Sir How to calculate Backfilling soil in Revetment Wall-RRM
how to manually design a slab with openings for stairs?
I am designing a slab and my doubt is ‘can we take different thicknesses of slab in different room lying in same floor’.
My house has a concrete beam of 30 feet length 9inch wide and 13 inch depth which supports a roof of 12×30 feet and a slab of 3 feet. Can I have the same roof structure on a similar beam on first floor. Pls guide me.
Sir Anyone can give clarification about AAC BLOCKS and Ordinary Cement bricks which is the best for building construction and cost saving method.
Can someone tell me- which is the wring about the failure pattern for wall beams without openings and openings in the span?
How to design a simply supported rectangular beam as a prestressed beam of class 1, concrete grade C35, minimum cement content of 300kg/m3, young modulus of elasticity 27kn/mm2. 15.2 mm 7 wire standard strand with tensile strength of 1700N/mm2. Y8. 2 hours fire resistance and moderate exposure. Expected loss of prestress is 25%. Prestress type is pretensioning. Imposed load is 15kn/m. Design using British standard.
What is the additional Reinforcement to be provided for increasing the height of existing RCC Retaining wall’s Height from 1.10 m to 1.90m. The Rcc footing width of Existing Rcc retaining wall is 50cm(Cantilever retaining wall)
What is the tallest steel criss-cross space frame possible determined by the tensile and compressive strength of the strongest steel girders
I imagine this theoretical space frame to be 100km tall and have a circular base 50km in diameter,and ascend as a converging cone shape to a point.
Thanks.
Hi, I have a concern. Around 2005, I bought a garden flat in a 3 floor building at the initial stage of construction. After completion of construction to my surprise, the builder had removed the drainage lines for all three flats above my flat in my garden just next to my kitchen. Also there are two drainage chambers in my garden. Now there drainage leakage issue for some or other flat among the three flats n all dirty drainage water is falling in my garden. I have complained many times to builder but he does not help. I tried to sell the flat but when people see the drainage pipes n leakage in garden, they refuse to buy. The building plan shows drainage pipelines only in the duct. Now I am planning to file a case against the builder, please advise how much can I claim from builder?

Hello. I am currently a civil engineering student and I am wondering what ASTM specification do I need to follow if I want to build a concrete water tank by using concrete hollow blocks as the base of the tank?
I am planning on building a rainwater tank using CHB as the base. I’m sorry for my bad English since it is not my first language.
I am uk based structural engineer. I am designing a steel beam to support a masonry cavity wall above it. Each end of the steel beam will be connected to webs of 2 other steel beams (Imagine a H-shape).
My question:
Why does NHBC Standards Appendix 6.5-C not allow the use of ‘steel angle cleat’ end supports when a beam supports a masonry wall?
Sir mera factory hai.factory me 2 Floor hai.ground Floor is machine room and full ac Floor,and second Floor is NON-AC warehouse.
