A Study on the Capacity of Wide RC Beams

In this research work, computation of strength capacity of wide reinforced concrete (RC) beams was studied. Four design codes, ACI 318M-08, Eurocode 2-2004, AASHTO-2005, and CSA-2004, were adopted and used for the calculation. The computed results obtained from these codes were also compared with experimental results conducted by researchers, Khalil et al. (2019), and Shuraim…

Cost Comparative Study between Beam-Supported Slabs and Flat Plate Systems

In present era, beam-supported slabs systems using reinforced concrete are commonly used for the construction. The use of flat plate building provides many advantages over beam-supported slabs building in terms of architectural flexibility, use of space, easier form work and shorter construction time. In the present work, beam-supported slabs and flat plates systems with four…

Comparison of the Driven Pile Bearing Capacity from Formula with Dynamic Pile Load Test

The present study addresses Comparison of the Driven Pile Bearing Capacity from Formula with Dynamic Pile Load Test. All deep foundation types, whether prefabricated and driven or cast-in-situ after drilling will be called a “pile” in this paper. deep foundations are needed where surficial soils have insufficient strength to support a building, bridge or other…
