Rolling stock maintenance is a crucial element in the railway industry, not only for ensuring the safety and efficiency of current operations but also for informing and enhancing the train manufacturing process. The insights gained from regular maintenance activities help …
Custom manufacturing involves designing, engineering, and creating products or goods with unique specifications. Unlike traditional manufacturing, which emphasizes the mass production of standard items, custom manufacturing focuses on meeting specific consumer requirements. Many businesses improve their production efficiency and product …
The plastics manufacturing industry is a high-volume, fast-paced world. In this competitive environment, plastics manufacturers and processors are constantly striving to optimize their production processes for maximum efficiency. But how do you squeeze every ounce of value out of your …
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, improving efficiency and productivity is more important than ever. Anyone working with 5-axis CNC machining knows that it is a great technique to enhance manufacturing efficiency and output. The best 5-axis CNC would offer the …
There are many empirical equations have been developed for finding the maximum width of cracks. These equations were based on the statistical analysis of experimental result data. In ACI code, two expressions have been mentioned. The two expressions were developed …
If the loads are sustained for longer duration than initial deflections increased very prominently because of the two major affects i.e., creep and shrinkage. These two effects are considered as combined in most of the cases during the calculation of …
Shrinkage in concrete produces a compressive stress in the longitudinal reinforcement of beams and slabs. Tensile stress crops in response to balance the compressive stress. Usually, reinforcements are not placed symmetrically to the concrete centroid. And if the same in …
Elastic deflections are the immediate deflections that occur only once during service period. It is not a time function i.e., there is no specific time when immediate deflections come into action. Mathematically immediate deflections can be expressed as; …
Serviceability of a flexural beam can be achieved by limiting cracking. And the limitations on cracking can be achieved by imposing certain controls on deflections of beams. Deflection control ensures serviceability. If the deflection value is very large then it …
A beam will not fail if there is a good anchorage bond between steel and concrete. In such case, the beam will not be affected even bond get damaged along the entire span. If a valuable resistance is provided against …
