Srinivas G says:

Dear sir,
i work for an cement company as an technical officer to solve problems in site. Due to cement.
I had recently found a problem with one of my client. He makes pre cast windows
his complaint is he’s getting cracks if he uses our cement and that problem not seemed when using other cement. With same procedures, and materials. Wat would be the problem

Raghavendra chary.Joshi says:

sir, can you explain me what is prestresed concrete & poststrested concrete slabs.

M. Sai Suresh says:

Can you tell me the formula for Mix design

Chandrasekhar says:

There is no particular formula for mix design,but there are two main important methods to obtain the design of mix:those are IS method and DOE method:Go through both of them,one is indian standard method and the other is american standard method.You can get a clear idea if you solve several problems on them.From the book of G.L.Gambhir and setty.

rakesh kumar sinha says:

if the soil used in cbr test. then can we re used that sample to make the cbr…??? what effect on result will be there???

mohd irfan says:

i wanna a concept of stress and strain in beam fully about that

timothy says:

am a beginner in civil engineering can u put me through on how to design a slab

ukadikie ikechukwu says:

pls how can i get the active ingredients from locust bean pod ash. LBPA

Roshan says:

Dear All,
I wanted to know how can i calculate Cement, FA, CA, Water and Steel Quantity in 20,000Ltr. Sump with M30

Karma says:

can any one tell me,what will be the standard difference of compressive strength of ready mix concrete and site mix concrete

bhanu says:

In RMC they use standard proportions of cement sand and aggregates. in rmc they also use baby chips to fill voids in structure. in site the workers are lazy they mix the concrete with different time and soon

Javed ahmad says:

Dear Sir,

can any one tell, how much steel requried for 15*15*0.15 meter RCC floor slab.

Thanks

Naresh kumar says:

Dear sir,
Please tell me how to find angle of friction at site and also in Lab…??

nowshad says:

I need to know a realistic thumb rule of rebar placement in a 4 to 5 storey building structure for a normal soil,
Regards

Arun says:

why rebar cover is required in concrete?

Shashi Kant Kalla says:

What should be (Minimum & Maximum) the ratio of tensile stress and yield stress in reinforcement where it is used.

bhanu says:

in slabs where does cranks take place?
what is the importance of chair in construction of reinforcement?

giri says:

if concrete cube fail means what are tests promptly to be done

sai says:

sir,can u please suggest me how to use building debris in sugrade in road construction..
