dilip deole says:

sir,
we want solution for repairing a RCC Tbeam of underpass bridge which was hit by overheighted truck and damaged beam and break the reinfrcement. Traffic is moving smoothly and there is no crack on slab. But we want beam is to be repaired from bottom side. Looking forward for your suggestions.

I am an undergraduate student and i have to design a steel tower for the purpose of bird watch according to Eurocode 3. can you please tell me how to find the dead load, live loads on the structure according to EC3 ?

ARUNESH BAJPAI says:

Hi,

I have a godown which was used for urea storage for few years. this godown was not plastered and its floor was also of bricks laid down on soil.
when it was not in use for urea storage anymore, we have plastered its walls and for floor we have used concrete and then plaster of cement around 8 years back.

Now problem is that too much moisture remains on floor throughout the year except summer. Moisture quantity is so much like somebody has watered the floor.

We have other rooms in the vicinity of this godown and there is not such problem.

Please tell me why it’s so and what can be the permanent solution for it.

Deepak Narayanan says:

Sir,

I am a finance professional working in Construction, hope you may resolve query. Earlier our estimates are based on DSR rates which are inclusive of taxes like Excise, Vat etc. However post GST 18 % tax is applicable on full value.

Hence is there any published document to compare old DSR rates in GST regime

Thanks
Deepak
