Congratulations to Dr. Nicola Gehri, Dr. Ali Amin, Prof. Dr. Michael Kraus and Prof. Dr. Walter Kaufmann on their newest article published in Structural Concrete, titled “Limit analysis and design recommendations for fiber-reinforced concrete subjected to shear”. The paper presents the application of the theory of plasticity to the design of fiber-reinforced concrete webs and proposes an efficient and mechanically based shear design model.

Question: As per IS 2911(Part 1/Section 2):2010, we can design calculate end bearing and skin friction for Bored Cast in Situ concrete piles. However, the formula for the calculation of ultimate load capacity of pile given in B-4 of Annexure B of the code (based on SPT N Values, Screenshot attached) is not used as a common industrial practice for pile design considerations. Why is it so? Responses are welcomed in the comment section as well as direct messages.

Did you know that concrete costs can be reduced by up to 60% when using Diamond Grid as the reinforcement structure, as concrete depth required is only 40mm? Considerable savings can be made on concrete requirements and labour. Read more about Diamond Grid here: https://lnkd.in/gF-VjVDm

Concrete cracking not only diminishes visual appeal but can also cause structural issues. A new modeling tool has been developed to tackle this problem effectively. Boral #concrete #concretetestequipment https://lnkd.in/g7JA_2pw

Is there a specific clause in the SBC code that addresses the equation for calculating the modulus of elasticity for high-strength concrete, or should we refer to the ACI 363R-10 report for this equation?
