Tie

Tie beam is provided when the two footings are in the same line. Strap Beam(inclined beam) is similar to tie beam but it connects two footings at a certain angle. Strap beam is laid when two footings are in different levels. Tie beam/ Strap beam are specifically located between pile caps and shallow foundations. What […]

Now, as an answer to your question construction of stone/brick masonry support under plinth beams in order to provide support is not required because the load of the plinth beams will be transferred to the columns if it is designed to do so. What is under plinth beam? Plinth beam is a reinforced concrete beam […]

Foundation Tie Beams Strap footing arrangement is mostly used when the columns are eccentric due to property restriction. So in order to avoid the extra moment due to eccentricity of columns a tie beam is provided which connects two isolated footings. This type of tie beam is also called a strap beam. What is the […]

You certainly can. Most houses are made without columns. As long as the spanned space is not too large, you can use various trusses or joists (various composite materials) to span between two load bearing walls. Do you need columns for a house? Yes , you can construct building without beam pillar and column. People […]

Yes , you can construct building without beam pillar and column. People are doing same from ancient days. But you have to design your building for Load Bearing Wall. It may not be economical. What if plinth beam is not provided? If we can’t install beam between two columns, the land depressed at that location […]

i) Lateral tie in column It prevents longitudinal reinforcement bars from buckling, It resists the shear force and hence contributes avoiding shear failure. It confines the concrete core to provide sufficient ductility or deformability, and. It restrains the spliced bars and hence prevents their slip. What are the lateral ties used for what is their […]

Lateral Ties The lateral stirrups provided can be two-legged stirrups, four-legged stirrups or six-legged stirrups etc depending on the column cross-section and the number of vertical or longitudinal reinforcement bars employed. Why are lateral ties provided in column? Providing lateral ties at the proper spacing confines concrete (like gripping the concrete enclosed between the lateral […]

Strut and tie modelling (STM) is a simple method which effectively expresses complex stress patterns as triangulated models. STM is based on truss analogy and can be applied to many elements of concrete structures. What is the purpose of ties and struts in a truss? A key advantage of a truss model is that the […]

FTC is a cavity frame tie which can be used for masonry to masonry or concrete to masonry or steel to masonry construction. What are frame ties? When fixing windows, door frames etc. to masonry, the frame tie provides. enhanced mortar keying and reduces the risk of injury from sharp edges. Note: Frame tie should […]

It generally refers to the horizontal structural element that tends to reduce the slenderness ratio of the columns in the structure and thus stiffen the entire structure as a whole. It is provided at the plinth level of the building. ( It is also known as the upper tie beam. ) What is the purpose […]

Strut is defined as to walk in a stiff, swaggering way. An example of to strut is for a person to walk into a room in such a way as to appear that he is better than everyone else there. To protrude; cause to bulge. What is a strut in a structure? A strut is […]

Strut is a common name in timber framing for a support or brace of scantlings lighter than a post. Frequently struts are found in roof framing from either a tie beam or a king post to a principal rafter. Struts may be vertically plumb or leaning (then called canted, raking, or angled) and may be […]

What is the minimum beam size? In a residential building it is 9 ʺ × 12 ʺ or 225 mm × 300 mm standard size according to (IS codes). The minimum RCC beam size should not be less than 9 ʺ × 9 ʺ or 225mm × 225mm with the addition of a 125mm slab […]

Shocks and struts help stabilize your vehicle’s movements, enhancing control when you turn, brake, accelerate or encounter uneven road surfaces. Today’s vehicles use shocks, struts or a combination of the two. How do you know if you need struts? When struts are worn or damaged, the vehicle will often compensate in other ways. You may […]

Almost all helicopters use them, in the form of metal skids attached to the frame of the helicopter. Spring Steel Struts. One of the most common landing strut systems on general aviation aircraft is the spring steel strut. Bungee Cords. Bungee cords are often found on tailwheel and backcountry airplanes. Shock Struts. Is there a […]

A strut is a piece of wood or metal which holds the weight of other pieces in a building or other structure.the struts of a suspension bridge. What is the function of a strut? Shocks and struts help stabilize your vehicle’s movements, enhancing control when you turn, brake, accelerate or encounter uneven road surfaces. Today’s […]

is that strut is a proud step or walk, with the head erect; affected dignity in walking or strut can be a support rod while truss is a bandage and belt used to hold a hernia in place. What is meant by strut in truss? A strut is a structural component of a roof truss […]

Strut-and-tie modeling is a rational approach for the design of Discontinuity regions (D-regions) in reinforced concrete structures; for instance, deep beams, corbels, beams with dapped end, beams with openings, joints and pile caps. In which of these structures are struts being used? Struts are used in roof trusses, bridges, cranes and pylons. Skeletons are frame […]

Tie beam is a beam that connects roof trusses to two or more columns, rafters, or at any height above ground level to make the entire structure more rigid and stable at the foundation. Tie beams are usually located at the roof truss, floor level and a plinth. What is tie beam in roof? tie […]

A tie is a structural member that is being pulled from opposite ends. It is said that a tie “works in tension.” Columns are vertical, structural members of a structure. Columns stand perpendicular to the ground. What does tie structure mean? Introduction. In engineering, a tie is a linear structural component that has tension acting […]
