Sir,
Please tell me,I have weight of 100 kg and square ms hollow (25mm x 25mm) about 305 mm long.i want to know its load bearing capacity that how much it can bear the load.
the datum are not sufficient , we need the flexural rigidity of the strut (i.e) the young’s modulus ‘E’ and moment of inertia ‘I’
Sir, greetings,
I want to know what are a basic field requirements for a basic indoor stadium for a approx. 80x80m field. Plz help me from where i can find some information or presentations or reports regarding a site plan or a concept plan for a indoor stadium, its fundamentals etc..i will be very obliged..thank u.
Respected Sir,
Wind is a dynamic load. So, why we consider it as a static load while analysing (Portal or Cantilever method) any multi-storey frames. Please give your opinion sir.
what is effect on physical properties of cement, if the residue of cement on B.S 90 m sieve is greater than 10% for OPC?
why ‘L’ is provided in footing reinforcement
It’s the ‘developing length’ , this is done in every joint’s of structure for safety
sir, i have passed btech in civil engg in 2012. in present time i am working in a c grade organisation. i an very confused dat what can i do in future ? please help me sir
Dear Guys;
I have a concern regarding the use concrete water tanks in the basement of the my house to be ( 3 storey) . The structural columns will be an intergral part of the walls of the tank (rectangular) thus in the long run the steel will be subjected to water infiltration and corrosion, morover we will most likely go for a raft which will serve as grade slab for the basement and also foundation for all the columns in the basement area, thus water may penetrate through the base of the water tank and infilltrate to the entire raft later.
Please advise wether this is OK as opposed to the use of the isolated poyethylene tanks option. The concrete tank option has a volume advantage as it would be double that of the polyethylene tanks option.
Regards;
Jad
There are many water proofing solutions for concrete available in market , look for the best , this will surely control the infiltration .
Hi team,
We have a CGHS society with stilt+10 storey building in Delhi. Recently we saw that the beams and piler have started developing cracks. We have talked to few sturucural audit companies and each if them is providing its own list of test to be performed. Can you please suggest the methods that need to done to test to ensure the health of the building is fine and also how to ensure that the building is as per earthquake resistant zone requirement or not.
which are the reasons would you like to give for various road pavement failures?????
improper and insufficient sub-grade , stagnation of water due to improper ‘camber’ and drainage design, thermal expansion , excess load than the design wheel load etc..
in hary west’s book ( fundamental of structural engineering)
he says:
-tension and compression structures are composed of members that are subjected to pure tension or compression.
-such an arrangement is provided for highly efficient material usage because there’s a constant stress level over the entire cross-section area of each member
– this is true for tension elements, howevercompression elements are liabled to buckling
————–
i want to understand what arrangement he means??
or what i should understand from the middle paragraph
he speaks about the composite member which could tolerate both tension and compression (i.e) Reinforced cement concrete members

How is a seven floorsor more high residential building designed in detail with all aspects taken into consideration? If there is a real detailed example about design of a residential building in detal, please let me know where i can find one?
how are opportunuties now in the civil field
whether it is possible to construct floor farming . if yes what could be the difficulties that we can face?
Good afternoon sir, iam a civil engineering working i a company ,i have 350 cross sections of canal to draw,can u suggest me that can we draw using excel.if we can draw please forward me a example excel sheet urgently.Iam witing for ur mail
2 beams perpendicular to each other. 1st beam 300*750 with span 16m; 2nd beam 300*500 with span 8.5 m. there are 2 2nd beams intersecting 1st beam at its zero bending moment. which beam bar to be kept at topmost point?
Sir will u provide specific gravity of bitumen, cement and concrete.
My structural engineer has recommended M25 grade concrete for our footings. However, RMC prices are very high in my area and it works out cheaper to use a gang to mix it on site. Could using the proportions, mentioned in IS 10262-2009, by volume be done on site? How do you recommend we mix on site.
