Hello

Greetings from civilera.com

Did you learn about a failure of a column in an apartment in Kochi? As an aspiring civil engineer,these should be of your interest.

I have been discussing about this in linkedin and HERE is the LINK for this.

Connect me on linkedin HERE if you have not yet.I will be posting all my updates there.

Back to about the failure, there could be many reasons.One could be that the rebars rusted and the links opened up and the already overstressed column burst open.

Here is a video that shows how you have to design and detail links in a column

If you are keen to get such tips on design and wants to learn structures, reply to this email.

Let me know what kind of content you like.

For your success
