Hi. I am curently doing my Masters on structural engineering and at the moment we have a bridge design. My structural choice for this bridge design is a steel box girder. Are their any design guidelines on how to design and obtain preliminary sizing and some minor calculations which will give a rough estimate of the box girder. Thanks and Regards
Good morning sir,

Shall for concrete covers only site engineer responsible to make decisions
We have 20000 sqft of concrete terrace surface paved with terracotta/clay tiles with inter-tile space filled with cement. Is there any product or solutions to water-proof the surface without removing the clay tiles? Or, is there any adhesive material to seal the inter tile space since the cement grout holding it is slowly wearing out?

HI
thank for this website i learn a lot and my question is how to calculate a home construction material cast or price over all in percentage for example like sand cement steel flooring door and window tiles etc thank waiting for reply
Dear Experts,
It seems the comparison between conventional RCC and PC storage tanks is very interesting. Do you have any idea about the cost of steel tanks instead of RCC or PC which is cheaper and the best in terms of structural elements, construction duration and maitnenance.

what is the structural behaviour and form of a truss
Dear sir, Could you please help im unsure what the structural form and behaviour of a truss is
sir we all cast pcc of very low grade…why? for top surface level okk…but when the load acts heavy on that i.e from slab to beam,beam to column,column to footing,footing to sub soil…in betn there is pcc…if it is of low grade..then it gets crushes…is it happens or not? and bldg gets uneven settlement..
To obtain a higher strength of concrete (40 mpa) do you add more cement and reduce water to make a lower water/cement ratio ? And is the aggregate reduced also when cement powder is increased ? Is a .36 water/cement ratio too high for the cement to hydrate properly as I have seen this written ?
Thanks

Dear All, How we could identify that a concrete structure; specially RCC slab or podiums, needs to be treated by grouting before waterproofing or say finishing?
What is wild load?
REQURIED SOLUTION.
A concrete mix design of 1:2:4 has a water/cement of 0.5.Calculate the cement content of the mix if the compacted density of fresh concrete is 2400kg per cubic meter
how does the void affect the property of aggregate in cement concrete production?
sir , i am BE civil 8th student. please tell me what is the effect of stone dust in place of sand on strength.
