Hello Expects,

Terzaghi bearing equation is used to calculate the soil bearing capacity of a footing. However, I would like to know if the terzaghi bearing equation is invalid if rockhead level is just around 1m below F.L. of the footing because the zone of effect due to the loading from footing is way deeper than 1m. If that is the case, what equation should I use to deal with this situation?

Dear Sir, For my building first floor roof we did PT Beam with Slab. Everything was acceptable except that grouting was not proper. The guys who did grouting came with a machine that has very less pressure. So after long time of grouting the process was not complete for 54 feet long beam. Grouting was not proper in 4 separate inlets(pipes in which grout was forced in). Its around 2 months after this incident. PT person said he will fix it but now he says it cannot be altered and there wont be any issues. I am scared that it may cause any other issues. Can you advise the possible way to fix it and also any possible approach to identify how much space inside is left without grout? Appreciate your soonest response and thanks a lot in advance.

I have a question regarding the article “Use of Aluminium In Building Construction”. Is this market data related to the UK and/or Europe or globally? I’m interested in aluminum usage in N.A. for exterior facads and interior panels i.e. market size for each in terms of tonnes/yr. Any information that you can share would be appreciated. Thank you

When the ISAT test is carried out, the results fit approximately to the
relationship:
Flow = A × t-n, where t is time and A and n are constants. The following graph
shows the results from an experiment. What are the values of A and n?
