Tie

Struts and ties are common components of structural elements such as trusses. The two components work together to support the weight of other parts of the structure and any imposed load. The struts provide resistance to compression and sometimes contribute to tension resistance. Ties perform the opposite function. What is the purpose of a tie […]

Main Tie/ Bottom Chord It is one of the Most important Components of Truss. The bottom chord member of roof truss is known as Main Tie. The main function of Bottom chord is to take tension. What is strut and tie in truss? Strut and tie modelling (STM) is a simple method which effectively expresses […]

For column tie spacing, not to exceed 16db of vertical bars, 48db of ties, Bs or 150mm, whichever is lesser. As per code provision the stirrups spacing should be least among the : Least lateral dimension of the column. 16 times the diameter of longitudinal main bar. Not more than 300 mm c/c. What is […]

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 […]

Struts and Ties All structures have forces acting on them. The part of the structure that has a tensile force acting on it is called a TIE and the part that has a compressive force acting on it is called a STRUT. What is the purpose of ties and struts in a truss? A key […]

A tie beam that attaches two or more columns or rafters in a roof or roof truss or in any height above floor level to prepare the entire structure stiffer and balance at the foundation level is called a tie beam. Tie beams are mainly given at the roof truss and floor level and a […]

2. Lateral Ties. The lateral ties are transverse reinforcement which forms an individual ring with a fixed spacing between each the links (figure-1(c)). What is the use of lateral ties in column? Detailed Solution. ∴ One of the purposes of the provision of lateral ties in columns is to avoid buckling of longitudinal bars. What […]

The minimum diameter of the ties or helical reinforcement shall not less than 1/4th the diameter of the largest longitudinal bars and in no case less than 5 mm. 2. The maximum diameter of the ties or helical steel should preferably be not more than 12 mm and 25 mm respectively. a) Least lateral dimension […]

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 purpose of lateral ties in column? Detailed […]

1. to resist buckling and strengthen bond. 2. to bind longitudinal reinforcement and proper distribution of concrete. Providing lateral ties at the proper spacing confines concrete (like gripping the concrete enclosed between the lateral ties) thereby preventing pieces of failed concrete from falling away. Why lateral ties are used in column? The following are the […]

“Stirrups” or “Lateral ties” are provided to hold the main Reinforcement Bar together and they are always perpendicular to the main bar in a beam (FIG A). What is the function of ties stirrups? The term stirrups is used to define the transverse reinforcement provided in beam where the primary mode of load transfer is […]

The main purpose of stirrup is to hold the primary reinforcement bars. They also prevent columns and beams from buckling. The stirrups get placed diagonally when there is tension and compression caused by vertical and transverse tension. Are stirrups important? Among other advantages, stirrups provided greater balance and support to the rider, which allowed the […]

12 in.. Current recommended practice for doweled joints is for dowel diameters to be one-eighth of slab thickness, dowel spacing to be 12 in., and dowel length to be 18 in. Dowel bars require care in placement to minimize detrimental effects of misalignment. What is the minimum dowel spacing? Dowel bars are typically 32 to […]

Directions Draw the tie onto the felt sheet and cut it out. Cut thin and thick strips of felt of another colour. Use your glue gun to glue the elastic together. Glue the elastic string onto the tie where the joint on the elastic is. Use regular white glue or the glue gun to glue […]

scarlet and gold. Those sorted into this noble house are chosen for their inherent traits of bravery, determination, and courage. This Gryffindor tie comes in the traditional colours of scarlet and gold. What are Gryffindor colors? Gryffindor (red and gold) is connected to fire; Slytherin (green and silver) to water; Hufflepuff (yellow and black, representing […]

Ravenclaw scarves vary in color because of differences between the Harry Potter books and movies. The ‘book colors’ for Ravenclaw scarves are bronze and dark blue. The ‘movie colors’ for Ravenclaw replace the bronze with silver. What are the Ravenclaw scarf colors? The scarf features the Ravenclaw colours of blue and silver and is finished […]

Slytherins are hardworking and desire success. They are known to achieve great things (even if not always good things). They are the kind of people who make you want to be better just by being around them. They are determined and resourceful. What is the purpose of the house of Slytherin? Slytherin is one of […]

‘You’ll make your real friends, those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends‘ is the motto of Slytherin. Generally throughout the series majority of the Slytherins were bad. What is Slytherin house motto? The house mascot of Slytherin is the serpent, and the house colours are green and silver. The Slytherin motto is […]

Made from 100% Silk, the tie features a scarlet and gold design in diagonal bands just like those worn by Hogwarts students in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. What color is Ravenclaw ties? Wear your House Tie with pride and be a true member of Ravenclaw. This Ravenclaw tie comes in the house […]
