Beam and Their Bending Moment
Introduction of Beam and Their Bending Moment Beams are the long, horizontal supports that you see in everything from houses to bridges. They carry loads (weight) by resisting bending. The amount of bending a beam can take before it snaps is called its bending moment. Types of Beam and Their Bending Moment There are many …
Concrete Vibrator Machine Types, Uses and Function
Introduction of Concrete Vibrator Machine Types, Uses and Function A concrete vibrator is a construction tool used to consolidate concrete by removing any air pockets that may be present.

Compressive and Tensile Stresses in Structural Members
Introduction of Compressive and Tensile Stresses in Structural Members Compressive and tensile stresses are two of the most common and important types of stresses that occur in structural members. Compressive stresses tend to decrease the size of a material, while tensile stresses tend to increase the size of a material. If a material is evenly …
Bulk Density and % Voids of Coarse Aggregates
Introduction of Bulk Density and % Voids of Coarse Aggregates Construction materials are often classified based on their granular size. Coarse aggregates are particles greater than 4.75 mm, but generally range between 9.5 mm to 37.5 mm in diameter.Fine aggregates are particles with diameters less than 4.75mm. Bulk density is a measure of mass per …
H- Type and I- Type Beam
Introduction of H- Type and I- Type Beam In construction, a beam is a horizontal member spanning an opening and carrying vertical loads. Its purpose is to provide support that prevents the structure above from spreading or collapsing. Beams are traditionally made of wood, but they can also be made of steel, reinforced concrete, or …
Bending Moment, Equation, Calculation and Diagram
Introduction of Bending Moment, Equation, Calculation and Diagram A bending moment is simply the reaction to a moment or torque applied to an object. The term comes from the fact that when an object is placed under a load, the load will tend to bend the object. The amount of bending that occurs depends on …
Hydration of Cement and Heat of Hydration
Introduction of Hydration of Cement and Heat of Hydration When cement is mixed with water, it undergoes a chemical reaction known as hydration. This process causes the cement to harden and bond with the other ingredients in concrete, resulting in a strong, durable material. The hydration process is exothermic, meaning it gives off heat. The …
