Sir,
What should be the minimum time between (HMA) asphalt paving layers? For eg. If we have a design which says 250mm thick asphalt layer.
This requires be constructed in layers to achieve the required density. For eg. 8cm each layer, now the question is what is the minimum wait Period between each layer? Do we have standard requirements? Such as AASHTO?
Please assist sir. Thank you
In RCC Building,What is Point Load(Example),Unifom Dist Load(UDL),Moment Load please tell me I Know Analysis Design Methods
Is it good…..making under ground water tank and use it as base of building?
How many weight could 4 poles 200mm square can hold??
I have recently constructed a house.There is a beam at the ground level which takes the above load.But the floor has been constructed above the ground level at a height of 2.5 ft from the ground.Now at the point of 2.5 ft height from the ground there is no plinth beam at the floor level.But,yes DPC exists.Now the question is can i put tiles over my floor in the absence of the plinth beam? Can the side walls take the load of these heavy weight tiles or will it form cracks and collapse? What type of flooring do you recommend for such floors?

I am breaking an old wall inside my house, will it affect slab upwards. And what must be the solution to support the slab.

Explain the elements and terms of the contract.
I have a question regarding the feasibility of installation of solar panels on a flat roof constructed by double tee beams.
The solar panel carries weight about 50lb and weight of ballast is determined considering wind flowing at 81mph to be 112lb, hence they together put 50+112=162lb. Now let’s say if I am installing 100 panels, the dead load will be 162×100 = 16200lb. Now please tell me how I am supposed to know the behavior of double tee beam. Whether it can withstand this much amount of load or not? I would be pleased if someone provides me a reference of relevant book.

As it is known , many researchers tried to test the Bamboo as an alternative material to steel as a reinforcement but they look to solve the related issues and one of them is the weak bond between bamboo and concrete.
my question is that, is there any way to solve this issue i mean how to increase the bond between concrete and bamboo material is there any suggested way
