COMMON STRUCTURAL FAILURE CAUSES

The Constructor

Even experience in extensive design in academic context can provide only limited perspective in engineering decision making. Most lessons in engineering decision making come from the cases of histories of failures of structures, which itself are the results of a bad judgement, thus making us understand the pitfalls in conceptual design.

POST TENSIONING IN REHABILITATION OF STRUCTURES

The Constructor

So the engineers decided to go for EXTERNAL POST TENSIONING TECHNIQUE was used successfully for this case. Reinforcement was fabricated and fixed along with post tensioned mono strands (encased in HDPE pipe) to profile. But this option was also not suitable as it was making beam heavier with high volume of reinforcing steel.
