So if you have any query regarding the concerned matter, just drop a comment and we will try to solve it as soon as possible.
which country is best to do MASTERS ?
which stream is best to opt(like transportation,structures etc;) ??
Can you provide the consequences of adding additional water in the concrete( M40) mixture of the truck mixer. The w/c ratio is 0.42 and admixture is CFC12.
To sivakumar,
To substantially change the water-cement ratio of the concrete , external energy must be supplied to the system such as troweling passes with excess water on the concrete surface.
When water is added to a truck mixer which exerts energy on water, it will incraese the water cement ratio. As such, the strength and durbility of concrete mix will be decreased while workability will be increased.
can anyone say about workability in 2 lines.?
To karthikeyan
Workability is defined as the amount of mechanical work required for full compaction of the concrete without segregation.
sir kindly understand me how to control bleeding of DBM at site.?
To pitambar pradhan
There are many ways which affect bleeding of DBM. Take one factor air void for discussion. A minimum amount of air void should be maintained to avoid
instability during compaction process and to provide space for bitumen flow
in long-term consolidation under traffic loads. A sufficient amount of air
voids should be designed to make room for expansion of binder in summer
and compaction by road traffic, otherwise bleeding and loss of
stability may occur and the pavement will deform readily under severe
loads.
how to design and calculate the cascade drain?
dear sir..how to calculate weight of nylon (p e) and teflon (ptfe) rods..pls explain with example…rgds
dear sir… why debonding pipes are used in both ends of rectangular planks(PRETENSIONING OF PSC PLANKS). Plz. explain with example.

Can you send a sketch to show the planks with debonding pipes?
rate build up for M30 concrete. Test result shows strength of M24. How to calculate differential cost. Pls explain with example. Thanks & Regards
To subir kumar somadder
For test results which did not comply with the standard, engineers usually reject it (remove it and recast another one). If defective works is accepted otherwise, the cost reduction is determined by the engineer. It can be calculated based on the percenatge of reduction in compressive strength (i.e. 24/30 = 0.8).
during the mix design of m-20 grade concrete the mean target strength was taken as 26.6 n/sqmm. during the execution of work is it essential to achieve this strngth on all the time
Dear All ,
We are planning to put a CLC Blocks Manufacturing in AP.In the same i have few quires . 1 . Initial Strength of CLC Block is not up to BSI standards. 2.What could be the Indian market acceptance for the CLC against AAC.3Accuracy of output of a block in the means of dimension and density is also improper these are a few technical issues faced by us . If any of you can please help me in this regards it would be really helpful for us Thank You All Regards-Manoj
Dear Sir
Please explain me whether there is any difference in tire mounted and truck mounted crane.
Kindly reply me as quick as possible.
thanking you.
To Sambit kumar tripathy
Truck mounted crane refers to crane attached to a truck eliminating the need for special equipment to transport the crane. When working on the jobsite, outriggers are extended horizontally.
Tire mounted crane is only a type of truck mounted crane.
We need mix design for concrete block
I want to know use of mixing iron filings in concrete mix. What kind of filings / dust is required for the purpose?
Thanks,
sir,
i am a 1st year student of civil engg.. i wanted to ask u that ” what can be the possible alternate of mud bricks in construction?”.. i need to make an assignment on the topic so please give me a direction to look upon.. specifying the strength, durability, its economicity etc..

Dear sir
In our Project we have to cast a RCC fin of size 200x1200mm up to a height of 15m with out a support at middle. Is it possible to have a structure like this?
Pls suggest.

Can someone tell me how to calculate the qty of cement,sand and metal in m25 concerte.
Sir can you tell me that is it feasible to use blast furnace slag aggregates & its dust in concrete or road applications
To Amit
Sure.
what is mean by mivan shuttering.
dear sir ,i want to know about standards and mix design for making interlocking pavers and bricks on hydraulic press commonly used in streets and walk ways.
sir,
i m an M tech final year structural engg student . i want to prepare a thesis. can u gude me and suggest a sutable topic.
