Actions on structures are divided into permanent, variable and accidental. The correct design of the structures will take them into account, since their function is to support them. What it is about is to obtain a reliable structure, understood as read more
The design of structures is essential when designing architecture. Advancing in concepts and typologies requires taking risks and proposing structures that are different from the usual models. In this post, 5 items are proposed when designing read more
Composite sheet slabs are a type of composite slab that introduces a corrugated galvanized steel sheet and a compression layer of concrete. This plate acts avoiding the use of propping in the floors, since they are capable of read more
The struts are used to transmit the loads of the concrete structure while it is setting. They are necessary during in-situ formwork, since the concrete takes at least 3 days to harden, as to remove the formwork. Although the read more
Linear structural elements in concrete are columns and beams. Concrete columns work mainly with compressive stresses and beams with flexural stress.Many times compression and bending are combined and we have read more
