Reinforced
concrete design gives concrete building its
required strength to withstand all environmental
and weathering effects. Reinforced concrete
is an amalgamation of two materials: a high
compressive strength plain concrete and steel
bars that have a high tensile strength character.
Reinforced concrete design can take in number
of structures like concrete beams, concrete
slabs, concrete frames, concrete walls etc.
Reinforced concrete designs are constructed
for multiple structural type buildings and components.
It needs a qualitative expertise and analysis
to understand and prepare the reinforced concrete
design for many building structures. Without
a firm compressive strength and tensile strength
no building structural is possible.
Concrete can be reinforced in two specialized
methods
• Presstressing
• Nonprestressing
In a reinforced concrete design compressive
stresses are subjected into the concrete to
reduce its tensile stresses. Thus steel bars,
wired and strands are embedded in the concrete
to provide the needed strength in tension. Nonprestressing
or pre-tensioning is a method of prestressing
in which the tendons are tensioned before concrete
is placed and the prestressing force is primarily
transferred to the concrete through bond.
We have specialist to design and analyze the
reinforced concrete designs to suit high loadings
and weights providing optimal building structure
plans. Major focus on reinforcing concrete is
placed on floor systems as floor systems are
key platforms to create optimal structural designs.
Implemented reinforced concrete designs can
optimize the occupancy levels and increase the
tensile strength affecting the end use of the
building.
