i want to know more about civil eng iam 1st year… please mail me easy notes
I’m currently doing my masters degree about the influence of the cure process in the durability of concrete with plastic aggregates.
Can you point out sources where i can get some crucial information about it?
Thank you
Hi,
Iam residing in an apartment. It has 2 blocks A and B. We had some water issues hence planning to go for ground water. The location for drilling has been identified. It is quite close to a compound wall on one side and far away from any pillar. One of the members pointed out there was a plinth beam running somewhere close by to the location. My question is – if during the drilling process, it hits the beam. will it affect the structure if so how? secondly will it have cracks in all the beams across the apartment or will it be localised to that beam only. thirdly how to rectify the same. please do let me know the answers for the same.
To chethan
The consequece of drill hitting a beam depends on the location where it hits the beam. It is undesirable to hit the beam at its end owing to high shear region; nor it is desirable at its mid-span as it is the point of high flexure. Also care should be taken not to hit the reinforcement as different reinforcement has different functions.
For problem of cracking, there may be cracks only in beams if there is not significant structural problems. however, if the beams suffer from structural demerit, it may affect the load-carrying ability of other members of the building and deveops cracks subsequently.
I would like to ask one question @ beam-column junction reinforcement.Wheasther the stirrups of beams or columns are to be bind in beam-column junction.And where the main bars are to bind , outside or inside of the column reinforcement?
hello sir, i am in my final year of engineering and want to do a major project related to structures.
looking forward to your help in the form of ideas and related data
thankyou.
i have problem in learning design of structures. what should i do this is my core subject. this is very important for me. i need this in every examinaton and interview.
sir,
i would like to gather more information about masonry, but there is no sufficent material in portal,
Dear sir, How to get high slump (150-180) for a M30 mix with Ultratech Portland Slag Cement? This is required for a tremie concreting for coastal area Piles.
1.How to do the M30 design mix with oversize 10mm(61% passing instead of 85-100%) and 20mm(58% passing instead of aggregate 85-100%).Whether it is mandatory to have gradation of aggregate as per IS 383) if not what are the corrections?
2.How to maintain a slump of 100mm after 2 hours?.
To ARNAV
Slump-loss is a consequence of water reacting with cement. On avergae, the concrete lost an
average of 2 inches of slump per hour. One may try retarder to extend the time of slump loss.
sir i m very serious about my future becoz sir my colleg is not a fs one only four years before it was open give me som help cont me sir
sir,i have question .who is the first civil engg in the world ,who known s father of civil engineer,civil enggs r first known s wht

hi h r every body. i m facing one perblom i not understand the method of top soiling.so dear engineers please any one of you if know the mean and method of excution of top soling please E mail the working statment. thanks
what exactly are composite buildings?
To deepu
Nowadays, it is not uncommon that buildings are designed in the form of composite structure (different materials), for example, they are built using reinforced concrete as the core and structural steel as the outer embracing frame.
Where i can do intern after 2nd year?? When should i apply for it.
I am civil Engg student from IIT Bombay. The company or institute should be in india.
sir,
actually i am a doing my BE civil 2nd yr in anna university chennai.. i am planning to do a paper presentation on “PALM JUMEIRAH”.. i have some doubts related to it..Will the islands be affected by salt water erosion..? IS it possible to construct artificial islands in the shore of India ? wont the islands be affected by Tsunami ? Will the construction of artificial islands affect the marine ecosystem? Pl help me in knowin about these..
sir,
irecently i have completed my civil engineering. i was interested in building designs.please let me know strctural engineering comes under this category or not. if not can u tell me what are the contents involved in it. and i want to know about the basics of building designs both therotically and practically and also some building plans and designs.if possible i want to talk with a civil engineer
sir,
pls tell me the diffrence between pure construction and applied construction
hi,
can any one help me by giving the answer for how to calculate the quantity of cement and sand required for 1:6 plastering
To suvitha
1:6 plastering refers to 1 part cement mixed up with 6 parts by weight of sand in plaster.
Should be by volume. Typo mistake.
sir tell me about green buildings?what are they?methods of construction ?tell me evrything?
how me obtain natural fibre concrete
