Hi,
I wants to 3floor home which includes 4bhk at 1st floor.. and Two 1bhks on other 2floor..with parking on 40*40ft land… So I want to know how much cost I need to pay for it…
Please mail me if anyone help me…
what is total requirement of M20 concrete per cubic metre from pt of mixing up to 28 day strength. On an average is it 1400 litrs ?
What could cause concrete to develop a 28-day strength an order of magnitude 2 to 3 times above the design strength?
hello sir,
Sir my question is related to soil mechanics. In Direct shear test how to take dial gauge, proving ring readings.
Dear Sir,
Hope you are doing good.
Sir, i am looking for an expert opinion from your good self about the following issue….
1. I am looking to buy a 2.5 years old house recently. The condition of the house is just good. But i am concerned about its long term durability… specially structural integrity.
A few details about its construction are…
a) The foundation has rock stone 2′ X 2′ base. followed by a tapered 3′-high burnt brick structure. & finally a 9″-wide X 6″-high plinth band.
b) the wall is 9″ wide and about 11′ high. The windows and doors have 7″ high lintel support.
c) There is no roof-band/ lintel support. and No column support on any load bearing walls.
2. About 30% of houses nearby(in 1Km radius) have produced major to minor cracks in their walls.(cracks started to appear in 1 year or so…)
3. Although no worth mentioning cracks like things appear in this house so far… but is it safe to buy such house in an area where there are issues faced by other residents ?… (Probably due to weak soil or poor construction quality or both)
4. I also need advice on possibility of retrofitting the existing design with the application of CFRP sheets or strips to improve the seismic and overall lateral load bearing capacity?
Your advice would be very beneficial.
Best Regards.

Hello Experts:
I’m losing sleep over a serious matter which is narrated below:
My tenant has installed a flex printing machine on the first floor of my 3 storey RCC building. The RCC building was erected in 1964. The machine itself weighs 850 kgs.
So, I like to know whether it is safe to allow the machine to operate on the first floor. Besides, how much weight can such an RCC building withstand?
Thanking you in advance….

sir…in the question they asked….Design a column and square footing for the size of column 400*400mm with the soil bearing capacity of 180 and axial load of 1500 kn. …..should we design for footing only or column design also with sqare footing should be designed?
Dear All,
I need to have design or structural stability calculations of scaffolding height more than 30 m to be used for access only for my site work.
list the differences between a concrete specification and a concrete conformity
Q) When examining a completed bend test, the angle of the bend was found to be 175 degree. The testing specification calls for the sample to have been formed through 180degree ?
1) the bends should be considered as failed.
2) they should be bent to 180 degree then re- examined.
3) they should be acceptable as the reduction in angle is due to materials spring back.
4) they should be rejected as the angle is not close enough to be acceptable.
