i need m 30 grade flyash concrete mix design ….can u plz send it my e mail id or post it on this website.. thank u
Can any one furnish some details regarding UDF analysis in water distribution network
I’m doing BE Civil Eng 3rd year(6th sem) I would like to know about my future career, plz help me
what should be the water cement ratio in M25 grade concrete using PPC
which is the best book for SOLID MECHANICS in terms of vast theory and good numerical.?
Can you help me on the RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTY AND THEIR TEST OF BITUMEN. My name is yomi 4rm Nigeria
can a two storey hospital (total floor area 3600sqft) be built in a paddy field beside a highway in south 24 pgs,west bengal by the low cost construction technique?What will be the approximate cost to build such a hospital?there will be only one operation theatre(20*30ft) in the first floor, one icu room(20*30ft) and one office room (10*20ft),3 toilet.ground floor will have store room(10*20),3opd(10*10),4 toilet and a single hall for 20 beds(30*40).
what happens to th ordinary portland cement on drying after casting?will it shrinks?
Yes
what mix do we choose for M100 grade of concrete
For certain type of material, why do we need to use the offset method to determine the yield stress from the stress-strain diagram? thanx for ur xplanation..
hello sir,
sir i want to know what should be the capacity of compressive testing machine to test M35 concrete ..
i want ot set up a quality lab..
thanks n regards
It must have capacity of 2.5 times the test load. But u should refer different vendors for more technical data
Take 2000KN capacity compressive testing machine to check M35 grade concrete
should at rest,active or passive pressure be used for design of massive gravity wall to be built on a hard bedrock ,then backfilled with a loose uncompacted,cohesionless soil???
To priya,
In your case, it seems that movement towards the soils will take place. Passive pressure shall be used in design.
What does RM 1050 labelled mixer machine means?
RM 1050
. ITS UNIVERSAL MAKE READY MADE CONCRETE MIXER HAVE CAPACITY 1050 LTR
dear sir,
i want to know,difference between the limit state and working stress,design with examples.
To krishna sagar
For working stress approach, service loads are used in the whole design and the strength of material is not utilized in the full extent. In this method of design, stresses acting on structural members are calculated based on elastic method and they are designed not to exceed certain allowable values. In fact, the whole structure during the lifespan may only experience loading stresses far below the ultimate state and that is the reason why this method is called working stress approach. Under such scenario, the most economical design can hardly be obtained by using working stress approach which is now commonly used in the design of temporary works. For limit state approach, for each material and load, a partial safety factor is assigned individually depending on the material properties and load properties. Therefore, each element of load and material properties is accurately assessed resulting in a more refined and accurate analysis of the structure. In this connection, the material strength can be utilized to its maximum value during its lifespan and loads can be assessed with reasonable probability of occurrence. Limit state approach is commonly used for the majority of reinforced concrete design because it ensures the utilization of material strength with the lowest construction cost input.
how many bags of cement are in 2cubic meters of concrete?
what’s the grade of concrete
That depend on the grade for M20 grade we use min 600kg of cement
Kinldy suggest me a good soft ware to design plumbing and sanitary for multi story buildings and factories. And also suggest me a good college (part time) to study the plumbing and sanitary course.
How to use epoxy agent for resurfacing of concrete PQC core
its a wonderful website.
How many cubes(for compressive strength test) should be casted for large concrete jobs(+100 Cum ) , and which code to refer for it??
thank you.
Dear Aditya,
The frequency of sampling for compressive strength test is detailed in BIS 456 – 2000 clause 15.2.2.
This is based on the volume of concrete involved in the work.
As per code guidelines:
Concrete volume in work( in Cubic Meter ) Number of samples(Minimum)
1 – 5 1
6 – 15 2
16 – 30 3
31 – 50 4
> 51 4 + one for every additional 50 CuM or part thereof
Each Shift At least one sample
