accounting for various load stages in analysis and design.

IRJET- Comparative Study of Flat Slab and Conventional Slab Structure wit...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes a study that analyzes and compares the seismic performance of flat slab and conventional slab structures with and without shear walls. A 15-story commercial building was modeled in ETABS and analyzed under seismic loads. The objectives were to identify the most effective structure for resisting lateral loads, the most vulnerable structure, and compare the displacement, drift, stiffness, overturning moment, and period of structures with and without shear walls. Key results showed that flat slab structures with shear walls had better displacement resistance than conventional slab structures. Displacement increased with building height. Story drift was highest for conventional slabs and lowest for flat slabs with shear walls. Conventional slab structures were stiffer than flat slab structures.

This document discusses different structural systems used for high-rise buildings, focusing on steel framing systems. It describes shear frames, which provide lateral stiffness through moment connections, and shear truss-frame systems, which combine shear frames with vertical trusses. Outrigger and belt truss systems connect vertical trusses to perimeter frames to improve stiffness. Framed tube systems use closely spaced columns and spandrel beams to create tube-like behavior. Developments in steel, like tailor-made beams and high-strength steels, have enabled taller and more efficient structures. The document provides examples of different structural systems used in high-rise building designs.

5. real benefits...
CCL post-tensioned slab systems are the first choice for many architects, contractors and
engineers around the world. The intelligent use of post-tensioning technology by CCL’s
experienced engineers can bring bespoke solutions to suit each unique situation.
Architectural Intelligence
Structural Reliability
CCL post-tensioned slabs can bring unique freedom over
conventional building methods. Stronger, more efficient floor slab
design creates longer spans and reduces the need for columns
within the structure.
CCL post-tensioned slabs show reduced cracking for improved
durability and lower maintenance costs. Their deflection can be
controlled by varying the amount of post-tensioning to balance
any portion of applied loads immediately after stressing.
Commercial Opportunities
Increasing Popularity
CCL post-tensioning results in thinner concrete slabs making the
valuable savings in floor to floor height available as additional
floors. This can provide extra rentable space within the same
overall building height.
The growth in the use of CCL post-tensioned slabs throughout
the world continues to accelerate because of the significant
benefits for developers, architects, engineers, contractors and
end-users.
Sustainable Fundamentals
Early Planning
A CCL designed post-tensioned slab can contain less concrete
(20% - 30%), less reinforcement and less complicated rebar
shaping than conventional reinforced concrete slabs.
To obtain maximum benefit from CCL post-tensioned slabs it is
recommended that they are incorporated into the building
structure at early design stage.
5
6. realising...
Post-tensioning provides a means to overcome the natural weakness of concrete in tension
and to make better use of its strength in compression.
The principle is easily observed when holding together several books by
pressing them laterally. Under such pressure the whole row gains
enough stiffness and strength to ensure its integrity.
In concrete structures, this is achieved by placing high tensile steel
tendons/cables in the element before casting. When the concrete reaches
the desired strength, the tendons are pulled by special hydraulic jacks and
held in tension using specially designed anchorages fixed at each end of
the tendon.
This provides compression at the edge of the structural member that
increases the strength of the concrete for resisting tension stresses.
Tension in concrete
produces cracking
If tendons are appropriately curved to a certain profile, they will exert, in
addition to compression at the perimeter, a beneficial upward set of forces
(load balancing forces) that will counteract applied loads, relieving the
structure from a portion of gravity effects.

8. structural design...
Post-tensioning tendons are virtually replaced
in the slab by the set of forces they exert
on it: compression along the slab perimeter,
upward forces in the spans and downward
forces over the supports.
Several elastic methods of analysis can be
used to determine stresses in slabs under
gravity loads and equivalent post-tensioning
actions such as the Equivalent Frame Method
(EFM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM).
Stresses and deflections resulting from the
elastic analysis are checked under Service
Limit State (SLS) against allowable values
imposed by the adopted code of practice.

DISTRIBUTION
Typical Tendon Distributions
Other distributions can be accommodated depending
upon constructability issues and code requirements.
Critical sections are checked under Ultimate
Limit State (ULS) and, where a lack of
resistance occurs, the addition of localised
reinforcement is used to compensate.
The punching shear is checked and if the
corresponding resistance is insufficient, it is
catered for by additional reinforcement, shear
studs or increased concrete thickness
(drop caps).
When an analysis is satisfactorily completed,
structural detailing is carried out to show
the layout and the dimensions of the slab,
the distribution and profiles of the tendons,
details of ordinary reinforcement, jacking
forces and corresponding elongations in
tendons due to stressing.

10. monostrand unbonded systems...
CCL’s unbonded single strand tendon system is quick to install; tendons can be easily
deflected to avoid openings and to cope with irregular slab shapes. The system has
reduced friction losses and increased eccentricity. It requires no grouting.
UNCOVER THE TRUE POTENTIAL OF YOUR BUILDING
Single low relaxation PC 7-wire strands of 13mm or 15mm diameter
are coated with permanent corrosion-inhibiting grease and encased
in High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sheathing, continuously
extruded over the entire strand length to form a single strand
tendon.
Tendons are laid in the slab according to specific profiles before
pouring concrete.
The grease reduces friction and the sheathing allows for free relative
movement of the strand with respect to the surrounding concrete
during stressing. Both grease and sheathing provide long-term
corrosion protection to the steel.
The strands are individually anchored at both ends to CCL
unbonded monostrand anchorages that are embedded in the
concrete to transfer compression to the slab after stressing.
Plastic reusable fittings facilitate the fixing of live anchorages to
the side shutters. Pocket formers are used to provide access for
stressing at the edge of the slab.
Stressing is performed using CCL special hydraulic jacks.
Plastic caps filled with corrosion-inhibiting grease seal the strand end
after stressing and cropping.

11
12. multi-strand bonded flat slab systems...
CCL bonded systems incorporate groups of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 strands contained within a tendon
in a flat duct anchored at each end by CCL flat nchorages. This allows the tendons to be
positioned close to the surface to obtain maximum eccentricity within the slab.
The tendons are laid in the slab according to specific profiles
before pouring concrete. Ducts allow for free relative
movement of the strand with respect to the surrounding
concrete during stressing.
After the strands are locked within the anchorage by the
wedge, they are individually stressed with CCL hydraulic jacks.
The ducts are then filled with a cement-based grout to fully
bond the strands to the concrete through the duct wall and
all along the length of the tendon.
The grout creates an alkaline environment around the steel
for permanent corrosion protection.
The strands are attached at one end to a CCL flat anchorage,
and can be left exposed at the other end and embedded
in the concrete through enough length that ensures their
anchoring by bonding.
CCL’s bonded system requires a reduced amount of ordinary
reinforcement as bonding allows the strands to reach higher
stress at ultimate state.
