Study on Capacity of Pile Caps with STM

This thesis studies the sustainability of the pile cap using the strut-and tie method and also selects the calculation method using the beam theorem to verify the final answer. By applying the manual calculation for both methods : The calculation according to the beam theorem method based on the given hypotheses, the results of the…

Capacity of RC Columns Strengthened with RC Jackets

Reinforced concrete (RC) jacketing of RC columns is used to increase the load-carrying capacity due to insufficient strength and it improves ductility behavior of the RC columns after jacketing. In this study, strength capacity of the RC columns strengthened with RC jackets was studied. To achieve the goal of this study, the strength capacity of…

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…
