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.
sir, I want to know about how to mix concrete mix design.
Sir,I have decided to do a project on using rusted iron in concrete to increase its strength and also to reduce the uses of fine aggregate in cement.So can any one give me informations regarding the properties of rusted iron????
hello sir…
i want to know about masters of structural engineering???
best foreign university for the course???
pls reply……..
How rigid the joints of building build with the precast wall panels connected by single vertical rod passing through the shear key links from each connecting wall panel? would this be sufficient to protect the structure from earth quack of 7 to 8 rick scale? what shall be your general idea on actual workmanship of the joint & that provided in drawings(concrete strength, no of links dia of vertical rod etc) Pl reply…….
How can we test the precast building structure built form the precast wall panels & pre stressed slabs panels for the earth quack of different magnitude?
I am Inspector of Work for a ms water pipe laying project.
When I found that Resident Engineer prepared and certified monthly progress claims no 1 to 16, I have reported to consultant but unfortunately my contact ended a few days later. Final Statement/Backup calculation was revised later.
I would like to know is it corruption or so called fraud claim? The water pipe was handover to client and running now.
The consultant claimed that within 1-year of Defect Period they can revise the claim and shouldn’t be called it corruption.
May I know any action can be taken to those involved in corruption? I believe client, consultant and contractor involved together and there were many similar projects.
sir,
please send me the mix design of hollow and solid concrete blocks
shemy
required strength of cube and calculation to find out strength of cube.
First of all sorry for my english. My question is : Can I cast shear walls, beams and slab at once ? (in the same time or in the same day). It is not practical and economical to do it in two separate steps. And if not, whitch are the reasons (concrete shrinkage ? columns bars disturbance etc etc.).
I know the UBC code construction recomend to wait until concrete from columns and shear walls is out from its plastic state.
Thanks in advance
Design mix for 1.0 cum of m-25 is cement-410 kg
f/A 638 kg
C/a 10mm 436 kg
20 mm 656 kg
pls tell me how to calculate quantity of sand, 10mm & 20 mm in cubic meter
Can you use fly ash in concrete for replacement of cement? Which proportation?
Hello Sir,
i am the student of civil engg and i want to write JE or AE exam…i dont know about the requirements to write that exams..kindly anyone help me
dear sir,
i m a structural engineering student, carrying out my thesis work currently in INFILL FRAME using ANSYS. I would appreciate if you could send me the non-linear graph of the stress-strain for M20 reinforced concrete.
I intend to build an independent 2BHK House on 2nd floor of existing building in H SR L/O, BANGALORE.Can any one give the links details(on internet) from where I can get the details of building material required like cement, steel, sand, bricks etc.
Thanks

Dear sir
Can you please tell me the difference between A.M.I.E. and B.E. ?
A.M.I.E. is Associated Members of Institute of Members and B.E. is Bachelor of Engineering. After successfully qualifying Part- I & Part-II exams of A.M.I.E. you can get a degree from Institute of Engineers which is equivalent as B.Tech/B.E./or B.Sc.Engineering.
For free swell index test of soil-After taking samples in measuring cylinder with water is it required to shake or only air is required to be reomved by gently inserting a thin glass/steel rod. We are getting less swelling by doing this way compare to shaking vigrously the soil samples. Here I think it is required to give time to swell not to make soil in suspension. Because by doing this way false swell it will give. Pl give your suggesion for actula measurement
suppose for a normal concrete mix workabilty compaction factor is 0.86,if i want to improve c.f. to 0.92,is it possible by adding certain admixtures like micro silica or fly ash?.If so pl.give the reasons.

Sir,
I want to know about RCC chimney construction with Slip form.
If possible please give tips for how to check slope and twist.
Greetings!
I am a civil eng’g student doing a research paper regarding the behavior of concrete exposed to fire. The concrete we used is based on our country’s standard. I would like to ask on how can we evaluate the strength and what materials can we use to continue this research. Thank You
If existing layer is 300 mm thick old rigid concrete, is it possible to to resurface the same with first layer of 50 mm thick bituminous macadam and then again 300 mm of rigid concrete…I mean one sandwich of flexible layer between two rigid concrete layer
Dear Mr Jain,
No.
