What are Trusses | Types of Trusses What are Trusses Trusses can define as the triangulation of structure members to make the structure stabilized. Triangulation is the stable structure configuration and typically has a top chord, bottom chord, vertical chord, and diagonal chord members. The main work of the trusses is carrying the loads from […]

Load Bearing Wall | Types of Load Bearing Walls What is a Load Bearing Wall A load-bearing wall can be defined as a wall that is an active structural member of a building and holds the load or weight of the other structural members above it by transferring the load to a foundation structure below […]
Combined Footing Design: An Important Structural Element What is Combined Footing? A Combined footing is typically a combination of various footings types, that utilizes the properties of different types of footing in a single footing based on the requirement of the structure. A combined footing carries two or more columns along a straight line Combined Footing Design
What is Strap Footing | Strap Footing Design What is a Strap Footing A strap footing is part of a building’s foundation. It is a sort of combined footing, along with two or more column footings connected by a concrete beam. This kind of beam is called a strap beam. It helps distribute a load of either closely […]
