Dear VijayWhether it is beam or column, at least 50% of the bars are to be staggered and that too would be outside the zone of h/4 in case of columns.RegardsDilipgeneral@sefindia.org wroteHello MembersCan anybody clarifies as to we suggest staggerd laps for bars in beams BUT FOR COLUMNS the reinforcement bars are lapped at the same place.with regardsVijaygeneral@sefindia.org wrote:-------------------------From: pinkal_1809@yahoo.co.inSubject: axial shortening of columnDate: 09/11/06Time: 12:43:05-------------------------Dear SEFIansWish you very happy day! my self pinkal gandhi i am a student of me (structure) in ddit collage for my thesis work I need your help regarding construction stage analysis of building also i need to code of aci (effacts of axial shortening of columns on design and construction of tall reinforced concrete building)Please provide me name of the book, author and publisher related to construction stage analysis.Any paper dealing to above mentioned topic, journalâs name and month/year of publications.Kindly send me any material/literature you are having.With warm regards pinkal gandhi Find out what India is talking about on - Yahoo!

It is generally correct to say that as the concrete grade increases, the peak/crushing strain decreases. However, we should look at ductile behaiour of actual reinforced concrete member and this would depend on detailing also. It may not be adequate to look at concrete in isolation and therefore, it may not be necessary for the codes to specify a maximum limit on c
oncrete grade for seismic resistant design. 2.) The value of Modulus of Elasticity of concrete given in IS Code [ 5000 * squareroot (cube strength of concrete)],is for design purpose. The behaiour of actual reinforced concrete member would have the effect of confinement provided by the reinforcement, especially the stirrups, etc. The confinement effect would be often beneficial. N P Rajamane Deputy Director and Head, Concrete Composites Lab, Structural Engg Research Centre, CSIR, Taramani, Chennai 600113 (Ph : 22549152 (D), 22549150 (CCLab), Res: 224417882) Email : rajmane[AT]ser..., rajamanenp[AT]yah... : The above opinion is personal and it may not be necessarily the view of SERC.Then, why don\'t the codes specify a maximum limit on concrete grade for seismic resistant design? 2.)Modulus of Elasticity of concrete as per IS Code is given as 5000*squareroot(cube strength of concrete) But , with reinforcement in it concrete would become more stiff.IS there any prescribe approximate value for reinforced concrete in any country code?  -----------------Message From  struct_tech[AT]red...: Date: 09/11/06Time: 15:09:50-------------------------Siddharth Subhedar-----------------Message From  parikshit_pandya[AT]red...: nominal mix designDate: 09/11/06Time: 16:18:39-------------------------Dear all,what are the general thumb rules for nominal mix design?Parikshit pandya-----------------Message From  design_sksk[AT]yah...
