Good day sir pls i need ur help on certain issue which is about my profession which is civil engineering,i am not too good in the courses and i want to be good has you sir, tall me how to go about it thanks
FROM NIGERIA

Manoj says:

Pl I want to know what is the compressive streangth of M20 grade after seven days of curing.
Cement used is ACC PPC.

Mansoor Ali Khan says:

i need to know how can i attach a wooden platform to the concrete slab so that i can extend my balcony and i should be able to remove it when required. hope you can answer my question thanks in advance

madhanesh says:

hello sir…
i want to present a paper about bacterial concrete.i need enough informations about it.. would u pls help me..

Apurba says:

i want to know how to make foundation on rock surface? rock surface means the rock strata is in open. how can we make foundation on that with minimum cost involving?
thank you.

abdallaomer says:

hi
am ask about workability of concrete > i hop you can answer my question thanks .

Masaud Akhter says:

Dear sir
its me masaud akhter final semester civil engineering student and a blogger for civil engineering software tutorials.. i want to know that what is meant by thick plate deformation used in SAFE software while designing slab… any one to help me.? and any one who knows SAFE? i m waiting for reply . hope some one will help me

ramesh says:

sir
1 cu m concrete requirment of cement how much.
i need how to calculate the cement of 1 cu.m concrete of m20 mix.

and how to calculate the sump capacity of water.
how much lit need of 1 cu.m area.

mahesh panda says:

can u tell me how the compression flange of a i section steel beam behaves????

mahesh says:

what is creep and how does it effect the design of concrete structures…………

sangith says:

sir am fresh civil engineer and i want in which limit value the specific gravity want to come in soil test

sangith says:

what is mean by shear strength

Mr. Singh says:

Sir can i get the mix design of concrete which gains 25 Mpa strenght at 7th day

abhi says:

@sangith

refer any book on solid mechanics

abhi says:

@sangith

about limit value of specific gravity ?? question unclear

abhi says:

@mahesh

creep is time dependent deformations over a long period of time, also called secondary deformations.How Creep effects the design of concrete structures, refer IS 456

abhi says:

@mahesh panda

behavior of compression flange?? question not clear
In steel beams generally compression flange is more critical due to tendency of out of plane bending or buckling.And even if u compare the combined result of axial and bending then it is max for comp and bending rather than tension and bending.In pipe racks generally plan bracing are provided near compression flange at anchor location to avoid any buckling.

ujjwal says:

dear sir,

please tell me why average age of a building is decreasing now a days?

mohamad says:

hello sir,
iam fourth year civil engineering and iam intersted to make a research (like tall buildings and lateral forces or any thing in the design domain )i hope u can submit me with a helpful and good ideas includung some journals names and like that
thanks alot

sunil goyal says:

for motorr and pump foundation how struture to be build, steel is necessary to give strnght so viration can be ontrolled
