Abstract
22Dec 2018 POOR FLEXURAL REINFORCEMENT PLACEMENT FACTOR ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTED DRAINAGE SYSTEM. Kachalla Mohammed. Civil and Water Resources Engineering Department, University of Maiduguri, N.E. Nigeria.
Highlights
Constructional implementation of good structural design that will translate to the require safety and design economy needs good workmanship
Safety and design economy are the key parameter that governs the design of Reinforced Concrete structures
There are principally two worrisome cases, and these are either under reinforced or over-reinforced section. In the former case, the neutral axis (N.A.) depth is less than the balanced depth and this will cause the yielding of steel with large deformation
Summary
Constructional implementation of good structural design that will translate to the require safety and design economy needs good workmanship. Flexural reinforcement placement at its designated (tensile or compression) place plays a very important in achieving both the strength requirement and satisfying the serviceability condition. A case for haphazardly placed flexural reinforcement for lined-drainage during construction of township road that suffers frequent road embankment failure needs further investigation beyond a structured questioner on the effect of poor workmanship.
