So if you have any query regarding the concerned matter, just drop a comment and we will try to solve it as soon as possible.
Dear Sir,
Can the field density of sand (used as filling material) be calculated accurately by core cutter and rapid moisture meter? how reliable and accurate it would give if compared with other methods.
I have a problem
What is the best code of practice to increase the hieght of a reinforced concrete column which was previously cast with a short hieght. The increase of hight is required for archituctural purposes. And the region is defined as active in Earthquakes.

i am betech 2 year civil tell me how to prepare strength of materials and structural analysis
dear sir,
i have a problem with structure. i am confused about the actual meaning of share force changes from negative to positive at any particular section. will you please help me.
I am a student and i wanna know the engineering characteristics of soil in detail…..If u can tell me ASAP!
@anusha
For strength of materials,refer any book ex:- E.popov,Ramamurthan etc
For structural analysis refer book:- CS Reddy,vazarani etc
To better understand the behavior of structure,load any analysis software like risa,staad,sap etc in your pc, model any structure and see how they behave under certain load conditions with moments and deflection occurring, after practice u will able to judge the behavior of structure under load without analysis and once u know the behavior of structure u feel easy(say interesting) to solve it manually otherwise its just calculations u r performing.
Note:- while studying any mechanics like som ,fluid mechanics,dynamics first always try to judge the behavior under certain situation, its helpful in developing the concept.
sir,
Could you please tell , why the california bearing ratio (CBR) value for soil should be more at 2.5 mm penetration?
sir, i need all data about accelerated curing test, and tank. please inform to my mail. plz
sir,I’m 3rdB.tech civil student i want to know what topics are best to do a academic project in this summer along with names of traning institutes or companies which provide good guidance for purpose.
anybody kindly provide me the detail project report on rail-over-bridge ROB designing concept and working out forces & loads with calculations.what type of load bridge experiences,there formula & calculations.
thanks.
@deepika
deformation in soil during cbr test is basically shear deformation and when the load initially applied the total depth is effective in resisting the load,now the depth available to resist the load at 2.5 mm is more than at depth of 5mm.Also if the cbr value at 5 mm is more than 2.5 mm , it may be the case of poor compaction of soil during preparation of soil sample ( note:- not necessarily true), thats why test is repeated to check any error in sampling.
@D Santhi
From my own exprience, training at construction site is better than design because you already have done enough design in your course.Training at site is helpful in latter stage to understand the problems and issues on site while designing and also helps you in revamp projects.
Dear sir;
is there is realy self compacted concrete, or it is easy compacted concrete.
and what is the allowable hight for casting for all cases.
Whether the Degree from Institution of civil Engineers is authentic/reconized by Govt. of India.
Plz send the details for “How to control wastage of all building materials”
how to concrete volume of the chimney wall of height 70m, inner dia 10m, outer dia 8m,
upper inner dia 4m, upper outer dia 5m?
Sir,
Is there any Quality Tests that can be performed for “Cement Concrete Kerb Stone”?Pl give me the answer
Dear Sir,
Please give me the formula for the calculation of dom inner surface, Plaster, shuttering etc.
I need it.
Thanking you.
In material units, 0.00000785 what this? How to use. Plz. give detail
sir , please suggest me some working civil engineering models or projects.
thank you
