What is a formwork and why it is used in construction ?
Concrete as mentioned in the previous posts it is the most widely used construction material by the construction industry. It is to be noted that concrete is a material which
Concrete
What is concrete and How it is made?
Concrete Concrete is the backbone of civil engineers. It is one of the most widely used construction material because of its own stand out efficiencies. It is a man made
Why Exposure Condition In Concrete Mix Design
In any concrete mix design it is very important to consider the exposure condition for an efficient and durable design, as it effects the entrapped air concentration and moisture content.
What are the Thumb Rules for Concrete Mix Design ?
A site engineer needs to know some of the fundamental thumb rules, which one can apply directly at the site without compromising the strength. Under simple circumstances and situations where
M15 concrete mix design -Steps|IS-10262:2009 |IS-456:2000
In this emerging world of modern design of structures, concrete acts as the backbone of civil engineering. A structural engineer’s first and foremost objective is to build an efficient and
Under-reinforced v/s Over-reinforced
Structural members are designed for loads that are expected to occur during the intended life of the structure. But sometimes the structure gets loaded beyond these loads and the structural
How are column ties different from beam stirrups?
Even though both appear to be same physically the difference lies in their intended function. Ties The term tie is used to define the transverse reinforcement provided in column where
What is the difference between a beam and a column?
Beam and Column In structural engineering we give names to different structural members based on their behavior under applied load. For example: Say you have a rod of length 3
How do we know whether a two way slab is continuous or discontinuous along its edges?
A continuous edge means that the slab can transfer the load to the adjacent slab through that edge. Consider the above L shape building with three slabs cast monolithically (this is important
What is Bending Moment? Understanding with Examples and Images
To illustrate the importance of bending moment, let’s conduct a simple demonstration. Place a ruler flat on a desk and push it downwards. You will notice that as the length
