VIKRAM A MOKANI says:

Dear Sir,
what is the weight of 8mm chequered plate?
also please explain how to calculate weight of chequered plate of any thickness?

Kota Nageswara Rao says:

Weight Calculation: Extra weight of chequers length (m) x width (m) x 2.1 = kg/plate
Total weight: length (m) x width (m) x thickness (mm) x 7.85 + extra weight = kg/plate
Eg:
2400 x 1220 x 6mm Chequer Plate
Extra weight: 2.4 x 1.22 x 2.1 = 6.15 kg/plate
Total weight: 2.4 x 1.22 x 6 x 7.85 + 6.15 = 144.06 kg/plate

Sir, I am a M.Tech Traffic and Transportation Planning student from Kerala. Please suggest a topic for my one year project work.

jamir says:

we have recently constructed a 2,50000ltrs capacity RCC overhead tank. we have use waterproofing compound too and M20 concrete. but there is leakage seen from the walls and joints. please provide some solution. thank you.

Kota Nageswara Rao says:

Dear Jamir,
You cut 1 inch Vgroove at construction joint allround and inject cement slurry with water proof in joint. after you fill vgroove with cM1:2, add water proof in cemet mortar.

mahendran says:

now your are constructed water tank,So you can do only grouting . fist you drill the hole of wall after prepare cement grout with pidicrate water proofing grout 7 mpa pressure then your problem will solve

Rajesh garg says:

How can calculate the wet density of cement ( cement Paste) . Actually it required for reconcilation of cement. which used in post tensining tendon. I have calculate the volumne of tendon & void volume, but not understand how to calculate the cement quantity required for per cubic meter in wett condition. cement dry density is 1440 kg per cumbic meter, but in paste condition it will take more qty. for per cubic meter. how to calculate the same.
