Hi,

For any structure (beam/slab/column etc) subjected to a same (fix) load, If I am using different grades of concrete (M10, M30, M60, M80 etc), what  will be effect on reinforcement? Will it remains same or change? Is there any thumb rule for same?

Whether percentage of reinforcement will remain same or change with change in grade of concrete? 

Thankyou, 

Amit

These blogs are the perfect way to develop many and various safety discussions covering large areas of industries. As a student of an MSc in Oil and Gas Engineering I would like to develop a discussion related to safety issues in the sector of well drilling and generally the operations associated with this activity.

Transportation and distribution are two sectors of industry which should also be mentioned regarding safety issues applied there. Many incidents are indicating that there is a need of some improvements in practices applied so far. So, my suggestion is to discuss this topic further.

hi everybody,

                   the element that i considered is 8 noded 2d isoparametric element. composite consists of 5 layers out of which the top and bottom are piezo layers. please help me in writing matlab code for the problem specified .

Reliability Block Diagram (RBD), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Event Tree Analysis (ETA) and Bayesian Network have been said to be useful tools in the Safety and Reliability class. How reliable is this? Can we discuss if this is true.
